This is my favourite documentary on jungle music—All Junglists: A London Something Dis (1994).
Few interesting glimpses at gear in a studio setting if you're into rack samplers and yesteryear computers. British electronic music scene has always been cool.

I'm working with my buddy, Tao (Psychoclast Software), on a game called Manta—an action sci-fi "flight-swim" with elements of stealth and RTS.
I wear several hats for Manta—the primary one is composing and performing the feature-length interactive musical score.

In my headcanon, billionaires' brains have some very strange paths burned into them over time. I think having that much power & that many resources is an unnatural state, and that the brain has to twist itself into contortions to prevent madness.
(This produces another kind of madness, of course.)

My buddy @broken-birds.bsky.social (Mark Redhead) is here at last. He's a fellow maker of music—known him about fourteen years through @wheatus.com—give him a big warm welcome. He's one of the funniest dudes I know, and his accent is amazing (Geordie).

Got some real feelings about mutuals that are still paying for blue ticks on X/Twitter who aren't prominent public figures, and don't have a management team handling their social media.
Why? Do better.
Went on X—saw Elon Musk being openly sexist, transphobic, using the term "Pedosky" and more.
