I have no presence on here so this may be pointless but I thought I would do some “liner notes” for “A few distractions”.

Hit 25K streams all-time earlier this month. That was kinda nice.

fine in mp3 and flac so why would wav be any different?
mind you this is the same distributor that allowed me to upload a png for the cover and then showed an error I couldn't change for distribution because it wasn't a jpeg...

Professeur Whom @professeurwhom.bsky.social · 1d

aaarrrghhh
Very annoyed with a distributor, they managed to distribute a blank audio track (not deliberate) and now I have to issue a takedown and start all over again.
At least it's on my Bandcamp so people can find it there!
Mind you I probably should have checked the file too but it was exported

Most of my IRL friends aren't on here and I didn't know if I would end up making any mutuals with cool strangers.

Shout out to @etherdiver.bsky.social & @mmemaledicta.bsky.social for sharing cool music, and seeming to be all around decent people.

Listening to Anthrax and reflecting on how people who insist metal has to have harsh vocals are missing out on sooooo much good metal.

Support new music: Artists aren't making anything from streaming platforms these days (payouts on even the best are less than a cent per stream), so the best thing you can do is this:

If you hear a track you love, buy & DL it!

The power of Tom Waits’s Rain Dogs is so strong that even though I have Down By Law playing in my Very Slow Movie Player (it will take 16 days to play) the still images of the intro shots have imbedded this as an #earworm

It’s Friday and this is all still true!

The world out there is still scary.
I prescribe listening to music that is both scary and relaxing.
Completely coincidentally I have an ambient ish album with those characteristics:

Got new releases coming up on or after 17th October, email [email protected] with your release details, track title, artwork, etc. Music should be in MP3 format for space reasons.

I aim to include 1 or 2 tracks a week, so first come, first served.

and people have had joy from what I’ve done. (My day job so far away from those things!)

Hobbyist =/= not a X (where X=competent or even expert in a field)
In magic much of the most brilliant card magic came from “hobbyists”. Music is paid so poorly that most musicians are effectively “hobbyists”.
I have been paid for my magic, I have been paid for my music. I’m still a hobbyist

It probably doesn't help that I can also (confidently) call myself a computational biologist, with the CV to prove it (like my discography isn't a CV). How can I possibly be something else at the same time? How can I ever be more than a mere "hobbyist" in my mind?

If it’s broken enough to think I’m running an ad blocker when I’m not I don’t trust that it is properly coded!

And some experimental industrial noise punk (and some future pop? From @missingtogether.cam)
