A sort of a post-military-electro-folk-plinky-plonky sound

So a little while ago, I posted a remix I'd recently completed. I said I might dig out some of my own musical meanderings and post them too. So here is a little something I hope you might think is okay, a track I've called Out Of The Cold And Into The Light:

I found it on an old computer so the track must be several years old at least. It's still pretty rough and although  I was tempted to try and neaten it up a bit, in the end I decided it was pretty much fine as it was and that I quite like its little quirks. As with most of my (limited) musical output, it was created using Buzz.

Anyway, have a listen. I hope you like it. It is quite a slow build but it gets a bit more upbeat in the latter half. And hey, you can download it if you like it (under a Creative Commons license) from my Official FM page.

Carry on

Ha ha etc.

Destroying other people's work

Occasionally I feel the need to muck about with music software (specifically Buzz) and at some point a couple of years ago, after hearing the beauty of Jack Fallows' musical project 'Echo Ave.', I decided I would try ruining one of his tracks.

Many thanks to Jack for not shooting me after hearing the results of my amateurish remixing.

So, here are my efforts so far - a bit rough but I guess maybe worth a listen if you like messy electro-folky type stuff.




You should definitely check out the original (and the other Echo Ave. tracks, particularly Sequence of Events (Jan 13) - the best love song with comics as the central metaphor EVER!).


I may or may not at some point dig out some of the older music that I've done in the past and bung it up online too.

Really REALLY stupid

My last comic, The Device (a proper 24-hour comic that I put out a little over a year ago), wasn't a massive success.

For something entirely done in twenty four hours, I did think it had a little depth and cleverness and was vaguely proud of it, but everyone else seemed to be totally baffled (or disinterested) by it.

More recently a couple of people have said nice things about it (suggesting that it's not out of the realm of possibility that some people do 'get' it), but still, the initial reaction concerned me enough to re-evaluate what I do comics about.

Anyway, after a bit of sulky/lazy hiatus, I've done a new Tales of Extraordinariness with the intention of it being the stupidest and most pointless publication EVER. If you like the sound of a very small comic featuring: stupidness and action (plus maybe spaceships, tea, showdowns and more stupidty), you can get a hold of Tales of Extraordinariness #3: 'Stupid Action Comic' very soon.
