Martin's Printer Boogie
Because of my printer's temporary home, perched on a loudspeaker, this is what happens every time I click "Print". The song is "Searchlight" by Aloha.

New Music from ... 1997
Music I wrote, recorded (all tracks), and published in 1997. It's from what people tell me is my "best" album (Storm Animal - an anagram of Martin Lomas). I disagree; my fave album is "Loose" (all electronic & algorithmic). But "Loved By A Queen" is a decent song that may well be resurrected for The Garden Distrikt, or even sold to a name musician/singer.

New Music from 1997: P F Empathy
"P F Empathy" 1 997 Music by Martin Lomas. So named due to my love of the Italian prog-rock band PFM . All tracks recorded and produced by me. The two solos were originally electric guitar, which I then purposely allowed audio-to-MIDI software to inaccurately translate, feeding the results into software synths.

Musings - (1) THINK.
( Note: Be aware that the following was completely ad hoc, and as I write this sentence [in chunks], I am also editing this post in three other places, and creating two other new posts. I have an interesting brain. ) I'm going to take a big risk here. I am absolutely determined to reveal the truth about myself. When I put the truth on display to strangers, they are typically interested and engaged, and eventually, left behind. When do I the exact same with anyone that knows me, they almost always assume that I am merely having a mental health moment. I have indeed been diagnosed a couple of times in the past (different things), yet I always feel that I'm the sanest person in the room. The previous sentence isn't strictly true - I have met saner people. But those that know me are not saner people, that I know of. This bit may be more "radical honesty" than love. The truth is probably in my own words. Look - who am I to being "doing" anything to mysel...
