Very nice. One of my EHX loopers allows loops to degrade slowly to allow Brian Eno (Discreet Music) type iterative layering. Is there an EHX Pog in your setup anywhere?

Not sure what logic has to do with it all… but there will be a steady long term social effect of digital mistrust coupled with a need for authenticity that (ironically) will make it harder for future politicians to hide behind AI slop.

You need to go for a healthy walk at exactly 3.30pm every day. Preferably holding a Spanish stick.

Good… good. Have you tried Nick Harkaway? His son? Also very impressive. Angelmaker is well worth your time. If a little bonkers. Titanium Noir is excellent sci-fi. Karla’s choice if you want his father resurrected faithfully
