M. John Henry / Martin John Henry

Thank so much for all these ideas! Plenty here to explore.

But I'm also not looking for classic organ sounds, I'm not into that sort of retro. I guess I don't really know what I want. Something that makes long notes to go with all the other non sustaining instruments I play.

Ok, I'm probably not looking for anything very synthy, although maybe a synth that can do very rounded, almost organy drones.

Instant classic album for me.

What's a good instrument that doesn't cost thousands that I can play keys and they make constant notes of varying texture? Don't just say organ. Looking for specifics.

Weeds (LADYfingers Mix), by Whin from the album Weeds

lastly, a couple of years ago now my duo project with @mjohnhenry.bsky.social, Whin, made a 21-minute opus called Weeds, inspired by Bark Psychosis, Tarentel etc; it turned into a sort of gesamtkunstwerk with a set of remixes, a video, and a written piece whin.bandcamp.com/track/weeds-...

@mjohnhenry.bsky.social I love it! I really like the textured artwork too. I didn't know the vinyl was clear. A very nice surprise. And it sounds great. x

Thanks Al, Robert from Whin designed that!

“It reminded me of the quote that is often attribute to George Orwell that states, 'Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in the Congo.'”

Wondering if our flight to Australia in 3 weeks is going to go ahead or if I should start planning some REAL gardening.

Sounds too posh, its lofi disco music lol

This wan

Fuck this Sound Of Yell record is still amazing.

My band Jewel Scheme are working on a thing. It's one big long form, album length thing with a ton of parts and different sections. What do you call that? An album? Doesn't feel right.

Baby Blue Tapes, by Martin John Henry 1 track album

One-off, on-demand improvisations on C20 cassettes. I only do these rarely whenever the mood takes me. I've made another one available now.

Evelyn b/w Pest (acoustic demo 2006), by M. John Henry 2 track album

Sometimes it's worth sitting up late when you find this kind of gorgeousness 💚

First Friday tune from @mjohnhenry.bsky.social

Your auld uncle Da isn't the target market but Lonely Girl by Lucia and the best boys is all I've been singing. What a chorus.

I'd love to hear you playing in a church. Nice link to the religious connotations in your last couple of releases.

Still from the new video for Evelyn by Kris Boyle.

Single and video coming Friday!
