RIP Ken Downie. Hard to overstate just how important Ken, as part of The Black Dog, were (and still are) to electronic music here in the UK. Bytes is one of those rare timeless albums, which has stayed with me over many decades of my life. Just awful. Condolences to his friends and family.

Great to see ACDSleeve returning next year. Tom did my original CD sleeve/packaging for Lithea back in 2012 (!) and it looks like he'll be handling vinyl this time too. For UK folks who love the DIY aesthetic, keep an eye on this. www.acdsleeve.com

This album by @3six.bsky.social on @quietdetails.bsky.social is hauntingly beautiful. quietdetails.bandcamp.com/album/a-warm...

Now that my new LP has been out in the wilds for almost 2 weeks, I just wanted to thank everyone who picked up a copy. It has quickly become one of the best-selling I've put out, which of course, makes me very happy, especially since expendable income is a luxury for most right now.

36 Q&A today - background and in the studio Big thanks again for the support for 36’s @3six.bsky.social album - been a great week and very nearly sold out of CDs - very grateful to all of you that bought the album Last day of half-price digital and two CDs left 🧵 #3six #quietdetails #bandcamp

Thanks so much for the support for @3six.bsky.social ‘s album - connected with so many of you, and been amazing to meet loads of new people that are such loyal fans of his music. Two more days of half-price digital and CD stocks getting low - if you want one they are still available at the moment.

Today I have mostly been listening to ambient, reverby synths

Copies of my new album, going out to the wider world. Alex from Quiet Details does NOT mess around. Orders arriving this morning, out there by the afternoon. Massive thank you to everyone for your support with this release. quietdetails.bandcamp.com/album/a-warm-static-sphere

This is gorgeous. Really good example of how well-crafted ambient can draw you in to notice hidden details.

Massive first post run out the door - huge thanks for all the love for @3six.bsky.social ‘s stunning album! Flying out friends so don’t sleep if you want #3six #quietdetails #ambient #synth #music #musicsky

Classic stuff from @3six.bsky.social here and strong recommend. What Loscil refers to as "super true to the genre" in The Making of Grief Point. Ambience as analog/digital sound world and a study of synthesis and movement. Will be stuck to the Sonos for this winter.

qd42 - 36 - A Warm Static Sphere - out now! Delighted to say that next in the quiet details series is one of the most loved artists in modern ambient music, Dennis Huddleston, here as 36 @3six.bsky.social Out now on digital and limited CD Digital half price until 21st November #musicsky

I'm delighted to announce that the new 36 album 'A Warm Static Sphere' is due for release on Wednesday 12th November via @quietdetails.bsky.social CD + Digital. A real pleasure to be featured on such a wonderful label, which has featured many friends of mine over the last couple of years.

New 36 album next week, friends.

New interview with @ambientdroner.bsky.social and myself for Headphone Commute, focused on the Stasis Sounds series. We talk about inspirations, production processes, how the series concept came about, and much more. Give it a read at headphonecommute.com/2025/07/25/i...

First Bandcamp asks for personal details/id for payments, and now Bluesky is going to be asking for personal id/payment details just to view "adult" tweets. Whole internet is a mess. Oh how I miss the 90s/00s. it was so much more fun. Anyway, doubt I'll use this account much longer.

The new 36 LP is finished. It started life as a record I made to sleep to, then, after about 5 revisions, it morphed into an ultra-expansive, melodic, cyberpunk-inspired arpeggio brain melter. It happens, sometimes. Gonna dedicate next week to mixing it down, then it's a wrap.

One final trip into the great void with @ambientdroner.bsky.social pitp.bandcamp.com/album/stasis...

Oh yes @3six.bsky.social @ambientdroner.bsky.social @pastinside.bsky.social

I'm not worried about AI making tunes that sound like me. AI can only ever copy surface-level aesthetics. My life, experiences, and personality are what define my "sound". Music is a reflection of the artist, uniquely transposed to the listener. Cloning specific sounds won't make another me. Or you.

A few listeners of mine have showed me pictures of their 36 logo tattoo's, which I am of course honoured to see. However, please exercise caution if they're openly visible while on US soil, to avoid possible detainment and extraordinary rendition.

Happy 50th birthday, old friend.

Your outie enjoys the sound of sustained chords, with subtle timbrel variations, and generous amounts of reverb.

1994 was THE year for ambient music, but loads of great tunes were hidden in the shadows of more prolific albums like SAWII, Lifeforms etc... Case in point is this gorgeous track: youtu.be/Y7E977xJu4M?...

AI/ML programmers just need to adapt to the new reality, and learn new skills. If a machine can do their job faster and cheaper, then the market is just re-balancing itself. No point crying about it. Just learn a new trade, bro.

3six.bandcamp.com/merch A restock of some previously OOP vinyl, plus a signed/numbered test press of Exit All The Lights now on my Bandcamp page.

Only just read the very sad news that Lee Purkis AKA In Sync died in 2023, made especially tragic by the circumstances of his death. A UK legend. Storm is his most well known tune, but he made loads of great trax, inc a killer 12" under his WBE alias. RIP. hardwax.com/56648/wbe/th...

Exit All The Lights vinyl test press approved. One of the cleanest presses I've released, which is exceptional considering each side is over 20 minutes in length. Final press on track for the end of January. Until then, I wish you all a lovely, peaceful Christmas.

Don't forget to bless your postal worker this Christmas for all that they do 📮

AI is cool, but have you ever tried putting your heart on the line, working alongside other creative human beings, making something truly unique to our own lived experiences, while forging lifelong bonds in the process, all while potentially changing a listeners' life forever?

My end of year best-of list is the same as every other year. There isn't one. Attaching numbers, alongside arbitrary rankings of art, mean absolutely nothing to me. I'm happy with the work I made, in a challenging year. Hopefully, my fellow creatives/friends are also very proud of their hard work 👍

#albumsof2024 Trance Anthems for a Sunken Generation by 36, a complete departure from the normal @3six.bsky.social sound but something he's been working towards for a while, his warm, tender soundscapes replaced with dystopian, fractured, deconstructed synths 3six.bandcamp.com/album/trance...

My humble offering for this Bandcamp Friday. It's a couple of weeks old now, but time is irrelevant when it comes to enjoying music. Down to the last few vinyl copies. Shipping should be mid-Jan. Thank you for your kind support, as always. 3six.bandcamp.com/album/exit-a...

Moving 10 years of VSTs, custom presets, workflows and overall studio hoarding to a new computer is the 10th circle of hell.

36 - Exit All The Lights is now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all other major streaming platforms. open.spotify.com/album/41rPgi...

Wonderful feedback on my new record. Always a pleasure for me to read how music connects people together, all over the world. Thank you.

Today is the day! I'm honoured to share my new album with you all, which is now available digitally. My adventure into the world of raved up ambient pop, with vocals performed by the wonderful Yassie G. Vinyl version coming early next year, for the heads.

Hello, friends. New album out tomorrow. Listening party tonight! Let's float together. 3six.bandcamp.com/merch/36-exi...
