It was a nice end to a summer of music playing with ja! Sputnik at Kozfest in Wales. Great little festi with brain-frying psych and space rock. My favourite band was Highest Primzahl On Mars.

@lumluxart.bsky.social I wholeheartedly agree. Sometime I feel the beauty is in the imperfection.

I'll be playing a Wavy Line gig this Sunday 26 July at Machine Learning, The Brunswick, Hove. This is a techno project so will be quite different to my last gig as Astral Engineering. #Brighton #LiveTechno

@solarphasing Great photo with your post. I love Laurie Spiegal's work, and her leading the way with computer music. Sadly imgur.com is blocked in the UK :-(

I've posted an ambient video to accompany a recent Astral Engineering tune; The Shimmering Air. It features a dew pond at dusk in the South Downs. Not much happens; the sky darkens, you may see ducks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvPu84huNLc

Machine Learning on Sunday was fun. I enjoyed playing a set there. Thanks to Lee, Matt and all the performers for making a great night out. There's a video of my Wavy Line set, mainly featuring fingers & buttons, but with good quality sound, on youtube youtu.be/oj80fDbNV0s
