I wrote another book!

This one's a Jules Verne-esque Edwardian adventure story for kids 12+.

I actually started this one in November 2010 before going on a few side quests. Two kids, four house moves and a few countries later, I finished it.

I've been on a bit of a 70s/80s funk/soul organ thing recently. Think 'Vulfpeck' plays the 'Theme from Hill Street Blues'…

While working on my next album (Minimum Viable Product of a Misspent Youth), I decided to have a go at building a music visualiser.

No particular reason why, I've just never done it before. It involves attaching a Web Audio API Analyser Node to a Canvas then outputting the whole thing using a MediaRecorder.

The next post has details on how the basics of this approach works and how to build your own and here are a couple of examples of the visualisations.

btw, while you're waiting, why not check out my previous albums on Spotify?

Here's a fun, spooky little song for Hallowe’en.

Writing the lyrics took about 5 minutes. Writing the music took another 5. Recording and mastering it took about an hour.

Making the darned Pac-Man maze inside Minecraft took about 6 hours. No joke.

I think this means I'm better at recording music than I am at playing Minecraft and I'm okay with that.
