Back in May I wrote about being inspired to write a track based on a YouTube comment.

I recorded a test not long after and built on that into June. Then the breakdown struck and I had a massive crisis of confidence alongside the depression and anxiety.

I wasn't sure if I was ever going to release it or even finish it. I had a version that was 80% of the way there but I wasn't entirely happy with it. Now, finally, after sitting on it for five months, I've settled on an arrangement that I'm (mostly) happy with.

You can listen to "Not enough dictionaries to cry" over on BandCamp.

Today was mostly wiped out by a migraine with much of it spent in bed.

I have, however, spent a couple of hours this evening working on something that I started last night: a new blissed out, trancey #acid track.

I'm putting the MS-1 to good use.

I started a new track a few days ago and came to work on it yesterday afternoon. The session didn't go well — things weren't flowing. So, after a few hours of scrolling through presets I gave up.

After tea, I thought I'd have another try but instead wote almost a complete new track and finished it this morning. That's just the way it goes sometimes.

Here's a quick snippet:

# The new track is called "Self Doubt" and is now live on Bandcamp.

# So happy that Southampton FC will be back in the Premier League next season. Must admit to also having a bit of trepidation after our last season there. Much to be done over the summer but let's enjoy it for now! 🔴⚪🔴⚽

It's been the perfect weather combination ... for weeds.

I cut the front grass not long ago, pulling the stuff that shouldn't be there but rain followed by some hot, sunny days meant those pesky weeds just seemed to appear from nowhere. I cut that all back again yesterday.

This morning has had me out the back pulling up all sorts of stuff. I'm probably about half way done but it's gotten too hot to be out there comfortably.

Maybe this year will be the one where I actually keep on top of the garden. As I've said before, I'm a reluctant gardener at best. Maybe it's because I don't know much about it and so just see it as a chore.

# I've been spending some more time with the new old track, making more tweaks and adding additional layers. I'm pleased to announce that a 'final' version is now up on Bandcamp on a free/pay what you want basis.

This was always intended to be the last track on the 'mental health' E.P. with a more euphoric vibe. I think I've done it justice and am really pleased with how it's turned out.

New up on Bandcamp: It's all in your head — a 124 BPM #acid banger.

Written in March, it was originally supposed to be on a new E.P. (where each track was somehow related to mental health issues) but that never happened so I'm releasing it as a standalone track. At least for now.

"It's all in your head" is the classic example of what NOT to say to someone.
