I prepped the recording of my #NHAMFest26 stream before I censored myself. Should be uploaded to #NHAM and #TIBtv eventually.
Back to intense napping.

Phew. That epic day of live action and friendly crowds puts another year's fest in the books.
This is what community sounds like!
We'd love to hear some of your reflections, thoughts, surprises, discoveries, etc. Use #NHAMFest26 or cool to tag me.
Big ups to the artists and presenters for putting themselves out there, the venue hosts admins and mods, and #owncast and #peertube for platforms of agency.
I shall retire back to the hammock now. Support an indie artist today. Stay vertical.

NHAMFest ‘26: behind the scenes (a little)
NHAMFest ‘26 was a huge success this year, and was great for bringing together two of my favorite spaces: the VRChat music community and the Fediverse music community.sockpuppet.band
Missed my show? I’ll stick my #NHAMFest26 recording up somewhere for people to stream at their leisure when I’m back home next week.
What a day! 🤩 20 hours straight through and I managed to catch every song/poem/talk/animation from every performance at #NHAMFest26!
Huge shout out to the ex-RFF nHamster for the incredible energy, enthusiasm and hard graft to have made it happen; To @limebar and sknob for all their work behind the scenes; To everyone who came to enjoy the shows; And most of all to all of the performing artists (listed below) for making it such a rip-roaring success!
Follow @nham for continued updates on what all of these talented folk are up to in this 'ere Fedi music scene. 🙌

And cheers to our friends at @rstv for the delightfully bad selections for another memeful watch party. There were geese! well goose!
Great start to #NHAMFest26
Now get ready to join the parade for a whole stack of amazing live music and more...
Delighted that the animated Texts With Void videos from @limebar have had their release. These were all his idea, taking my audio recordings with my blessing, and they turned out so good! More Texts With Void fun on my show later on during #NHAMFest26!

• The Cleaning-Up Rag, a tale of woe and Hammerbarn orders gone awry.
• See Me Now, an anthem about defeating adversity that you’ll swear is by the band 1927.
• Reviewer 2, a creepy gothic horror about academic peer review.
Also old favourites, including Big Boat Stuck [with a new verse!], Clank! I Just Thought of the Romans Again! [with a new verse!], Space Parity [“I’m on Hold to Telecom”], and many more. With a guest video appearance* by none other than Void, and candid cat content.

Free to attend in your browser or media player. The venues are community and artist run and chat moderated!
Full schedule is at fest.nham.co.uk
Each event will announce the next stop and this account will post each event at -10 minutes.
Bound to be something to discover, delight and surprise in this wildly talented and eclectic lineup:
1/
Friends, Romans, Fedifolk, lend me your ears (and eyes). The NHAM online festival starts tomorrow, offering a plethora of musical and other delights, featuring many of the lovely and talented people here in the Fediverse, streaming between the 26th and 28th of August.
My close personal showbiz pals Roberta Fidora and INPC are included in this stellar line up, so catch them if you can.
Roberta will be kicking things off with a special Animation Array, setting the bar high with a selection of weird and wonderful animation, 19:00 UTC tomorrow.
This is the Fediverse at its finest. Creative, community focussed and independent.
Hey y'all, just as a reminder I'll be performing an hour-long set as part of #NHAMFest26! And I'll be doing it from VRChat, so if you're on that platform you can come see me "in person" as well!
And I may be debuting a couple of songs from my upcoming album, #Misfits!
Check the full schedule at fest.nham.co.uk/
This Wed/Thurs is #NhamFest26!
24 hours of music and visuals from the vast creative wonderland of the Fediverse!
On Thursday the 27th @ 22:00 UTC, 6pm Toronto time, it’s me, bgm (he/him) and my awesome son George (they/them) singing Canadian originals that skew sort of dirty-folk? a bit messy pop? Lotsa harmonies and guitars. And a few covers. I’m suspending my tariffs on U.S. folks for just this hour so they can enjoy my music also. But then they’re right back. Sorry.

I suppose the cat's out of the bag. I'll be at #NHAMfest #NHAMfest26, with "Live in Absentia", a prerecorded* concert of original music, performed and recorded lovingly and amateurishly over the last four days and inexpertly mixed and edited by a complete novice (me).
Streams Thursday 27 August 2026 at 10.00 UTC (20.00 AEST, 18.00 AWST, 12.00 CEST, 06.00 EDT) at fest.nham.co.uk/ (no registration required, just drop in at the appointed time).
My show's an hour long, but come and go as you like, and please stay for as much of the rest of the 24-hour Fedi artist showcase as you can. Be amazed at the talent that the Fedi has to offer!
* I'll be at a conference but maybe I'll be able to join in the chat.
I cannot rest until some "big" accounts, publicatons, groups et al tag #NHAMFest26 or link fest.nham.co.uk , or quote or boost some posts about this distributed online festival streaming parade of talented artists, makers and communicators.
Many speak a lot about wanting more positivity, human art, discovery and community building in the feed and world.
Well HERE it is and here we are. Lend a voice so we don't lose ours. Support indie artists doing things on platforms of more agency!
Just over a week to go to #NHAMFest26! Hearing and seeing some amazing things being planned and tested from participants.
There is a lot of talk in the feed about where is the human art and where is the community vibe? Well we are here and it'd be great if there was as much talk about actual things happening as the concepts.
These events are a big effort for the rad artists and hosts. Help make it a party. Explore the schedule and invite your circles and neighbours.
Friends!
<2 weeks to #NHAMFest26

Mic check! We're presenting a fresh double episode Animation Array as a watch party during #NHAMFest26. More material is needed.
Are you, or do you know a visual artist in the animator, illustrator, stop motion, puppeteer, mixed media and adjacent realms with weird, wild, wonderful short form video?
Get the word out, have a look and submit some clips for a wicked fun community show. Tell friends and creative connections far and wide. ARRAY!

I am super amped to announce the next live concert, online, free and easy to attend in your browser just like the other recent shows. If you could use some dark disco in your life or perhaps are a bit synth curious...
control.org presents: cycles
28th August 0100 UTC (or 27th Aug time zone dependent)
at: live.theindiebeat.fm/
Join me on a live walk through 30+ years of control.org. There will be tracks never played live before, songs from every release, debuts of tracks from the upcoming album ERADICATE, obscure remixes, and remade tracks from the cassette era for another new release called REGENERATE!
Apologies to my European and UK friends whom show the heck up and I usually cater to prime time. This concert is part of the #NHAMFest26 streaming festival and I took a time that isn't so early in my morning. This means Asia Pacific and the Americas, please get amongst it and join in the chat for a good cathartic stomp.
Hope to see you at the show.
I have made some changes to the micro black box theatre I broadcast from to freshen things up. I also have two other custom live productions under development and in the pipe.
As always, the catalogue, with new stuff adding soon, is free or donate what you can if you can at:
music.control.org
If you have the desire and means you can donate for a "ticket" and be an advanced member of the Gaffer Tape Appreciation Society. The shows run on 64% adhesives and hacks. It helps me keep the studio warm and develop and deliver more free for all live events in solidarity.
