First sketch exploring the #eventide H90 glitch algorithms. Absolutely amazing potential for sounds there. #glitchguitar. youtu.be/HoqPkLMyUJk?...

Shifting Simulacra The final piece in the song cycle for the next album. And it is the debut of recording with my new fretless baritone guitar.

The final piece for the next album. A sprawling psychedelic neo-classical progression featuring the recording debut of my new fretless baritone guitar in places. Now I just have to head to the studio with a drummer and some horns… on.soundcloud.com/MUO4I3XvAtLL...

Gutted to hear about #CatherineO’Hara. Truly one of the greatest comic actors of all time. From the Christopher Guest ensemble casts to Schitt’s Creek, she has given the world endless laughs. RIP!

There have been a lot of people warning about fascist underbelly of the supposed center-right parties in western democracies for 40-50 years. Now that it’s pretty clear we were correct all along, I want to know what those on the center left who called us lunatics are going to do about it.

The lack of recognition by European governments that the US is a terrorist state, and most definitely not an ally, is astounding. The EU doesn’t need the US. It has stronger economic fundamentals and can replace anything it currently gets from them elsewhere, or through homegrown investment.

If that isn't a rallying call for every EU country to start the below steps, they are asleep at the wheel.

1) Expedite energy transition to renewables

2) Begin transition away from reliance on US tech giants & build up local capacity

3) Regulate the free reign of influence of US social media

The EU should be imposing immediate sanctions on a rogue nation that just shredded any semblance of international law, not politely monitoring the situation.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

If we had to hear β€œBaby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?

And rightfully so.

So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is β€œFrosty the Snowman”?

The latest sketch for the upcoming album. It’s a full on prog piece in 9/8 with a cross-picked Frippish line as the central progression. As always, every note is played on a guitar. on.soundcloud.com/7PNeBuqCXjpf...

Having grown up in South Bend, I can testify that anything 20 miles south of the border with Michigan is absolutely culturally aligned with the South.

Was your housing provided as a benefit? If so, then again, what’s the issue? You’re already in the top 5% of income at that point. You should also maybe have had a conversation with your accountant, because unless you were being housed in some luxury villa, that is not remotely possible.

It’s currently $126,500 for a person filing single, and it goes up every year. That’s not an undue burden of taxation. The bigger issue living abroad is capital gains taxes, which must be paid regardless. I am and expat living in the UK, so have to keep abreast of this every year.

The funny thing about the #AngelaRayner affair is that she’s actually a much bigger hypocrite for supporting Starmer than she is for getting some dodgy tax advice. Yet she is criticized only for the latter.

Thanks. Hope you enjoy. I’m almost done working on a new release for this fall that goes a bit in a neo-classical direction blended with psychedelic jazz.
