I’ve been so busy on other projects over the last 5-6 weeks that music has had to take a back seat. But amongst all the turmoil I have made time in the mornings to program simple self generating patches on my Buchla synthesizer, that bubble away in the background throughout the day. Occasionally I will lean over and change a setting, and sometimes I will get more involved, until work pulls me away again. I’ve recorded some extracts of these and have been listening back to them on my daily walks along the beach. There is something soothing in their simplicity. I’ve enjoyed sharing my space with them, whether in my studio (where I seem to spend far too much time at the moment) or in my head via headphones. I thought other people might also enjoy these gentle minimal soundscapes, so I’ve made the first of them available on my Bandcamp, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Chestnut Tree House charity. You can listen and buy here. I’ll probably make a new one available every week.
Thanks to Stanley James Press for the cool design.
