mid-50s. Thought dumping and sharing making music & games for a hobby; LGBTQ+ stuff; & sometimes about libraries. Into late 1970s & early 1980s music, TV & film (especially fantasy stuff & kids TV), games, comics etc. My thoughts ramble a lot. T*BQ gender wiggler wobbler. They/them. My Music projects ------------------------------ Ice Line Drift (ambient minimalist beat-free rhythmic electro-prog inspired by Jarre, Oldfield, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis) Replay in Neon (leftfield melodic electrocrunch with occasional single idea songs) The Midnight Detective Club (Synthpop songs inspired by OMD, Eurythmics, Blancmange, YMO, Electric Youth, Yazoo. Vocals - Ellen & sometimes me. ) Soundcloud (inc demos): https://soundcloud.com/ashgre/tracks Bandcamp: https://ashnoodle.bandcamp.com/ Creative site (music & games): https://ashgreen.my.canva.site/home Music on other streaming services: https://network.landr.com/users/ashgreen Bandwagon.fm: https://bandwagon.fm/@ashnoodle
Here's a bit of background (that no-one asked for) to my Replay in Neon track on the last #Bonkwave release - Take the Kids to Sellafield Beach. A while ago I was working with someone who'd just come back from their summer holidays. A work colleague asked them how it went, and their reply was, "Oh, it was great. We took the kids to Sellafield." The reaction to this was kind of "Oooookay, that's ummm nice?!?" For those who don't know, Sellafield is a nuclear power plant in the North of England probably best known for its "incidents". The thing is, when you look at the coast around it, it's beautiful and rugged and you probably would visit it. So this track is trying to represent that combination of nuclear power plant and a fun summer day trip to the beach... along with the threat of 60 foot high mutated green glowing crabs. 🦀 ⛱ 🏭 #DontGoHavingBonkwaveNightmares

I’ve never seen speakers and amplifiers connected to a cotton-candy machine before. It is a surprisingly pleasant combination: sweet and bonky!
After being welcomed to the Neighbourhood, I've been listening a lot to @npub1tk7m...6cq3 Curxes / Verxes tape - Loads of great tracks. Trying to narrow my faves down from What you want, Further Still, Run from the funeral, Animal, Pure to Last, Spectre - Born Stranger remix, Valkyrie - Deluxe flamingos remix (a mix of gritty crunchy electroclash and lovely mellow songs). The Spectre - Soil in the Synth remix would go down well at 1990s Banshee gothy club in Manchester too.

Going back to the random idea I had a while ago of putting together diy tapes like I did in the 1980s / 1990s of my music, I've put together one and am now not sure what to do with it. Think I shared it before on here. It's very handmade/ramshackle (includes sticky tape residue on the box and pencil smudges on the tape I can't get off) and is made from an old tape I re-recorded over, but I redid the cover this weekend. It's the sort of thing I'd have lent to friends in the 90s. I was thinking of putting it on Bandcamp to give it away, but it seems like a faff. Was even thinking of paying the p&p to send it to whoever wanted it. "Why do it?" you might ask... that's if you've got this far. Because I like the silly idea of a limited edition 1 copy random ramshackle tape giveaway. Anyway, if anyone wants it, let me know. #fedimusic #synthpop #chiptune #ambient

A few years ago I also released this 3D Bitsy - Sister Spring, Brother Winter. Another slice of winter folktale. A wood spirit collects fallen pieces of sun to welcome back Sister Spring. https://ashg.itch.io/sister-spring-brother-winter The large character in the 2nd screen was from an old out of copyright book image. I was able to import it and then tidy it up using Image to Bitsy. I should get back into using 3D Bitsy. It was fun to build the scenes with it. :) #screenshotSaturday #indieGameDev #WinterFolklore
