Ok managed to make some more today.
Everyone who has received an edition number from me: yours is now in the post and should be with you in the next 7 working days or sooner.
I've got a couple more sets of templates printed out but no more time until next week - then that'll be the lot I think. If you want one, get in quick.
Fingers crossed they survive the wilds of international shipping, customs and tariffs... 🤞
Have you ever wanted Key 13 music on physical media? No? What if it came in a beautifully designed box set of 3 mini-CDs?
Still no?
What if it was free. Completely free. How about then?!!
Key 13: Sun + Sea + Aardvarks mini CD Box set.

The full set, printed and burned.
Aligning the CD artwork in the printer seems to be a bit random. The same setting doesn't always produce identical results - must be something to do with the way the tray is inserted which is annoying.
They do look beautiful though, if I do say so myself!
Now I just need a mini box slip to put them in.
If you previously downloaded the "Eleusis - Prehistory of Key 13" release, you might want to download it again (sorry!)
Apparently the original uploads had a lot of high frequency noise/hiss which was irritating to people with better ears than I have (I can't hear high frequencies at all).
Many thanks to @retech and @desolationpark for lending me their ears while I managed to eliminate the issues.
Anyway, new uploads should fix it:
Oh, did I mention there's a tiny little new Key 13 track on the latest #BonkWave release?
I got stuck halfway through making this one, so did that rather clichéd thing of "adding moar cowbell".

I also brutally chopped up some of @Loki_Laufeyiarson 's samples in there as well.
Remember those old music files I found on a CD-R a few days ago?
I've cleaned them up a little with RX and Ozone, and released them as a mini-album of sorts. These date from the mid-1990s, the files were in a bit of a state and the quality in all respects is.. a bit poor, so listen with that in mind..

I've also written far too many words about them, which no-one should bother to read all at once, but it's here if you want it:
Someone described this as "keefarpenter" on the party chat. [sorry I missed who!]
I'll take that, But see what you think:

I should probably mention that there is a tiny little new Key 13 track on today's upcoming #BonkWave release. It could be #NotBonkWave I suppose, who knows...
The track title was taken from some spam posts we had on the BonkBoard. The track itself was made entirely with Cherry Audio's Elka X soft synth, even the percussion.
Release party at 20:00 UTC which is 21:00 in London, 22:00 in Brussels, 16:00 in New York and 13:00 in Vancouver.
This is a live bonk wave streaming server powered by Owncast.
It's #MusiciansDay - am I a musician? Who knows.. I generally only use virtual instruments, does that count?
But I do make some things that are approximately music, as Key 13. In the last couple of months of 2025 I made some tracks using a real instrument, of sorts - although perhaps it's more of an expensive toy.
"audius consumed" was made entirely on a Teenage Engineering OP-XY - and while it starts with me just playing around, I got better...
