I am a musician and a mustelid. I make unbearably skittish music.

2026-07-11 05:36:42 UTC

I just had a sudden pining nostalgia of walking in Pagan Park and studying Czech. The mind is at times a horrific beast .

2026-06-28 17:53:21 UTC

I think what Lee wanted to say when he told me that even mediocrity is an extreme is that actually all concepts are discreet points or levels on the quantum and are independent. Each can happen simultaneously, overlapping even within the same person.

2026-06-11 04:48:22 UTC

One of the finest simple pleasures is freshly ground peppercorns.

2026-05-20 12:06:13 UTC

Would you rather have friends or have people who agree with you? They aren't mutually exclusive, but many tend to collect the latter.

2026-05-07 08:56:59 UTC

No Krugerrands for Klobasa-boy.

2026-05-05 18:26:00 UTC

So my father has died. Life shall once again skew at an angle. The following weeks will be bizarre.

2026-03-27 14:32:00 UTC

A tea - or should I say "infusion" - of dandelion, nettle, kelp and dulse.

2026-03-16 09:44:31 UTC

What about music that you must pause afterwards to think deeply about its deep violence and delivery? Its delivery in a spectacularly shattering way? Even after listening to it myriad times?

2026-03-16 07:35:14 UTC

One day the younger brood will ask "why is it so compelling? it's just words on paper. there is no stimulus to force my eyes forward into the story".

2026-03-16 07:26:29 UTC

We. as a collective, approach Frankfurt as if it is a womb.

2026-03-14 15:36:50 UTC

Since I am rewriting my website & static site generator from scratch in Rust, the meager Nostr implementation is being included in the renovation. Amazing, eh? Right now it only sends messages, however. Though this is immensely exciting, it is not particularly worthy of the praise that the rats gathering around the stubs of my legs give it.

2026-03-14 15:31:05 UTC

In fact, she did come back. And in fact, she is sitting in front of me and to the left a bit, though facing in a different direction and interacting in a universe distant from my own.

2026-01-04 12:46:44 UTC

That moment when you told me, as you were taking your cosmetic apparati from the draws and shelves that 'I'm not coming back'.

2026-01-04 12:46:43 UTC

Some people buy new toys or electronic gadgets or table games or troqueles to fill the emptiness and stagnation that endless routine creates. Others move to the other side of the Earth and begin new and sometimes completely alien routines.

2026-01-04 12:15:22 UTC

You told me that were we not together, you'd never have another man in your life. That was a few days ago. And this morning - or rather noontime - you leave me suddenly. What am I supposed to feel? How can I feel? HOW THE FUCK CAN I FEEL?

2026-01-04 12:15:21 UTC

2026-01-03 17:55:40 UTC

I fell asleep last night listening to the sound of my receding hearing. Sleeps steals away each of your senses, replacing them each with hallucinations vomited up from an inner rage.

2026-01-03 17:55:40 UTC

2025-04-30 18:40:41 UTC

There must be speculative fiction out there considering an alternate reality in which agriculture as we know it did not happen and how "technology" evolved differently.

2025-04-30 02:58:22 UTC

I've always been gone for a day.

2025-04-28 14:52:07 UTC

I noticed today that the young boys on skating apparati always move off the sidewalk for incoming walkers. The young girls never do? Telling or cherry-picking?

2025-04-13 13:29:54 UTC

After violently wresting seeds from avocados, I'd toss them onto the wooden floor for Molly to chase, bat about and ultimately lose in one of the shadowed rincones of the Logroño flat.

2025-03-18 15:53:51 UTC

Each living human awakes alone, the last human on earth. Actually, each human has been placed in a separate "parallel universe". The borders between these universes are thinner than we are used to.

2025-02-21 16:49:25 UTC

When using the bathroom at the optometrist and noticing the sign that reads "Do not flush feminine products", I had a vision of an old man furiously flushing again and again a toilet in which was a teenage girl's severed head.

2024-12-10 00:46:47 UTC

I have a patch bay for my emotions.

2024-12-08 15:19:53 UTC

My friend Christian has a cleft nostril.

2024-11-29 01:34:19 UTC

Humans don't really like one another.There is just very wide range of tolerence.

2024-11-10 13:52:37 UTC

Humans treat those close to them (family / understanding friends) with less respect than those more distant for two reasons:
1. It is understood that the former will get over it regardless.
2. Humans are in general too concerned about what the latter think of them.

2024-11-05 15:23:33 UTC

Amusingly, one of the things I missed terribly this morning about my ex-home in logroño was washing the dishes there.

2024-10-28 12:24:26 UTC

A person can only ever love another on his own terms. Or her own terms. Or its own terms. A cat, however, a person can love unconditionally.

2024-10-02 08:40:08 UTC

Would ot bewise to purchase all 20+ fuzz pedals from Basic Audio?

2024-09-13 21:32:35 UTC

- reply

To be eliminated. It's the proper way.

2024-09-11 08:46:45 UTC

2024-09-11 08:43:54 UTC

I fell asleep last night listening to Köhntahrkösz Part 1.

2024-08-09 08:27:13 UTC

Sweet Entropy plays along the undercurrents of these weeks.

2024-08-05 12:56:21 UTC

Someone is shooting a film at Hroch's farm. I can't wait to see it.

2024-07-05 20:22:04 UTC

Jeníček cannot recall the names of the hospody, cafés nor of the restaurants that we attended throughout epochs and epochs.

2024-06-30 10:15:03 UTC

Numbers 13 & 14 - two long, meandering improvs in two days. Life is very unlike a caterwauling bovine. https://faircamp.thurk.org/lilting-ululations/ #ambient #DroneMusic #AmbientGuitar #synth

2024-06-21 06:44:45 UTC

Soon, the SYNTRX II will experience sonic goopiness through the Make Noise QPAS.

2024-06-08 10:10:34 UTC

How long can one play arpeggios over a Db7 chord before one becomes an amoeboid automation?

2024-06-07 07:59:52 UTC

Lapsang Souchong with hazlenut "milk". A scrumptious start to the hazy morning.

2024-06-03 06:53:06 UTC

The formerly twtxt feed is now taken wholly from Nostr - specifically my relay at nostr.thurk.org. I've yet to implement search. I must decide if I want to use a cached version or just fetch the feed anew each time. For a keyword search, this appears to be the only way. For timestamp ranges, filters as described in NIP01 could be used. If I tagged each post in some custom way, Nostr tags could also be used. It's something to ponder.

2024-06-02 15:21:52 UTC

Can I fetch and parse this nostr feed from my Elixir "app"? I suspect so, but testing is a good thing.

2024-05-31 06:15:02 UTC

One arrives at conclusions upon awakening only to have them dissolve from consciousness minutes or even seconds later.

2024-05-30 07:51:46 UTC

What kind of lemur do you think I am, anyway?

2024-03-31 10:36:37 UTC

in the next life, i shall associate with only 'well adjusted' humans.

2024-03-20 07:52:22 UTC

Walking through the streets of Logroño listening to Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.

2024-02-27 14:36:54 UTC

I believe I am slipping. The other day, I ordered two cans of shaving cream. I had a choice of what TYPE, but unlike in formative years, I chose two of the same TYPE instead of one of each. Yes - slipping.

2024-01-29 14:23:42 UTC

People don't want to read or watch things that describe and therefore make them 'sad' about the human condition. They want to read or watch things that make them laugh about nothing in particular and therefore feel comfortable remaining in the human condition.

2024-01-29 04:30:23 UTC

It occurs to me that many people do not choose the music they like themselves, or not wholly themselves. They let popular culture choose for them. I choose the music I listen to because it appeals to me deeply in an intellectual, visceral or atavistic manner.

2024-01-16 08:12:49 UTC

It's possible and most likely common to despise humanity as a whole but hold in high esteem 'being human'.

2023-08-22 18:27:17 UTC

The bookends to The Fen like gardens of solace and what goes inbetween the journey from one to the other.

2023-08-22 16:24:21 UTC

And isn't music just what some bloke or another thought sounded good at one point then handed off to another and another and the most popular survived como survival of the fittist? I think it has something to do with it. We are the stray branches, the weed spouts that have ansia for something tangible but are cut from the 'trunk'.

2023-08-22 16:15:57 UTC

What about the other side of the monster? Yes, in a Grendel sense, but on a less violent scale. The father who abandons the pregnant teen because he knows his life would be destroyed afterwards. Etc.

2023-08-16 14:29:05 UTC

Humans generalize normality to their own bubbles and then question others' perception of normality. Thus begins conflict.

2023-08-08 10:26:03 UTC

I had a strange, involved dream about Andrew. I don't recall the details, but it seemed to be a hybrid of time spent with him, mine and James's current project and the novel I'm reading.

2023-07-31 21:56:22 UTC

Relationships are too fragie. People are too egoistic and stubborn to compromise. I cannot do it nor can she. The end is in sight once again

2023-06-19 10:36:44 UTC

Christian ends up a desperate balding man with a panchita wife who orders him around like a toy kitten

2023-06-19 09:37:28 UTC

The problem with Scandinavian teenagers is the death they haven't experienced yet.

2023-06-19 09:05:26 UTC

In Black mirror, Selma Hayek replaces God as the creature to 'debase' in a ranking of classes. Mere grunt who watches 'tv personalities', tv personalities themselves, and God

2023-05-17 07:25:42 UTC

One chooses what one is sentimental and retrospective about. One chooses what one is regressive about, as well. I'm certain many exist who spurn digital photography and thus adhere to the 'puro' methods of analogue photography.

2023-04-22 07:36:34 UTC

Spanish people live in states of extremes. I assume this is from the extreme Catholic culture they experience as youngsters, whether they practise the religion or not. After childhood, they retain a state of adolescence until one day, decades later, they are simply suddenly old. #spain #sociology #SpanishCulture

2023-04-17 10:19:51 UTC

My observations tell me that most people ask leading questions, whether they do it consciously or not. Most people already expect a certain answer or at least a certain form of answer when they ask a question. My goal is to stay ever-open to exploratory conversation. Neurolinguistic programming is for assholes.

2023-04-11 07:00:52 UTC

After shaving with my 'safety' razor, I adore the miniscule stings from the myriad tiny cuts when I rinse my face afterwards.

2023-04-09 09:37:32 UTC

Why is 'Real to Real Cacophony' one of my most preferred albums? Because I choose for it to be. #BareMusic #taste

2023-04-09 07:30:40 UTC

My opinion about the benzodiazepine epidemic in España is that 'La Gente Del Mar Mediterráneo' generally think that appearance is ultimately the most important aspect of living. This creates exponential exterior pressure to conform to perceived norms. Thus the excess of anxiety. I'm not personally affected, really, but it is apparent all around me. I laugh and laugh, but with a furrow on my brow.

2023-04-04 13:33:36 UTC

I'm trying to learn a little J every day - open my mind to a programming language way.

2023-03-31 11:41:23 UTC

Free association of words to name people they immediately remind me of.

2023-03-29 06:01:24 UTC

The act of simply writing a task down, and especially in ink (or pencil for you anachronistic types) increases the possibility of completing it (that day). The concept fascinates me.

2023-03-18 17:34:52 UTC

I'm amused that humans with Obessive Compulsive Disorder usually cannot stand each other simply because they are obsessive-compulsive about different things.

2023-03-14 22:04:07 UTC

A thorough search of my antiquated external hard drive revealed the voice messages from Hela I used for the Botanical Gardens piece. It will be elaborated and improved on for the so-called 'Electronic' album. #music #hela

2023-03-10 15:56:16 UTC

As an old friend who is now consigned to the wastelands of southern Arizona used to say: 'ANOTHER ONE!'

2023-03-10 15:54:59 UTC

Now I obliterate the old file with something explicately thurked. Let's try it.

2023-03-10 15:46:00 UTC

I seem to be testing the gemini 'twtxter', for lack of a better name currently.

2023-03-06 11:51:06 UTC

I've been awake for half an hour and I already feel the pressure around my eyes. I shall just have to deal with it and begin a semblance of a routine today - and get some creativity DONE.

2023-03-05 11:15:14 UTC

Blearily I attempt to concentrate on concentrating on Gibbet. I have no success. I shall listen to Christian's newest synthesizer noodlings instead. More later, I hope.

2022-12-19 09:43:12 UTC

The bass and vox are now integrated into Union, though the latter needs a few retakes. Now to wake the universe with a cold shower.

2022-11-08 08:16:44 UTC

English Breakfast resides in the pale green cup, waiting to be sipped or gulped or otherwise imbibed. Now to get back to work on Estrellas Oscuras and then Pony Ride. Fuck um.

2022-04-22 10:28:02 UTC

I have fixed the search engine for the http version of martenblog, as it was previously based on a now defunct MongoDB apparatus. #programming #martenblog

2022-04-12 17:07:51 UTC

I added percussion to the most 'ambient' part of A Parchment, grubbying up the 'ambience'. From the first, I'm paying quite a bit of attention to placement and movement in stereo space of each part. Fuck um. #JogMyAmnesia #music

2022-04-11 13:10:21 UTC

A Parchment is somewhat developed now. Should I leave it for my session with Matthew or come up with an ending sequence - an ambience reflecting the initial part? It's for Sweet Entropy to decide. #music #JogMyAmnesia

2022-04-01 07:14:46 UTC

I'm meticulously entering notes into the SQ-64 for the second UZ part of Billard Tournament. #music #NineSidedDie

2022-02-23 11:43:46 UTC

The ever changing piece of music related to the ever changing name (currently A Cubic Light Year of Sod) is slowly being pieced together. What I call the 'Magma part' is written, or at least mostly written. It sounds nothing like Magma. #music #NineSidedDie

2022-02-17 11:16:07 UTC

I eschewed much of the modulation I keyed in to Supercollider yesterday for some simple randomization of the filter cutoff & wave shape given a triangle wave on Mullah. I found a good fog hornish sound emitted by fiddling with the dry/wet control of the hall reverb. So the intro of A Cubic Lightyear of Meat is slowly fleshed out. I'm not anywhere close to satisfied with it, however. #music #NineSidedDie #ACubicLightyearOfMeat

2022-02-16 16:17:32 UTC

I'm pausing from writing in Supercollider the synth arps for the introduction of A Cubic Lightyear of Meat. Writing in this way is tedious. I need constant breaks. I need a quick CV sequencer for SBUP when I retrieve it.

2022-02-04 19:31:39 UTC

I have the gear that I shall take to Spain. What is left is only sufficient for practise, so no more recording until Europe! #music

2022-02-04 01:55:18 UTC

Olšanské Hřbitovy is in the state I'll leave it until settling into music making again in Spain. Much is still work in progress, but I'm satisfied with the skeleton. #music #ResidentBeatPoet #NineSidedDie

2022-01-28 00:01:43 UTC

I begun the arduous task of writing and recording 'tentative' parts to the second section of Olšanské Hřbitovy. The piece is becoming very involved. #music #ResidentBeatPoet

2022-01-24 22:06:24 UTC

Hoy es un día de vagancía. Thus, I have practised and I DID re-record the verse sections of I'm the One Flying, but otherwise, I feel as if I've been pressed into lassitude's eternal mud-pit. #music #lethargy

2022-01-24 03:28:53 UTC

I'm managed to expand Olšanské Hřbitovy to perhaps twice its length, though the latter half is badly underdeveloped. I continue to listen and take notes. #music #ResidentBeatPoet

2022-01-22 00:59:09 UTC

I've relearned and redone a bit of Olšanské Hřbitovy. I shall concentrate on the as of yet unwritten second half during the next few days (or WEEK, vole). I'm thinking to send a scratchier version to Kris earlier in the composition process to see what ideas he may come up with. #music #ResidentBeatPoet

2022-01-18 00:52:29 UTC

Deleriously lethargic day. My brain smites me. I cannot smite back! Two improves seeped out somewhere, and one is actually listenable. Fuck um. #music #improvisation #lethargy

2022-01-15 19:56:24 UTC

Miniature #4 'Precluded Poet' finished, a modal experiment with different pentatonics over minor and lydian chords. Renata bookends it. #music #BronzePomegranate

2022-01-15 16:15:34 UTC

For Full Spectrum Records, possibly my future nemesis, I've created a non-normalised version of #PaganPark. It sounds surprisingly good. I'll send it off possibly later today. #music

2022-01-11 18:38:23 UTC

Monobiopsychosis is finished. The mix is muddy, but that is ok for now. Overall, the guitar parts accentuate the lugubrious atmosphere. #music #BronzePomegranate

2022-01-10 21:28:28 UTC

The matra-bass I've LAID OUT is excellent. I'm not sure of my absolute groove capacity, but fuck um. #music #BronzePomegranate

2022-01-10 19:02:18 UTC

I'm slowly making my way through 'Monobiopsychosis', the third in the 'miniatures' series. My lethargy has been peaking the last few days. I have little desire to do ANYTHING. It's lamentable. #music #lethargy #BronzePomegranate

2022-01-09 00:05:50 UTC

I did another mix of Fehut Felu. I also redid the bass line during the 'transition'. Depending on what Chris does with his vocal part, I'm not sure much more can be done with this. It's WACKY. #music #PaganPark

2022-01-08 21:57:02 UTC

Podél Směrů is now on Bandcamp and Funkwhale for all the universe to absorb. #music #PodélSměrů

2022-01-07 20:45:07 UTC

Miniature #2 'Ptáci' is done. Oddly muted, it is! It seems like I didn't eq the highs correctly. That's fine. Time to move on. I'll remaster all of them at the end. #music #BronzePomegranate
