Oooooooh, we've got this notion that we're going to sail the ocean 🎶

Sounds lush. Bang up my street

Amen

tbf I think a tour would be well recieved given that they haven't played live since the 90s. Count myself very lucky to have seen them a few times, don't think it'll happen again unless they have a sudden need for a shitload of money.

I suspect box set though.

Calling it now: Boards of Canada Funko Pops.

You'll know it's our generations turn when they start installing subs.

really looking forward to this. Went down a bit of a back catalogue rabbit hole recently. Love your work.

confidently dim in the way that only Oxbridge PPE graduates can be. A lifetime of being told what a clever little sausage they are.

Thank you!!

only thing I'd say is that it futureproofs you a bit. ps6 unlikely to be forthcoming any time soon with these current supply and cost issues so it'd tide you over for a while.

I'm always a late adopter though, only bought my ps5 last year.

I was tempted with the incoming price increase, but tbh, I'm so happy with streaming to the portal I can't be arsed. Game's a game really.

Amazing, Thanks mate. This is why we <3 indie developers.

Nothing else is worth the time and money I put into it, and I want to go to my grave knowing that everything I created in whatever length of life I end up having was made by me, a musician, across a lifelong journey of learning, expression and exploration.

Fuck any other reason to make art.

But as a musician, and in the face of this kind of pivot around how the music (let’s face it, content) of the future is to be made and consumed by most people….literally all I want to do is make music I love, myself, with my own skills, limits, taste, creative decisions, barriers and expression.

..and it will be absolutely fine for people not to like it, or to think that it’s safe or boring or talentless or really anything at all you want to feel. because all art is 100% subjective and that’s fine.

Someone just sent me the latest demo of Sora 5.5 and I watched it. It's a technical achievement.

But it underlines EXACTLY why I have played every single note of my new album and produced every single bar of it entirely by myself, even if it limits what I can do.

oh interesting! Thanks so much for looking into it. it's super trivial, but I've become so used to using pencil now that it was a bit weird when it suddenly didn't work that way!

it's a super trival thing, but I noticed today that it no longer works with Apple Pencil - thought I was going nuts initially with all the controls snapping back once you lift the pencil off. No biggy, but I really like using pencil as my interface.

And they learn absolutely nothing.

I guess that would make them "idea exploiters".

Omg. Literally my dad's first CD player.

What the fuck do they think we've been doing for the last 30 years?

Living in the Future, by Neurodriver 10 track album

oh man...Tripping the Light Fantastic was my "getting ready to go out" tune for years. what an album.

For something more recent but very much in that style, this really hit the spot for me:

neurodriver.bandcamp.com/album/living...

A nocturnal reimagining of Erland Cooper's Music For Growing Flowers; a sleep variation of Jessie Marcella's latest double single, Quartz; Luke Howard's piano improvisations, Galileo; and a selection of wonderful Sophie Hutchings reworks by @digitonal.bsky.social 💤💤💤

Sophie Hutchings - become the sky (for sleep) Digitonal rework cover art

Today is #worldsleepday and for the last couple of months I've been reworking some music by Australian pianist Sophie Hutchings into a blissed out ambient landscape for sleep which has been released through @mercurykx.bsky.social today.

Listen here:

Something new and ambient for world sleep day coming this Friday.

The second they implement algorithmic sorting and suggested posts I'm out.

If you're stuck for track titles you could do worse than Crufts show names.

Making Waves 2, by Radio Waters 12 track album

Putting aside a solid couple of hours to go through everybody's #bandcampfriday new releases and recommends.

I've got a remix of the amazing Dadhaus in my Alphabox guise on this cracking new compilation in aid of @radiowaters.bsky.social today though.
