Shinbones Man - Aloha Maybe (with video) 2025-04-22
Behringer JT Mini sequenced and accompanied by Polyend Tracker. I asked my youngest for a song title, and my youngest is presently obsessed with LILO and Stitch! Composed partially at the kids’ BJJ class and secondly when they were tearing around a softplay. I was gonna get deafened in the soft play either way so might as well bring my headphones!

Chaotic, fuzzed-out, glitchy industrial/electronic dawless improv.
The main synth is the Make Noise 0-coast, driven through a hand-built Green Ringer and a hand-built Reasonably Good Mangler.
The other synth is a simple Eurorack voice pushed through a hand-built phaser.
