  • End of Year Update

    Have spent last few months updating & optimising the performance system,
    based on my learnings from the valuable experience of playing 2 Falmouth EOMNs.
    Also improving the current songs & working to add more .
    Have NOT been updating this website as I had hoped .
    Have also not finished “WhaleSonging” studio performance video ,
    planned as the “hard launch” of BoomBazzle project ,
    so that is the plan for start of 2026 .

    Belated July EOMN Report

    It was great to play out another 2 songs ,
    although a technical problem curtailed live bass playing ,
    so performance was electronic musician style.

  • Debut success @ Falmouth EOMN

    Overall the debut performance was a success ;
    Hardware plan worked well , surviving transportation & 10 min setup .
    Audience seemed to enjoy the 2 songs , with dancing & much appreciation .
    Performance system worked , & when the first loop recorded came back in time
    it was a great feeling .

    Some issue with onstage sound , couldn’t hear the mix clearly enough ,
    which affected my bass playing & inhibited much dubby fx jamming .
    FOH sound was fine for audience , & video clips seem to show ,
    but lesson learnt I will be trying IEMs next time .

    Thanks to all for a great night ,
    back again in a few months I believe , with 2 different songs …

  • BoomBox in final stages

    Getting ready to Bazzle .

    Almost finished customising the BoomBox , in a smaller case than previously shown .
    XTouch Compact sits on raised shelf (hopefully adding bracing) , Lauchpad Xs stored underneath . Monitor is removed from stand in middle to show Babyface interface on top of MacMini in top left corner , with XLR outputs top right.
    USB hubs & cabling need final fixing , but it’s working

  • Bamboozled until BoomBazzle struck !

    Conceived by the playful abstraction of my own mind ,
    having longtime been searching for a name that referenced bass & ideally electronica, & maybe sounded Cornish-y,
    the twisting of “bamboozle” to create “boombazzle” was a kiss from the Muse .

    Tentative googling revealed , unlike so many previous hopeful ideas dashed on the rocks of already existing search results ,
    there was no existing user of the boombazzle name for a musical entity.

    Domain .com name, BandCamp & FaceBook all remarkably  available for the registering ,
    I assumed the artistic identity of BoomBazzle –
    hoping to live up to the Boom & dazzle with the Bazzle .

  • Welcome to BoomBazzle
