ok
- doing lots of research for next album, it is almost all iâm doing
- long_distance_telephone_(computer_music)
- stay tuned
- had some real anxiety days
- been reading about midi guitars
- went into the office and saw some people, got given a 16-inch laptop my work, itâs really big. itâs 2.1kg
- broke up with my girlfriend
- i donât normally talk about work except for when i occasionally post âlittle think about bigglywinksâ but iâm pretty excited about it right now. i donât have any more to say about that.
- the first computer music might well have been made by alan turing on a computer called the manchester baby, or âthe baby machineâ. he played some pitches and rhythms. it was improved by chris strachey later who made it sing god save the king to the bbc.
- in school he âshowed signs of brillianceâ but âperformed poorlyâ. he went to college and âneglected his studiesâ switched subjects a few times and then had a nervous breakdown after realizing he was gay
- see you later chicken
thinking about becoming an iconoclast

week 40; 2022
had a good week, but having a difficult time in general.
went into the office and helped carry a sofa down the stairs so we could create a new space for living and working in together. afterwards i went to harryâs and got my prawn cocktail. afterwards i went to a bar and started a fight with some insurance guys.
mostly just wrote code and made music, and at the weekend i got drunk.
someone told me they listened to CORN and they love how i âsculptedâ my kicks and i feel like a crook and a swindler because iâve never sculpted a kick in my life.
donât know what else to say.
iâm meant to be alone
