'it's a lovely dream' by joan, commissioned for the #homestudio and created using #pencil, #felttip, #biro and #crayon on water stained veneer reclaimed from an old shelf. . . . #art #lockdownart #abstractart #reclaimedart #reclaimedwood #illustration #mixedmedia

the #privatisation of #space is now set in stone . . . just as #kimstanleyrobinson predicted in #redmars the transnational corporations will fund humanity's journey away from this planet. but what do they want in return? judging by our treatment of #planetearth we will destroy #themoon , #mars and any other #massivebody we encounter, plundering them for raw materials and leaving them in tatters. and who will travel on #spacex ? the highest bidder. the driving force for our exploration of the cosmos should be #enlightenment and #evolution NOT PROFIT. rest in peace #internationalspacestation you were once very inspiring. . . . #arkadybogdanov #greenmars #bluemars #reds #reddust #nasa #elonmusk

ed is playing #livegig this friday at 8pm on youtube (link in description) as a fundraiser for #SDCAS an incredible charity in #southeastlondon that supports #asylumseekers and #refugees. this is an extra tough time for their clients as many of them are tech poor and can't access online support. all money raised will go towards food, toiletries, protective equipment and hardship money. please stop by to have a look and donate via the SDCAS just giving page xx . . . #humanitarianaid #supportpackage #charity #hardshipgrants #peckham #eastdulwich #camberwell #community #communityorganisation #communitylove #migrantcommunities

happy #internationalsynthesizerday everyone, now I know this isn't really a picture of a proper #synth but it is nonetheless the first one I ever bought along with a brown #omnichord which I left on the street in #peckham when it stopped working. the #casiotone occupies a very special place in my heart though because it reminds me of playing with @kaceyjohansing in #sanfrancisco the vibrato on it is perfect too! i now own proper synths but none of them do that #vibraphone sound quite as well.

our last session at #sickroomstudios was just before the #lockdown started. owen was worried about what the future might hold for his and other small independent studios. so maybe now is the time to get him to #remaster that dumb old album or #remix those old #4-track tape recordings. whatever way you can find to support your #local #recordingstudio , now is probably a good time to start. . . . #2monthsoflockdown #recording #studio #norwichmusic #norwichmusicscene #norwichmusiccityuk #willoldham #jeffreylewis

motivational poster for the #homestudio scribed by @naomiwoodbooks and for the record I will be practicing not only my #scales but also my #skills . . . #makingbeats #meditation #creativity #readingbooks #stretches #stayalert #fuckboris

#sampling this pretty obscure #circledance tape that came from @scaifenina in a bundle of phonics books. fairly random bank holiday #inspiration with some deeply #esoteric vibes. so in lieu of #maypoledancing I'll be hunched over the #elektrondigitakt making music to burn a #wickerman to. . . . #cassetteculture #cassettetapes #cratediggers #cratedigging #tapingthehiss #hippies #mayday
