"Gyne", full length album fuelled by "only child" syndrome

A labour of love that took four years to complete as on one hand life got in the way and on the other, I am doing it all myself:

Writing, playing the instruments (acoustic and electronic), recording, mixing, lyrics, vocals, production down to creating custom audio processors and the cover art, all me (hence the "only child" pun).

Only to be dismissed in the storm of auto generated art, because using electronic instruments and having abstract cover art means a generative AI must have been used, instead of trusting someone to have learned a thing or two over the past four decades of life...

Its admittedly not easy listening music, but I'd like to think an honest expression of what I was looking to realise at that time. Available for listening on the usual platforms

Around a decade ago a friend asked me to provide music for his homebrew game for Atari 2600.

As this music was going to be part of a game and had to be audible at runtime it was written by declaring binary lists in assembly language (using Paul Slocums music kit as the audio driver). So despite the TIA having some "problems" with playing in-tune notes and only having two channels of audio, this became a nice challenging restriction to work around/with.

The game was sadly cancelled (though we are talking about releasing it, hopefully in time for the Atari's 50th anniversary next year) but I enjoyed the result enough to polish it up for its own release.

For the square wave fans =')
