🥀 2026 marks a renewed dedication to the music—more attenuated composition, changes to behaviours such as transcription, and a daily ritual of lessons to sharpen the blade amongst other investments.

👺 "Monk" enters a new era with a fresh sigil, consolidated releases, and a trinity of "vibes" to match every shadow of my style.

🎻 This piece, albeit a work in progress, began as a lonely string section before evolving into the progressive beast you hear now.

💻 When writing prolifically, the details can vanish into the void, so I’m using Songsterr to forge 'mostly' accurate tabs to practice to.

🐟 Behold tonight’s session, complete with "goldfish" facial expressions as I stare at the monitor… I’m getting there.

🎆 Happy New Year to you all!

🥲It's a sad day to come home and learn of the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. From a child of '83 to an adult in 2025 - his musical output and presence has just always 'been there', as sure as air, sun, and all manner of things we/I took for granted, and now that thread has been cut short. A huge thanks from all of us for not just the music but all the inspiration, unbelievable displays of perseverance, and dedication. Ozzy was both incredibly super-human, and yet at the same time, incredibly human. A huge round of applause as this God returns to the skies. 👏👏👏 RIP Ozzy, Prince Of Darkness. What a legend.....What a legacy......
