I've released a few things under different aliases and collaborated with others, but they will have their own threads (Clockwork Keyboard) or be mentioned later.

Next Link related release (Cover is work in progress):


Karramantha, a glitch-step collaboration with Option Command. It will feature tracks by us plus many different awesome remixes, so far including FSOLboard natives Ross Baker, Noisesurfer and cubus. Tracks are still being worked on and many more remixes are forecoming hopefully! Here's a preview:

This release doubles as a soundtrack to an sci-fi animation I'm working on. A prequel of sorts to a much larger story I've had in my head for ages. It will be a flash animation and will be posted on places like Vimeo and youtube. The cover of the album is one frame I'm working on from the animation.

Wait for your new realese,im expected about remixes workings

Woah, if that's just one frame from the animation then it's gonna look seriously good. That's a lot of detail there, I can't imagine how long animating something like that takes

I'll say this, its going to take a while, even with the software I'm using and its many shortcuts, its going to take a while. Thanks though

The soundtrack so far has given me allot of ideas! Its shaping up so nicely!

My ambient alias Stopscape's debut has been released on Itsu Jitsu, download here:

Wow, this one's... weird. Completely mad collage that heads off in a completely different direction to how I imagine it at every possible chance. Good stuff.

Thanks Ross

Another Stopscape coming soon.

For now:

I've started a new mix series called "Loose Link Compacts", each mix will be dedicated to one prolific artist as I grab an hour out of their hundreds and hundreds of output and mix it all together, first, its Tangerine Dream:

More to come.

There is also a Loose Link remix on Doug Sharp's remix album on Itsu Jitsu here:

Great stuff bro

I was about to say 'that's a lot of Tangerine Dream!' before remembering that, in the grand scheme of things, it's really not, ha.

Also availible on Sirona, the RSSTHNKNN EP:

Ugh, I've just heard my track for the first time since sending it to you - there's so much muddy mid range in the first section dominating almost everything else in the mix .... (hangs head in shame)

An hour and a half of the same track! This is going to be... interesting? Haha. Looking forward to giving it a listen.

Excellent Work

Karramantha's got some really nice mixes on there, I made a mental note of the intro, ['tima], Jostle Throng, OK Sure Remix 2, Dinosaur Youth, Joetox and of course Cubus (no bad frequencies on these speakers Pete!) all being good.
