Got a new needle for my turntable. It was about time to replace it!

Recorded two more.
I guess I have to release it now...
Time to find a project name (hardest part of it all) and create some artwork!

Demos 2017-2021, by Vanessa Funke 4 track album

Absolutely! It also makes total sense it has similar vibes, since it was recorded and released around the sane time. She has an amazing skill as a composer and the voice of an angel.
She also played most of the instruments on Water Bearer and produced the album, which is cool!

Quite a contrast, I can imagine!
But yes, it is a lovely song. Her work in general is really good!

-3/105, by The Occasion 4 track album

May I present: -3/105, an EP of outtakes from the last The Occasion album. These songs didn't fit the direction the album was developing towards and sound quite a bit different.

Today is a terrible day where everything and everyone around me IRL just loves to annoy me. I should just stay on the couch and watch TV for the rest of the day...

#JustListened

I think I can see why @vanessafunke.bsky.social left these songs off of "Songs Of The Night".
They feel indeed a lot darker, even her voice carries more pathos. That doesn't make them bad songs, they are just very different moodwise.
Still beautiful, though!

Highly recommended!

Oh not to forget Future Breeze, which is a pretty huge influence for the track I recorded yesterday

07.03.2026 12:14 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Think of mid 90s Euro-House and Trance. Something like Jam & Spoon, Robert Miles, etc. There's a bit of influence if stuff like Dune in there too

Alright then... I'll see if I can get more of that stuff together.
So now I need a project name. Any ideas?

What an interesting choice to play!

07.03.2026 10:50 πŸ‘ 7 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

So I recorded a 90s dance song today... is this another new project? I don't know. Maybe. Depending if I do more!
I do like quite a bit of this music, maybe it's because I grew up listening to it

Apparently it's Bandcamp Friday???

Anyway, quick thread of my best albums (in my opinion). Everything is $2 or less, still lots of tapes available for some of these.

The vocalists for this project will be none other than @vanessafunke.bsky.social AND @rubyrockatansky.bsky.social! I admire both of them and their work immensely so it's an honor to have them help bring my vision to reality!

Yes for both. I also know of several Dire Straits pics from '84/'85 where they wear stuff like that.
