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

If you're into synthpop, & creative narrative music videos filled with humour & puppets & a nod to the 20th century (but not only), have a look at from @Roberta Fidora - magic stuff.

Amazing to see the EU petition calling for a ban on conversion therapy at 1,176,000 signatures. It closes at the end of today, so if you are in an EU member state you still have time to sign. https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home Wish the UK was still part of the EU. 😔

Now enjoying the magic vocals and squidgy phasey bass synths on @Meljoann Squick album.

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

I made this Bitsy game a few years ago - inspired by the folklore of keeping the lights of winter burning for protection & a way of welcoming back the ancestors. Definitely inspired by Spectrum visuals too. https://ashg.itch.io/midwinter-spirits #ScreenshotSaturday #retro #indiegamedev
