For anyone new to my stuff finding me on Bluesky, I'm Josh. I've been making/releasing music for around 30 years under my main solo project, Fornever. Also have an experimental project called Premature Burial and a band called Black Wedding. Here's a 2009 Fornever favorite:

And my first song release of the year is… A song built completely from pitch-shifted and processed ambient room noise and HVAC noise from my project Premature Burial on an experimental compilation that’s a tongue-in-cheek take on Now That’s What I Call Music.

Just updated my Zoom to version 6.6.6. Now, my video screen has blood running down it, and the muffled agonized screams in the audio channel are drowning out the participants. Tech help anyone?

I have a weirdly large catalog of original holiday songs for an indie rocker with goth leanings thanks to releasing free holiday singles for about a decade starting in 1999 & a handful of comps and EPs on Silber Records. But this might be a personal fav: youtu.be/W58EDxG-m90

I know they're not going to do it, but how amazing would it be if they ended #ReturnToSilentHill with the dog ending?

Probably not the compilation update you (or I) were hoping for, but got the word that all 3 pending compilations with my tracks (2 Fornever and 1 Premature Burial) have been pushed back to next year due to label delays.

Exactly two years ago, an album came out under my instrumental experimental project, Premature Burial, that I consider one of my best both artistically and sonically. Chronic tackles themes related to living with chronic illness. Give it a listen!

Finished Silent Hill f last night, and it's kind of cool how I had no idea what was going on through most of the game, but now, after the ending, I'm still having revelations where everything from the events and characters to the game structure make sense and have deep symbolism.
