I love stuff like this, browsers are so much more capable than people realise!

New show! I'll be supporting Richard Anthony Bean in Wedmore in Somerset on 6th March. It'll be a great evening of electronic music, hope to see you there!

I'm excited to announce at I'm now taking on clients for mastering #IfYouAintRedliningYouAintHeadlining

I also recently released a small tribute to the music of Vangelis. It's exclusive to my Bandcamp and all proceeds are going to the Trussell Trust so please do check it out! cephid.bandcamp.com

Hello, flurry of new followers! I make progressive electronic music and play live with a laser harp. You may also remember me from playing keys with such acts as @thatjoepayne.bsky.social, Godsticks, Crimson Sky and Ghost Community.

Happy birthday to every horse!

Celebrating the new year by playing Terry Riley at the cats

Vale 2025! It's been a year...

These ill-informed comparisons have been made for decades. I dread to think the economic damage that has been done because politicians consistently go for easy soundbites like "we've maxed out the country's credit card" or "there's no magic money tree" instead of having real, adult conversations.

It's got to that stage of Christmas where the only thing in the fridge is 70 cocktail sausages. I will surely not regret eating 70 cocktail sausages for lunch.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot today. Evil, greed and selfishness are the lazy options. They require nothing more than base human appetites. Goodness, communality and civility require far more effort and generosity of spirit. There’s just more work involved.

Wish you were here?

If Fred Astaire can encounter someone who doesn't use binary pronouns and then immediately respects that *IN 1935* then you can too.

Working on a Cephid-shaped Christmas present...

If you film an entire song at a gig I will sing as loudly and as badly as I can, as I close to you as I can

Absolutely ridiculous lineup tonight 🛸

As the trans community have known for a while now - the definition of activist is someone who dares to state they exist

You come for Matthew Lillard, you come for all of us.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

How're you doing? Nice day today isn't it.

I think I've forgotten how to microblog.

Once again I'm watching Traitors and yelling "THIS IS HOW FASCISM HAPPENS" at the screen.

Someone persuade me not to.

LNER on a Wednesday: thirsty? We've got an offer on tinnies! Knock yourself out! LNER on a Friday: if we catch you with a drink out of your bag we'll throw you off the train.

Done a lot of live music over the last few days. Can confirm that it still rules. (pictured: Clare Teal giving a joyous performance tonight in a field near Trowbridge)

The contrast in reporting these stories is nuts, right? It's not just me?

peacefully protesting Gaza or climate change: fuck you, go to jail threatening to burn down hotels because there might be a foreign person temporarily housed there: hey guys, we hear you 😔 it's morally bankrupt, but on the other hand it's also politically suicidal so needs must I guess

Most racist government of my lifetime. More racist than May & Patel. They were merely the warm-up routine

Someone called country music “farm emo” and I’ll never be able to unsee that

i think both sides are to blame here

Oh look, another government policy turns out to just be transphobia! Whoever would have guessed?

Found an attack helicopter that identifies as cringe.

Everyone is celebrating him for his (obviously wonderful) songs but I am also celebrating him for releasing all his works into the public domain and insisting he retained no copyrights over any of it.

Tom Lehrer, who just died at age 97, outlived his New York Times obituary writer.

"If after hearing my songs just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend or perhaps to strike a loved one it will all have been worth the while." RIP to a true musical hero. youtu.be/yhuMLpdnOjY?...

Been playing with this pack this afternoon, it's a LOT of fun! Plenty of warbly and crunchy goodness.

My husband Moray aka @cephid.world is looking for new opportunities—he’s a consulting developer who specialises in web architecture, app development, & helping startups. He’s smart, calm, collaborative & works especially well with women-led teams. More at moray.dev DM me if you’d like an intro.

Hey everyone! To celebrate the fact it’s Bandcamp Friday today, and because it was my birthday on Wednesday, you can get 20% off everything in the Cephid Bandcamp store with the code “birthday”. Be quick though as the code expires at midnight tonight! cephid.bandcamp.com

New live appeance! I'll be performing a short set (with the laser harp) for We All Play Synth at The Love Inn Bristol, a week today on Tuesday 8th April. It's going to be a great night of synth music and I hope to see you there! #emom #weallplaysynth #laserharp #livemusic #electronicmusic

If you're in desperate need of some cover art and unable to pay someone for it, close the Bluesky app, open your camera app and go outside to take some photos. They're guaranteed to be more interesting than 12-meter-trench-dug-into-the-depths-of-the-uncanny-valley AI-generated slop.

I'm sure nobody could EVER have predicted that. Ever.

Post your favourite Doctor Who. Wrong answers only

Let's debunk this whole "space is hard" mantra. Looking at all NASA-led missions launched since 2000, only 4 out of ~60 missions experienced total failures. Two of these were due to issues with the commercial launch vehicle, & two were spacecraft issues. That is a *93% success rate.* (1/n)

It's #BandcampFriday! If you like your electronica melody-led, prog-rock-influenced, with (mostly) real drums and with a surprising amount of modal mixture, you know what to do! cephid.bandcamp.com

Out in Bristol for We All Play Synth - Bristol's #EMOM. Such a great mix of acts and so nice to see such a big crowd!

I'm supporting @cephid.world in #Bath tomorrow! 🎤🎹🎶🛁🎭 @rondotheatre.bsky.social NEARLY SOLD OUT - only a dozen or so tickets left!!! xXx www.ticketsource.co.uk/rondotheatre...
