Something and Nothing.
I am currently having a bit of a quandary. I have a few days off and I was planning to go to a music shop in nearby Leeds to have a play with some synths. The trouble is that does not really play well with my mental health. I love synths and making music, but……

A Suitably Pompous Name
Sorry that I have not posted in a while. I have not been feeling that well, work is very stressful and I am suffering from anxiety and depression. It is not that I don’t want to make things, it is more that I can’t right now. The other weekend I decided to make some ambient…
