Are you finished yet?
Read the note →: Are you finished yet?A question I get asked quite often about my music? Especially when I broadcast out monthly “finished” music. Well, it’s complicated! What I do each month is warp up the month’s music and upload it to SoundCloud into (what I call) the monthly Incubator. There it sits, in its rather raw form whilst I listen…

Read the note →: The Pottz 2018 ScorecardA question I frequently get asked is “what the hell do you do”? So with the year all wrapped up, I thought I’d look back at what I intended to do, and what I actually did. [Please excuse the crazy formatting on his post…iPad constructed while travelling, so it’s somewhat limited!] The #1 Goal for…

Monthly Notez from November
Read the note →: Monthly Notez from NovemberWhew-eeee, it’s almost the end of 2018. I’ve been cracking through the production process of late. I’m using ideas that borrow from the Agile software development approach. Shoot me a reply email if you’re interested in the details (warning, only for the geeks out there).
