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.

I slightly missed Wednesday but let's still sneak in a behind the music post. Here is a sinister industrial/goth horror hop? track called "evil genius".

https://music.control.org/manipulate/4/

In the late 90s I had a partially operable second hand portable MiniDisc that I would take to the music superstore and jack into drum machines and synths to build samples. I distinctly remember building the intro loops for this track in that manner.

I will be performing my 2001 album manipulate in it's entirety, remixed and refreshed, kicking off the NHAM in concert series on 19th March 2100 UTC on @[email protected]. Hope to see you in the always fun and community supportive chat.

Bad news: kick drum head is on the way out. worried it won't make it through the next few weeks of practice much less show. Sadly it is beyond gaffer tape or that armour tape.

Good news: Had some help deep cleaning the micro blackbox theatre space and it feels better and should be less triggering to some of my ancillary hate buffet of ailments.

Great news: I am wildly "ahead" of schedule building the new live show as it was so much fun remixing, reworking, arranging and adding to 25-28 year old stems! All the mixes are sounding proper rowdy. Ahoy to your neighbours!

Shit news: no donations so far this month. no Fedi leads for any donate what you can sound commissions or even proposals for later in the year. I didn't want to post and boost all month about coin or at all really, I hate it, but here we are. Last year was the first time in years I was able to even try to drum again and I rather don't want to sell my kit. This post got heaps of eyes and boosts but no action:

Can you help with an advanced but not required "ticket" for the 19th March show?

My campaign for the year is only to help offset what I need to offer everything I do for free, servers, a few parts as needed to keep the shows rolling which I think they are a pretty well received and worthy hangouts, secure some help with visual art and post production on a few projects, and help me with heat in the studio supplemental food and meds when winter rolls in as an unwaged subsistence farmer. The stress removed allows more space to art hard, and some coin in pocket helps me be able to do more free collabs and remixes and backstage tech and advocacy.

Again, there's much more pressing issues out there for your support but if you receive or would like to help amplify the beauty in the darkness energy from the oontz and related activities, I would love to hear ideas for projects and would receive any support with massive appreciation.

Or it's a great time to donate anything you can if you can and take what you like from my catalogue on my faircamp. Bound to be something in there approaching tolerable? Even if no commissions or donations eventuate, everything I manage to release will always be free or donate what you can in solidarity until we get costed out of even hosting our audio downloads.

Hypothetically if one were to make an advert for an upcoming all out oontztacular concert from the micro blackbox theatre ov dooM directly to your neighbours' tympanic membranes, and theoretically if you recall saying in previous shows' chat or have something darkly fun, festive or hype to say about such events and vibes, would you mind sharing here or hitting me in DM if I might use said hype. Feels better than making shit up.

In case you are utterly unfased by adverts, go you, you can just go directly mark your calendar for 19th March 2100 UTC in the confidence that your neighbours shall rejoice.

Possibly wasn't the greatest of moves to release an album right before the holidays but I was amped to achieve releasing last calendar. Here is a fresh post in case you missed my weird covers album adventure. Thanks so much to early supporters. The album is now fully free or donate what you can as is the entire catalogue. I'll have an update out for the 2026 campaign, release and event schedule later today.

Preview REPLICATE and download it on my faircamp https://music.control.org

Preview and check out the track lore at https://control.org/replicate

REPLICATE 1.0 is a hiatus breaker and health building personal project of cover tracks in my crunchy style that had intentional rules and unwanted limitations. When I say a wild variety of source tracks are covered, I mean wild.

It's a snapshot of a time period and tool to try and get back at the studio desk. I do hope you'll find something amongst the offerings to have a head nod to, or a cry in the bathtub as recommended during a listening party. Stomp in solidarity.
