... and new Patreon track going up midweek. 🌸🦊💋

'What did you do with your weekend Cate?' I spent it in Xcode making an experimental hellscape app called Rover.

Feeling slightly surreal after being down an Xcode rabbit hole literally all day. ✨

It's Bandcamp Friday, so a very good day to pick up some weekend treats from catebrooksmusic.bandcamp.com 🦊

Conet Project at home if you want. 💖

"I get out of bed, at half past ten..." 🦊

Jan & Feb are often on the lean side, shall we say, until the lottery of the quarterly / half-yearly royalties arrives like spring in March & April, so here’s a quick Bandcamp plug in case you need material for that new tape deck you got in the January sales drrubberfunk.bandcamp.com/album/ectopi...

Patreon is very positive so far. It's early days, but already a learning process. www.patreon.com/posts/direct...

Europeans! Just noticed that HHV in Germany have a few Clay Pipe LPs that are sold out elsewhere, including: @catebrooksmusic.bsky.social Lofoten, David Boulters Whitby and @gardengate.bsky.social Magic Lantern. www.hhv.de/en/records/c...

... and a plug for my burgeoning Patreon. Very early days, but so far a good feeling about it. patreon.com/catebrooksmusic

Little photo from last night. My quiet obsession with space continues.

I'm much happier when moving things away from social media. Chasing an algorithm doesn't interest me.

Good to see some familiar faces over on my Patreon- thanks so much for the support. 💖

Actually, 29 years; my bad! But, here's an idea- a Juno 106 ep released today, next year, to mark the 30th. 💖

Fave xmas gift.

Today marks 30 years together with this beautiful instrument. All stages of my life, got me through college, then university, then onto every record I've made. Still current and still cherished as much as the day I got it. 💖🥹

See you on the other side, at some point in '26. 🥂

Thank you! 🥹💖🥂

Still remember buying this from a shop called Lowestoft Electrical. 1993.

R.I.P. Ken Downie and thank you for the music. open.spotify.com/track/4KM1dV...

So proud of my smallest cat; she's made it to the final of Britain's Sweariest Cat. If she wins (and it's looking likely, tbh), she'll be in the running for Britain's Sweariest Small Domestic Animal, which will be an absolute honour, especially for her moms. 😍

Pistachio & gold leaf.

Lumon Binaural Microphone.

Always experiments.

An incredibly good year for music, honestly so many good releases. My list could easily be three times as long.

🥹💖✨✨✨

It's the last Bandcamp Friday of '25. Independent artists really appreciate your support. 🙏🏻💖 catebrooksmusic.bandcamp.com

I was made for winter. As soon as the temperature dips, my default is furry hats, gloves and big shades and it all really brings the seasonal joy.

Inspiration for the graphic design of The Blanket Tapes. I still don't get why so many industrial graphic designers remain unnamed and uncredited.

Weekend treats available 💖 at catebrooksmusic.bandcamp.com

Gut a Samson C02 and make your own ultrasound mic at home if you want.

For those who managed to snag one of the tapes; those will in the mail after the weekend. ✨✨✨ I've had some lovely comments about the artwork too- absolutely true that my favourite cassette design of all time is the BASF.

Busy evening yesterday! Thanks to all who showed up for the Blanket Tapes listening party- I really enjoyed answering questions and chatting about the project. It's a fantastic way of connecting. 💖 cafekaput.bandcamp.com

Ultra-limited edition of 10 hand-recorded, signed and numbered Blanket Tapes cassettes. Up now on catebrooksmusic.bandcamp.com

Many thank yous to those who have supported my new album so far- been getting some lovely feedback; I'm really glad it's finding homes. catebrooksmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-bl...

Progress.
