The past year has been a bit of a wild ride. Since the last FAWM I have:
- discovered that I am autistic
- discovered that I've got ADHD
- discovered that I have complex-PTSD
- worked on music projects with Chris Merrick Hughes and Portishead's Adrian Utley
- recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studio with Robert Brian and David Rhodes...

I don't use any AI tools in my work. Honestly, I just don't see the point of them. If I hand over any aspect of my creative process to what amounts to a glorified plagiarism machine, how is that going to improve my skillset? The answer is brutally simple: it can't. For me, AI is an artistic dead end that must be avoided at all costs. I don't even use iZotope's machine learning mastering wizards when I'm mixing or mastering something; I prefer to rely on my ears.
If you use AI, that's fine, you do you; knock yourself outโbut don't expect me to have any interest in ever listening to the results.

Good to see that you have survived ! Can't wait to hear your FAWMing this year.
That pic of you with Hugh Padgham (on the New Gear forum) is awesome. To this day, my favorite song is still Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. I just love the sound of Ghost in the Machine.
Hey, glad to be back and to see you back!!! I will be as surprised as you by the output here at Fuzzy Sound Labs; I never know what's going to happen!!!
Whew - wild ride, indeed! Although it's never been officially identified I suspect I share some of the early points on that list. I hope items 4 & 5 helped smoothed out the rest.
Here's to a successful FAWM and more music brought to a world that's also a bit more rough around the edges, this year.
Have a Great FAWM!
