Thank you for the kind review of our The Beating Birch album!

There's a word limit to posts here so I'll quote a few bits:
'songs' 'listening' 'something' 'weirder stuff' 'Recommended'.

You'll have to click the link to fill in the gaps yourself.

This is so good! I'm going to test this method in making some capacitive touch sensors for the SPOKE board. Brilliant work!

Eurovision 2026: Electronic artist and YouTuber Look Mum No Computer to represent UK in Vienna The synth artist and Eurovision fan says he finds it "completely bonkers" to be representing the UK.

My mate Sam has been picked as the UK entry to Eurovision which is one of the best bits of news in the past few years. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I forgot I also needed to get myself a PocketBeagle2 so now need to wait until that one arrives too! It's a very sleek looking board though, feels weighty and high quality.

Can't wait to use roughly 10% of it's potential!

I got to explain what CEEFAX was to a young one today and it's easy to forget how far ahead that was. We had interactive TV in 1974 with the latest news and weather and sports results. I vaguely remember it having games? Or was it jokes/quizzes?

I am also curious as to who is reviewing albums nowadays as its been so long since I released anything worthwhile that I'm very out of the loop. thebeatingbirch.bandcamp.com/album/kora-h...

OOOOOOOOOoooooo, core memory just unlocked. I recognise this fella and that diamond that I thought was a shredded wheat.

Spoke is a GREAT midi/touch controller that I'm so glad I backed on KS. Looks cute too and great packaging (I know it's a small thing, but who doesn't love good packaging?)

Kickstarter pledges for my spoke board are now out in the wild and its both very very exciting and also a bit nerve wracking.

You should do a podcast.

It took us 5 years or so, but we finally finished and are releasing our The Beating Birch debut album.

It's the start of a story about Hope.

Yeah, Reaktor and Kontakt which are NI plugins are very widely used and are incredible. Hopefully they can be bought up by people who can keep them going. I too am a cheapskate, but I do purchase the ones worth purchasing!

This is pretty big news in thr musicy tech world!

I did some sound design on an animation for my brother for his vision of The Maxx! One of my absolute favourite comics from the 90s.

Kitbash it into a mech.

Nice!

I've also found there's a section of electronics engineers who try to do things the old fashioned way and avoid using microcontrollers altogether. That if it's not done the hard way then it's not been done right. I put up the 'schematic' for SPOKE on my site. It's literally just one resistor.

Perhaps it should be essential for every MP to pass the test so they can actually understand what on earth they're going on about.
Not to mention you need to live here for 5 years before you can even apply for ILR...

The discussion in the UK about Indefinite Leave to Remain is infuriating. It's not easy to get ILR. It's not cheap either. The test for it is difficult too. I made all my colleagues take the test when my wife applied, including an ex-army veteran who was a member of the royal guard, we all failed.

Currently running all my unfinished compositions from the past 4 years through @timexile.com Finalist in order to actually FINISH AND RELEASE songs that have been dormant because I haven't had time to do the last steps. Thank you TIm and team for such a great product!

Autism was first described in 1942. Paracetemol was first released in 1950, (1956 in UK). Tylenol not until 1955.
