dronejournal: march is up for listening and download now. If it feels like 5 minutes since the last one you’ll have to forgive me. The last one was late – this one is on time. So in theory there’ll be a full month till the next one. I won’t promise it’ll arrive on time –…

BANDCAMP: https://jamiephilpinjones.bandcamp.com/album/dronejournal-february AMPWALL: https://ampwall.com/a/jamiephilpinjones/album/dronejournal-february I started this monthly mixtape project to work through some stuff, both in a personal and artistic sense.

(Mr Socks likes to help) The Being Afraid went live on Twitch sometime on Saturday night. I ended up not trying to promote it on socials as a) it was the first time going live and was destined to be rough as hell and b) I’d decided not to until I had a sudden change…

(Cat picture unrelated) This Saturday (18/10/2025) I’ll be doing my first live stream as The Being Afraid. It’ll be around 40-50 minutes of semi-improv ambient/drone with me and my eremition board and will feature some kind of extra visuals cleaved from previous stuff I did for Dissonance Radio that I’ll be slowly moulding into an…
