So, incredibly, we’re halF way through Jamune already! As you know, at the centre of the whole halF unusuaL project is a fascination with sound — and the question of under what conditions we might allow it to manifest itself as music. Today’s Jamune offering — number 16 — takes a really simple idea: exploring how sound lives and breathes inside a video editor. Our eyes and ears are governed by very different mechanisms, physically and mentally. But under certain circumstances

So, ASMayR is now finished! Thanks for taking part 🙏🤗 And this video is a collation of all of the triggers released on Paintbrush ASMR in one big grab bag of snippets 😁 ☑️ This 'All 31 Triggers' video might be a good index, or starting point, to check out videos you might have missed but would really want to see/hear ...

To pre-celebrate Jamune just around the corner, here's a special bonus ... Today's streaming release of a new track. Enjoy! It's inspired by those final chords in Sibelius Symphony No.5 ... Well, who wouldn't be?! One of my favourite software tools, GRM Tools Atelier, provides much of the weirdness and delicious mangling ... You can find other crazy sonic explorations using Atleier (including some tutorials) on the YT channel ... Have a great day!! 🤗🙏

Starting Monday, I’ll be taking part in Jamune — a month-long creative challenge built around making and sharing something new every day throughout June 2026. I’ve already been quietly posting in the run-up across various places, but I thought it might be useful to say a little more about what I’m actually doing — and perhaps why. On one level, Jamune is simple: each day begins with a shared prompt or starting point. Everyone interprets it in their own way and makes something
