Here’s something new (and old): I’ve finally uploaded Deep Time, the song-in-a-day I made with The Drum Tamer, John Simm, (who drummed on & mixed my EP 'Psithurism' and also hit things on 'Hiss of Today').

Here's the lovely review that the kind folks at Prog printed of 'Hiss of Today' in their April issue. Honestly, I thought that this record ushered in my sort of Phil Collins 'No Jacket Required' era, but I guess not?

IT'S BANDCAMP FRIDAY (Bandcat Friday?). If you're thinking of grabbing it digitally or physically, today Bandcamp waives its revenue share—100% goes to artists/labels for 24 hours. Enjoy my orange cat. He has no idea what's going on.

I've owned a bass for 2 days, and now all I can hear when I listen to music is the basslines.
Musician friends, what basslines should I learn as I try to level up playing without a plectrum?

Last Saturday was a beautiful, soothing, magical experience. Hearing Alora Crucible play their music & the music of @tobydriver.bsky.social was transcendent.
We'll see Toby Driver & Timba Harris again in June, as part of post-punk prog outfit Extra Life:

I'm hosting a Bandcamp Party listen-through of 'Hiss of Today' next week on 17th April. Expect numerous references to the 48k spectrum version of 'Heavy on the Magick', the forgotten Thelema-adjacent adventure game that I encountered as a child.

Thank you to Prog magazine for the luminous review of 'Hiss of Today'. Given that the physical version has only just hit the shelves, I have devised a creative solution for redacting the majority of the content. Buy the magazine for the non-orange-cat version.
