Nice gentle little early morning session on #IRobot from #Llamasoft Got a few new levels under my belt. I think a top 10 place on the PS leaderboard is doable. Might give it a go later…

Amazingly, I have 133 tunes out in the wild. And that's not including quiddity stuff either. I keep track in a spreadsheet. 😜 If someone would like to pick a number from 1 to 133, I'll pop a link to the corresponding tune...

Less than 3 DAYS to back the HEART OF NEON Blu-ray Kickstarter campaign..! Grab this unique collector's edition before the opportunity is gone. kickstarter.com/projects/dok... #GamingCommunity #retrogaming #videogames #indiedev #jeffminter #llamasoft

It seems the new groups are concerned 😃 I love this footage (that I’ve just seen on Facebook) of Paul (Simonon) with a couple of young Clash fans singing ‘Guns Of Brixton’ ❤️

I'm in glacial mode for new music production at the moment. There's stuff happening, of course, but I seem to be struggling for time to do new things. So it was nice that this idea dropped out last night in a couple of hours. #music #electronicmusic #workinprogress #demo

I’ll tell you a joke about Sisyphus - it’s a bit of an uphill struggle. I’ll tell you that joke about Sisyphus again - it’s a bit of an uphill struggle. I’ll tell you joke about Sisyphus again - it’s a bit of an uphill struggle. I’ll tell you joke about Sisyphus again…

If you're interested in the project, the Kickstarter is still running for another week or so - it's into its stretch goals so a few more pennies will mean a few more goodies! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dokk/the-heart-of-neon-blu-ray

As part of the Kickstarter for Heart of Neon (a film about Jeff Minter, Llamasoft & light synths) I was asked by Paul Docherty, the filmmaker, to have a chat about Llamasoft & how my music came to be in their games Flattered to be asked & was fun! youtu.be/GGeoWmPyPak?... #HeartOfNeon #Llamasoft

Don’t feel like going to bed.

Working on a UK gov department web site filling in a multi-part form spread over about 10 web pages (or so). As you'd expect, there's a time out function to reduce security risk. However, it appears that this time out is coded to sign you out 15 minutes after you sign in. Regardless of any [1/2]

Seriously considering using some old 11+ non-verbal reasoning questions for the table round in tomorrow night's pub quiz. I shall probably be the most hated man in the village.

My top 50 played artists in May. No surprises really. Well. Maybe one.

A three-year-old brought me a bit of black paper. "Look", she said, "I found a piece of night!" We're all born poets, but slowly we forget.

Amazingly, our own Andrew Orton has uncovered a rare 1971 first edition of 'Hammer of the Dust Tower' - the first book in Henry Hunter's Fellfoul series. Bizarre that Andrew should chance upon it like that, just on a pile in a Co Durham charity shop. It's almost as though it wanted to be found...

The Percussotron! The first drum-operated synthesiser to be invented and operated by a swarthy 1970s TV detective.

Had a smashing weekend down in The Forest of Dean with family. Time spent with the grandkids is always great - and thanks to The Son popping the question we now have a future daughter-in-law. Lovely. Bonus content: Brutalist BBQ at the AirBnb.

Having a quick play with the new Bandcamp public playlist tool. Here's my test playlist pulling together tunes from my live set. Will also do a couple more featuring other people's music at some point... https://bandcamp.com/gribbles/playlist/songs-from-the-live-set-2025
