My new Slipdrive release, Synthetic planets will be out on November 12th. I made a video for the track Spaceship Construction Yard from it. It's sellotaped stock footage but I'm shit at video, so there we go. youtu.be/hX8xV8jc68E

A Canticle for Liebowitz is weird. The first story read to me like a pythonesqe parody of the old Catholic Church, but apparently it's not. The second part feels like a parody of the modern Catholic Church, but apparently it isn't. I guess I'll see what the third part holds.

Finished The Chimes of Midnight. It was excellent. I think adding the visual aspect to it really gave the story an extra depth and dimension.

The song, "Dancing in the dark", is completely unrealistic. At no point do you hear someone shouting, "OW!", Followed by, "sorry mate".

Well, Jubilee was excellent, so let's see how The Chimes of Midnight fares. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without it.

I'm about half way through, it's a great adaptation and seems even darker in book form.

First Blood is still a great movie if anyone was wondering

Sell Crypto, Buy Eggs.

It's a real shsme there isn't a burger place in Liverpool called Burgenhead

I saw someone describing ICE agents as Gravy Seals today and it makes me smile whenever I think about it.

I still don't get people who are scared of retirement because they'd be bored. Like, "Oh noes, I can't think of anything to do. I wish I was still working at the cardboard box company". I could have four lifetimes and still not have enough time for all the things I want to do.

The first episode and intro episode are live NOW at nimonambient.podbean.com It's also on apple podcasts and amazon. It'll hopefully be live on other platforms by the close of play today (but might not be)

A new podcast where I talk to other musicians about the act of creating music. The first episode has @causticmf.bsky.social as guest and comes out on August 1st.

I'm releasing this a couple of days early on Bandcamp. It's the 40th Anniversary of the Amiga on the 23rd, and I made an EP with 4 tracks of brand new Amiga themed tunes and covers of the theme tunes to Speedball and R-Type. keefbaker.bandcamp.com/album/a-40

There ain't no party like a tupperware party.

All over the news is the fact that Microsoft have canned a bunch of studios and made a bunch of layoffs. Something they literally didn't need to do because they made $88 billion profit last year. Absolute wanker move by Microsoft there. Big surprise, I guess.

Because of the whole AI warfare startup funding thing, I've nuked my Spotify account and switched to Qobuz. So far it seems better anyway. Nothing was lost.

The preorder for the new album is live. keefbaker.bandcamp.com/album/gfx The official release date is August 1st but I'll be releasing it a couple of weeks earlier on Bandcamp.

So what's the state of crypto like?

Got next week off. I have plans. Probably none of them will happen. Standard.

I'd probably still manage to fill it full of shit.

As anyone who knows me knows, I am terrible at promotion. I'm not sure that'll ever change, but I know my new album deserves a chance to get into people's ears when it comes out. I'm really pleased with it. I just hope people give it one.

Sometimes there really is nothing better than a really good cheese.

I love playing Ubisoft games, it allows me to indulge in my favourite pastime of following an NPC that walks too fast for player walking speed but too slow for run speed while they spout exposition for ages until you get to your destination that really didn't need to be as far away as all that.

Here we go then. Out August 1st, assuming my ADHD ass doesn't jump the gun

final.final.final.psd I think this is it.

Thinking this is the cover for my next album. Thoughts?

New X Men idea. Every time someone says Jean Gray's name someone else says, "psss" to turn it into Jean Grapes. This happens all the way through the movie until she gets so angry she mindblasts someone to the point of not being able to feed themselves.

Rare political post: If you consider yourself part of the resistance and all you do is post stuff on social media to mostly like minded people anyway, you're doing fuck all. IMO one of the most dangerous things about social media is the feeling of contributing by posting. Go out and do stuff!

Tenner says the new pope is an old white man.

Doctor Who yesterday was absolutely brilliant and was perfectly timed after those unfortunate Reform UK wins.

No stream tonight.. My left ear is acting weird and I don't want to risk it.

You know if Trump keeps going through generations of immigrants and deporting them, he's eventually going to kick all the white people out.

Finished the next Keef Baker album. It's in the masterers hands now.

Live in FIVE MINUTES!!!!! www.twitch.tv/keefbaker

If you follow me and I look and your feed is nothing but political stuff, please don't be offended if I don't follow you back. I agree with you and am a total lefty, but I am SO... TIRED...

Streaming in 45 minutes. Yoooooo

I'll be streaming as usual tomorrow. I won't have a plugin theme or anything, I'll just make a new track.

O B L I V I O N. R E M A S T E R E D. OK I have a theory. This was planned to come out March 20th next year for the 20th anniversary, but it was in a releasable state and Bethesda desperately needed some brownie points after Starfield and all the free to play shit.

Been feeling the phrase, "what would future me be happy I did today", recently.

A gentle bit of something for you www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGYO...

Forgot to put a post up. I didn't do a stream yesterday because I had to actually go out and play on a piece of wood with strings on it.

Next week it's back to work, but until then..... FUN FOR ME!

I did a video about how I don't see mixing as a separate process to composition and why youtu.be/mS4uixZ58Fc

Unlike a lot of people mixing is not a separate process to me, I'm planning to make a video about it, and how separating those processes doesn't work for me.

I think on next stream I won't do a plugin focus. I am making this hard for myself.

Stream ended up OK, Even recorded some live bass and guitar. It started very badly, however, so most people dropped. LOL. I thought the Korg Legacy collection would be an easy focus, but I didn't really get on with the plugins at all. youtu.be/32aA1Jnyhtk

STREAMING IN A FEW MINUTES!!! SEE MY LOVELY FACE ON THE HOUR!!!! www.twitch.tv/keefbaker

As always on a Thursday I'll be streaming at 8PM UK time (3pm EST). Which means if you're on the West Coast you can spend your lunchtime with me. I'll be fiddling about with the Korg Legacy collection tonight. www.twitch.tv/keefbaker

Ok, here's over 80 mins of ambient music for you. Some of these are even new... keefbaker.bandcamp.com/album/archae...
