independent music is in a war of attrition against pay to play algorithms.we can't let fire emojis be the measure of our worth and absolutely have to build our own communities.join artists discords, mailing lists not just to support independents but to be independent yourself ✊

if you’re wondering how to make what people want, you’re an entertainer. if you’re wondering why no one wants what you make, congratulations dumb dumb, you’re an artist

This is a picture of me at age 12 making tape edits. It’s how I started making music. I would make new versions of songs I recorded off the radio by editing & bouncing through different cassette recorders. I'd sell the new versions of the songs at school the next day.

music is a project, identity is a brand, creative process is workflow, expression is content and it’s not experienced it’s consumed. resist the sneaky language that reduces us all to drones. resist! ✊

it's crazy to me that most people will never get to hear these tracks. but the people that do are making everything else we put out on regular streaming possible. so I bring my best whether it's for many ears or a few

what I’ve realised releasing under different names is I could bang on a tin can and it would still sound like me doing it whether i like it or not. stuck with ourselves for better or worse

i had to ask them to switch the music at a cafe i was at today because it’s a record i have fused to a vicious heartbreak in my mind : ) so embarrassing 🤦♂️anyone else have music that fucks them up enough to bother cafe staff or is it just me who’s mental?

Testing out some modules in the studio. Interesting interactions between individual harmonics generated by verbos HO and ADDAC for flute sounds. Metasonix tubes creating overtones for filters and erratic camerawork for bonus nausea

I’m late this month with a Nomark Club track but I’ve been learning new tricks on the visual front. sounds are made using combinations of LPG’s from both buchla synths and rabbid elephant hardware. full track here

i try to think about music releases like flirting when I was younger. your efforts count a bit but mostly it’s down to whether they like your ass at that moment

This is what happened then. In 2019 I was at a bit of a crossroads. I’d gone offline for a number of years since touring my biggest record on ninja tune while I developed a batch of albums under different aliases. namely Two Fingers, Figueroa, Only Child Tyrant and Stone Giants.

my debut album as stone giants comes out today. seven years in the making which is obviously too long. in any case it’s on matters of the heart so be ready to clutch your collars and cry salty tears

every month I put something carefully made out for a small group of people. this month it’s a track I’d reserved for my sets and kept in the dark for years. it’s a big one and I’m happy to finally share

a body of work is usually just the result of an mad focus on some process or other. I’ll compulsively make the same track over and over again in different ways sometimes for years

it blows my mind we’re coming up on five years of nomark club. I was worried I could deliver at first honestly at east to the level I wanted to. if you’re new or if you’ve been with me from the start I appreciate the ongoing confidence in my future output.

figueroa is something I’ve been developing for years and years. it’s still evolving in parallel with my other aliases. the debut album ‘the world as web know it’ was one of my proudest moments so I’m marking it’s release with a new song and epic fantasy video by shy1 next week
