However, some friends off of here already know the situation, and it seems this place would read it charitably. (haven’t really shared the release anywhere else yet - apart from the message that went out with Bandcamp, where I of course didn’t include any of the background.)<br/><br/><a href="https://robertloganmusic.bandcamp.com/album/otherscapes-unreleased-works-2006-2026">https://robertloganmusic.bandcamp.com/album/otherscapes-unreleased-works-2006-2026</a><br/><br/>(Also, I already said this, but the artwork was by <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub18eqsd3zp4w0aarkycrt08gjm8nmg2l20c65yl660fel4ec92zsvsm3es82" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>The Happening Hot Dog Man</span> (<span class="italic">npub18eq…es82</span>)</a></span> - who offered his help in a wonderful way.

Three fairly long albums of mine came out between 2025 and 2026, and now here comes another collection. :D<br/><br/>Unlike those, which were intended to be listened through, this isn&#39;t really an album. I&#39;ve still grouped pieces into families and shaped a running order that makes a kind of sense, but there is no expectation it be heard start to finish. Dip in however you like.<br/><br/>All in all, I had around 20 hours of music to sort through.<br/><br/>One reason I&#39;m doing this now is that I suddenly had the inclination/energy to collate material. Also, however, two family members are currently going through a really difficult time, and any proceeds from this will go towards helping them. I&#39;m under no illusion that an unreleased collection is going to do anything enormous, but if the music can do a little good beyond itself too, that feels worthwhile.<br/><br/>Many thanks to <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub18eqsd3zp4w0aarkycrt08gjm8nmg2l20c65yl660fel4ec92zsvsm3es82" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>The Happening Hot Dog Man</span> (<span class="italic">npub18eq…es82</span>)</a></span> for his amazing artwork. 🙏<br/><br/>Any shares or support would be hugely appreciated.<br/><br/><a href="https://robertloganmusic.bandcamp.com/album/otherscapes-unreleased-works-2006-2026">https://robertloganmusic.bandcamp.com/album/otherscapes-unreleased-works-2006-2026</a> 2026-07-10T16:20:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdtpashj2w026qu8rp5fukxl9q2jgwpclmmv0ugdvvvhu04pdk4vszyqvs7nqfu6057uf52ga4krpp7hrnxwnf70zys37gsvxealtwr8nzcjec6pa If you have an ability to make music (or at least have at times made something resembling what could be considered &#39;music&#39;) - and are not literally currently prevented from doing so by life stuff / illness / looking after someone who&#39;s ill etc. - can I recommend you just do it? Inspiration can be overemphasised and romanticised - but sometimes the most inspired material didn&#39;t &#34;feel&#34; very inspired in the moment. Much can come of sessions that felt dutiful, even mechanical; the inspired feeling can even be noise - lovely when there, but not always signaling anything long-term.<br/><br/>Either way, you&#39;ll have made something new that didn&#39;t exist before, rather than not have. Which is pretty amazing, when you think about it. 2026-04-04T16:29:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8at6vflefqgwp2g7em2e60lc7j8jtlsqrms436y3c4yjje0hrgeszyqvs7nqfu6057uf52ga4krpp7hrnxwnf70zys37gsvxealtwr8nzcln3ja7 _Rhythm_ is a way of trusting the future.<br/><br/>This sounds poetic, but is also quite literal!<br/><br/>To entrain is to assume: something will happen again; it will happen around about when expected; it is safe to commit energy in advance.<br/><br/>It is a minimal form of trust.<br/><br/>Despair is characterised, in part, by a breakdown of such trust. The future becomes either threatening or blank.<br/><br/>Rhythm gently reinstates futurity.<br/><br/>A pulse says: you can lean forward; time will catch you. 2026-02-09T09:16:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyatf28mwwnvrxgjxpauusl2pewjrhseysmyqjr8x3uv23f9rjr2qzyqvs7nqfu6057uf52ga4krpp7hrnxwnf70zys37gsvxealtwr8nzcj2stul I’ve given up music to become a Belgian truck driver!
