"Nige? Oh, he's that weird kid who likes music more than sport or super heroes"

I'm a composer and recording artist and... mostly an alright kinda geeza 😊 Primary 'playing' instrument is guitar (since a previous century) but I play enough keys, drums and bass to write for them.

Links to my 'stuff of wonder' in the jolly old 'About' tab. Please feel free to rummage with gusto. I don't like genres so will leave that right there.

I'm a he, him ... so far.

40 years ago I mixed/produced an album for a great (semi local) band. Somehow the analog master cannot be found (it was never with me) but at last an archive copy has surfaced in an early digital format (on video cassette) called Sony PCM-F1. Hurrah!
I will remaster and re-release it. But... the album was archived onto it with hardly any leader tape and the first minute or so has some bad digital drop out/artefacts. So I now have serious restoration to do. New territory! #audio #restoration

What's to be done. I don't know. All my life they've been dragging me and everyone else down. The broken wheel on the cart of humanity.

Will they evolve away eventually?
If not then... what?

Been twiddling about with mixing the Lydian and Dorian modes and getting my ear and fingerings locked into it. Another way to describe it would be Lydian b7 of course as notes 1 to 4 are 'Lydian' and 5 to 7 are 'Dorian'.

I like it and just wondered if any others here in Unimatrix Zero liked/knew it too?

I think it was in my early 30s that I finally realised that those 'boring old gits' had been right all along about the guitar sound being primarily from the player's hands and heart. Forever wished I'd never sold my first sort-of-proper electric guitar, a cheapish SG copy... foolishness of yoof! 🙄

Apparently Orban The Grate Dicktator had tears in his eyes as he made his concession speech... No doubt contemplating the choice of prison or a life on the run...

Seems there is a chance that Hungary may be returning from its fifteen year visit to the 19th century in just a few hours 👍

The prospective new leadership is hardly 'radical' but definitely a big step back from the brink of fascism (if they're to be believed of course... politicians...)

A true story.
On a Tom Jones tour in the 90s - UK and Europe - In Paris we all stayed at the Warwick Hotel on the Champs-Élysées - 17 piece band from USA (most West Coast) trooped up the Champs-Élysées one sunny morning, almost crocodile fashion, past the finest cafes, whilst we road crew enjoyed late breakfast of delicious patisserie fare and the best coffee. Later they returned, clasping their McDonald's, (chicken McNuggets btw as, "We don't trust foreign beef") I mean.. help me #america wtaf?

So... a man that struggles to know which way round to sit on the toilet and a couple of accompanying wankers negotiated their way to nothing more than a free flight home. Never saw that coming.
