Warpman – tape player motor controller. 2021.
These videos are demos of the original warpman I released back in 2021. Warpman is a passive tape player motor controller and came with a cassette of sustained chords and drones that could be pitched up and down using 8 buttons and pots. The sequencer also worked as a CV sequencer for other synths.
Tantrum and chance – Audio software for the ZX spectrum. 2018
This was put together using only sounds from the ZX spectrum, running programs, Tantrum and Chance. Tantrum is a step sequenced beat creator and Chance is a random note generator. The parameters of both programs can be edited. This piece was put together using several different recordings on both programs. The results were then layered on top of each other in Ableton and a few effects added (delay/reverb).
All my friends are synths – EMOM tour diary
All my friends are synths came down from Glasgow last week to play a set alongside a great line up of artists including Pablo Cruz (all the way from Mexico and the founder of EMOMx). All my friends are synths put together a couple of nice vlogs whilst on their travels. Go find them and give them a follow, seriously funny, beautiful guys putting out some ripping tunes. Check out Lee’s and Stephen’s sites and channels below.

The Salt Pale Collective are a heavy post hardcore/metal band from Leeds in the North of England. Their track Northern Darkness is a serious noise infused, ambient piece laden with drones, chants and juxtapositions.
The salt pale collective are big supporters of the decadebridge project.
Beautifully creative people.
ADHD – Drone/noise synth 2021
ADHD was the second drone synth I released back in 2021. It had 6 oscillators and a volume for each. Based on 2 40106 ICs the second chip was used as a 2 oscillator cascaded power/synced power source for the main chip. It could create some crazy glitchy, noisy sounds but would also trip out on itself now and then!
Tantrum – ZX Spectrum beat creator (2018)
This was a short advert put together back in 2018 for my Tantrum ZX spectrum beat creator software that used the spectrum’s basic Beep function to create different drum hits.
Noise Boxes and Plugins 2018
A few images from some hardware and software ideas from 2018 including a first look at warpman. An extra shot of my little girl Lucy from 2018.
Midiphone – 2017
I put a few of these together back in 2017. The classic BT vanguard model was the perfect size for housing a Arduino based midi controller. The handset of course also doubling up as a seriously lofi microphone.
I still have the orange one, I believe I have the grey one knocking around some where and the beige one that was passed on to a friend I think found it’s way into the hands of different musicians in the North West over the past few years.
