2 day reminder!!!

NHAM in concert present: control.org manipulate 25 in '26

Join us at 2100 UTC on Thursday 19th March at https://tv.theindiebeat.fm/ for a special themed live concert.

I am performing my dark dance album manipulate in it's entirety for its 25th release anniversary. It was awesome reworking the material that sonically still kicks the llamas arse.

It saddens me the dark and dystopian themes are only more pertinent in these horrific times. But we will stomp together in solidarity.

Then of course synthpop cover bangers for the people. A few from my REPLICATE 1.0 album not previously performed live, and also a sneak preview debut.

Everyone (who doesn't punch down) is welcome. Free for everyone to #joinin and free from corporate platforms!

One of the greatest things about our digital neighbourhood music gatherings is the community vibes.

You will have a great time just watching the intelligent, supportive, friendly and lovingly silly chat amongst rad folks, but do have a go saying ahoy. It's modded by our artist cousins. You might even enjoy the oontz too.

The team at control freak studio have been flat tack for weeks building this new show.

Doom Kitty, Engineer Dog, 3/4 roll of gaffer tape and me the human hope to see you on the virtual dancefloor. We have more show cues and technical tasks than 3 octopi could pull off. Probable joyous chaos.

Will I spill my tea? Will I hit every cymbal? Will I lose my voice? Will chat coin 30 new collabs, band names, and memes?

In a time where approximately everything sucks, join us for some cathartic beauty in the darkness.

Let's do this. Crank it to eleven! I do hope your neighbours will love it.

Just tried to #joinin a conversation originated by someone who’s set replies to mutuals only.

If you never attended an RFF event or Gravitons, or NHAM, I can assure you no matter the outstanding musical content with so much talent in the neighbourhood, the #community vibes are immaculate!

Welcoming, supportive, outrageously fun, and attended and moderated by artist cousins. You can quietly #joinIn too. Just be together!

Further shouts out to @ethicalrevolution @meljoann @limebar @thisoccasionalsociety . Nice one team.

Hope to see you in chat.

Stay safe. Stay vertical.

2/

friends, neighbours, fedizens, could you help me with some reach?

It's hard for #indie #artists to try and have a semi ethical online presence. Even harder when the artist comes from the darker nooks and crannies of he sonic palette, like a boss fight and one of your Famicom buttons is sticking. Last year I arted hard and I am trying to art even harder this year with your help.

Have I reached the end of the verse? Are there any endemic creatures of the night and beauty in the darkness friends out there or, might you pleasantly surprise yourself and hopefully your neighbours with some dark disco, #ebm, #industrial, #goth house, #synthpop, #futurepop, cathartic #powernoise, #horror, #dystopian, dark and noisy cinematic #soundtracks? We got it all on UHF.

Could you:

- Chuck me a follow and/or subscribe to my occasional and zero corporate tracking mail list as the feed is not always reliable to communicate events and releases?

- Mark your calendar to attend and maybe help hype and promote this weeks free #live online #concert where I am kicking off the new @nham presents series on TIBtv. 19th march 2100 UTC at @tibtvnowplayingbot . It's kind of a big deal in our small pond. The friends and colleagues hosting and the regular attendees are rad and you will love the #community vibes in chat. #joinIn and ride the #fediwave. You might even like the #oontz too!

- Have you checked out REPLICATE 1.0, my recent dark electronic renditions #covers album of alt and pop bangers and clangers from the 80s to present? Going to play some that I hadn't in last years' shows, plus sneak debut something from 2.0 at the live show this week. #newRelease #nowPlaying #fediMusic

- In addition to serenading your neighbours, I would love to be the soundtrack to your moving pictures, animation, video game assets, loops and beats, physical installation space, remix, haunted house, or any and all cool or punching upward projects you might have or could link me up with? I am seeking donate what you can if you can #commissions and am also super happy to offer or tweak existing things from the catalogue for your brief. I can brighten up the tone and sound if that suits.

- Or #donations always welcome if you don't need any sound but would like to just support/sponsor more of all of the above happening, I do enjoy having heat and meds, keep my inclusive and safer online live shows growing as I am unable to physically tour or work for others' tours, and help a subsistence farmer get more aggressively positive sonic assault out there free for the people.

- #boostswelcome these things OR EVEN BETTER, if you have a minute, maybe tag me up and make a post in your own words about something you enjoyed or was pleasantly surprised by etc from my previous shows, releases, remixes?

All the above things are in bio and pinned posts.

Thanks for your help.

Let's stomp in solidarity.

The last 20 years have been a long slow decline of doing stuff, some from having kids, and some from a bit of everything, not enough to warrant being taken seriously, or nothing seems to be wrong, or gaslit (that was 2 ER visits regarding my gallbaldder), and perimenopause. Add Covid. Now add edema, pulmonary arterial hypertension. Why the fuck is women's health so complicated to figure out!? I'n not happy with the pulmonary hypertension, especially since I went last July to the ER for being short of breath, and was sent home for nothing wrong, but we all failed (ER, Myself, my PCP) to note the high lab results that were noted for heart failure. That should have been emphasized and followed up on. Arghhh!
I don't know if its covid related but I will say that after getting covid in early 2025, my stamina was impacted (noticeably), but not this bad.
Anyway, I am hopeful now that I know what's wrong. Recovering from this...event?... is lonely. I'm off work and have huge limitations with stamina and breathing. BP is going down, fluids coming out, I feel fine... if I dont do anything. True, today is a bit better than yesterday. This still sucks. My sympathies for all those out there who have been like this a lot longer (for whatever reason). Hugs and Hellos!

Thank you for letting me vent.
