I grew up in the era of Bob Moog and Wendy Carlos. My background is more in the engineering side of the business (fixing not mixing) but I always aspired to produce music as well. Last century, I worked in technical support at the BBC's Maida vale studios and for a while in the Radiophonic Workshop. Having built several synthesisers, the 21st century is the perfect time to get creative with them and ride the wave as the hardware and software for making music just gets more and more amazing.
2020 clobbered me, like so many others we know, but now it's 2024 and time to move on again.
Thus revamping some of the original material for nostalgia's sake but also working on some new solo and collaborative projects.  Enjoying the journey and hoping you are too.  Warmest regards, Blob_B


2024 Re-boot

..to use the modern parlance, New Year resolution for 2022, post the thing we shall not mention, was to make more music. Procrastination complete we started 2024 with several projects, some solo some collaborative and half way through the year things are starting to emerge.

Brief summary pre 2010

Blob was born in 1956 and worked in BBC Radio from 1978 until 1990 as an engineer. Much of that time was spent at the MaidaVale recording studios includinng some time with the Radiophonic Workshop.

In 1980 Blob made the difficult choice to move away from music and to work in news and current affairs. In 2005 he decided to reverse that decision and return to his true paaion. Around this time, Arturia introduced Moog Modular V and the time and mood were right to exploit the modern technology.

Forgot to add thanks for the 5 stars on "Spring Time". I'm glad you liked that one too, and thanks for browsing the tunes!

You're welcome. I'm trying to re-instate my presence here (not just CoVid but the former Day Job getting in the way) so engaging with the peer review process and "Spring Time" was a particularly pleasant surprise. I'm mostly about cheesy synth that may not be your thing but you might like "Alistair Stonewall" in a similar way. It's 5/4 so unavoidably compares to Mission Impossible - now all I need is someone to create the cartoon series for it to go with :-). Have a great day, B
