Kyoto Autumn Sunset timelapse yesterday evening out the studio window. Think the shooting starts are just aircraft. Track is a clip from the 10 minute "Ambient Pulse" from album "Spirograph" on my Bandcamp: megacurve.bandcamp.com/track/ambien... #music #timelapse #kyoto

Closed our website of 20 years. The last 3 years had been 99.8% bots and AI skimmers anyway. It was time. I wasn't qualified to renew our DNS any more anyway.

Our 8 string. I have always been a MAKER (to use currently term), so modifying something to make it better/usable is not an issue for me. Had to modify this to make it tunable and stay in tune: art-and-technology.blogspot.com/2024/12/harl... #guitars #metal #maker

This is "Where The Smoke Comes Out". Inspired by the Historical/Autobiographical work SHOWA, by Shigeru Mizuki. Has historical and personal memories of art, tech and music in Australia & Japan. Download the .cbr format comic book: drive.google.com/file/d/10BX-... #comics #music

YOUTUBER-ISH chat on half-step-down-tuned-DROP-tuned 7 string, recorded DI, but monitoring thru DIST->MICRO AMP->10" CAB under the desk to get no latency. Added NAM + DAW processed sound back into video here. Edited out some too long pauses. No, don't think of myself as a "guitarist". #metal

Reading Stephen Palmers "fairly recent" book on the early Tangerine Dream years. I first heard Tangerine Dream from a German friend. An interesting read. Cool music descriptions. Doesn't really look it, but must be a Print On Demand book, bought from Amazon Japan. @stephenauthor.bsky.social

A Cosmologically Bouncy Techno Guitar Pop track...😃 THE BIG BOUNCE is one of the Cosmology theories on the creation of the Universe... covered in Sagan's 1980 TV Series COSMOS episode 10. Synths, heavy guitar tone and vocals you understand. Drums are a only a DUBSTEP Snare & Kick. #music + #comics

DRAFT: Comfort & Fear 130BPM. Touching on PTSD. A MUSIC + COMIC 7 years since retired and no nightmares now! 😃 Vocal delivery is probably more "musical theater" than rock, but am okay with that. Mixed Media Missive around this song: art-and-technology.blogspot.com/2026/06/comf...

Final Chapter - 85 BPM. Little ditty with some thoughts about life after retiring. Have acquaintances with health issues, like we all must. Our Final Chapter, maybe 25+ years, for others, something less. Here's to good health! megacurve.bandcamp.com/track/final-...

The track Moral Constipation now on Bandcamp. In some tracks the music is only there as a backing to the lyrics (or what they may mean, like here), and fill up 2+ minutes with something simple enough to be hummable. 😃 megacurve.bandcamp.com/track/moral-...

Replacing Jazz Bass Pickups #music + #comic This week is GOLDEN WEEK holidays in Japan. Love the Jazz Bass, but hated the hum using just neck or bridge pickup. This fixed that problem. Did this Feb 2023. The Wilde Pick Ups were reasonably priced, and unusually, so was the postage to Japan.

The Sewaritei Cherry Blossom Walk, Yawata-shi, Kyoto 2026/3/29. It wasn't at full bloom yesterday but maybe all gone next weekend. Much less crowded without all the mainland China tourists, allowing me to actually walk in a straight line rather walk a zigzag this year. youtu.be/gpUcI-xZljA?...

Still haven't found what I'm looking for, but maybe this is closer to THE #music + #comics style where the speech balloons aren't animated, but other parts of the frame are. Guitar started very STATUS QUO, but it mostly went elsewhere 😂 Coming back here to Bluesky MUCH less now...
