Age of Infernal

This is For Gaza. A short piece of music, accompanied by a poem by Steve Tromans, and artwork by Axel (formerly Frogboi on Twitter). All of the work has been done in direct response to the genocide, and is dedicated to the people, alive and dead… ageofinfernal.bandcamp.com/track/for-gaza

Pretty excited to get the acoustic guitar solo I done on it coming through the middle, rather than being panned (fairly far over to the right hand side). Yup, I’m sad! Haha

Made a start with a new mix project (actually a template saved from the new WOL mix project) for One More Year. Will work on it as and when I can over the next wee while. Maybe have a mix to share by end of next week :)

Made a few small tweaks based on feedback, and think this is a pretty decent sounding mix. If anyone should happen to like it enough to want to listen to it more than once, feel free to save the wav straight from Dropbox, and listen as much as you want! dropbox.com/scl/fi/9hzdf1r…

@ImpossibleMule Well, I am, so you’d prob best run anyway! Haha

@AgeofInfernal Of course I don’t think you’re rotten, ya great softy.🤣 Just playing along with your tyrannical dictator schtick. And not very well by the looks of it.🤣

If I were a tyrannical dictator, I’d force you all to have the day off work when it’s too hot (or cold tbh). That shit can wait for another day. Pay? Don’t worry, we’ll work it out, you’ll be fine. You want to work? Fine, go ahead, ya jobsworth!

@ImpossibleMule If you do genuinely feel I’m rotten (which it sort of seems to me like you do!), feel free to not bother engaging with me (unfollow, mute, block). I’d totally understand!

@ImpossibleMule Ouch! Well, thanks, I suppose!

@ImpossibleMule This was basically the joke

@AgeofInfernal More benevolent dictator. Hardly tyrannical. Unless you are utterly horrid the rest of the time.

@EdmundGriffiths @sammeoch on piano, and the song would be nothing like how it is without his help!

@EdmundGriffiths Btw, in case it looks like I’m some weirdo coming on here calling myself Age Of Infernal for no good reason: it’s a band name. You may not appreciate this (the song itself, or me posting here), but check it out if you fancy, you may even like it! ageofinfernal.bandcamp.com/track/im-just-…

Thank you heatwave, we've enjoyed it enormously & you're always so generous with your time, but we know you have lots of other friends to visit & we'd just hate to think you were staying here with us a second longer than you wanted

@lalaletteschris Nice one :D

@AgeofInfernal Look forward to that

Mentioned a while back that some friends (from my first band) and I were working on doing some tunes together. It’s been an on and off thing, but we have a couple of songs ready, and I’ll release those on Bandcamp some time fairly soon…

We’re still hoping to get at least another couple of songs done, and that’d be a wee ep. Will see how we get on with that, but progress has been slow (half of the band live in Italy!), so, depending on what happens, these two songs may be all we get done. We’ll see.

These’ll be done under the name ‘Return of the Indigo Sons’, and the two songs are called ‘Flying’ and ‘Feel’. My friend Ottavio has done the mixing and mastering. Not sure exactly when they’ll be released yet, but sometime in the next month or so I’d guess…

@EdmundGriffiths I’ve already tried talking to it, but the damn thing just doesn’t listen. (Sorry, I’ll stop now!)

@AgeofInfernal 33 today here. Maybe you ought to be inviting the heatwave to pay you a proper visit

@EdmundGriffiths To be fair, it’s been around 25 up here in Edinburgh at its highest, and I see it’s been a bit higher than that down the road. Not very nice if you have stuff to do, I suppose!

@EdmundGriffiths Living in it, more like! Haha. But no, really, heatwave, lather me in your luscious, hellish rays, and I’ll bow to you forever and ever more

It was supposed to be ‘walk’ rather than ‘step’, but I zoned out when naming it, so it’s step.

My offering for today: synth/piano/electric keyboard sounds, and guitar and bass. (Back to work tomorrow, so prob won’t have much else to offer with regard to music for a few days or so, you’ll be glad to hear! Haha) dropbox.com/scl/fi/w4l0zmr…

I’m a simple machine

And a guitar or keyboard would probably help too!

Be a music-making machine. Just need tea/coffee, something to smoke, and time!
