Welcome to 2026

Hello folks,

It’s been a minute since you’ve heard from me. Here’s where things are.

I’ve had respiratory issues all my life and for the last four months or so have had increasing challenges breathing. The numbers looked ok but I couldn’t get air in. Long boring story, I suffered complete respiratory failure on Dec 11, 2025 and was only released from hospital on Jan 2, 2026 and while I am much better, the recovery period will take time I am told.

Lack of air impacted content creation but so too did my thinking on the subjects of music or instruments. I no longer think about gear at all, and rarely even about post processing tools. I am almost entirely focused now on the craft of creation and the changing industry.

This means that going forward I will be breaking the rules of modern media. I will be delivering less volume, but I hope more rich content. I am told to post several times a week, but more is never the same as good.

Thanks for all your support and I hope that you stick with me as we move ahead. If you have ideas or questions, please send them in. If it is of interest to you, time has proven it is likely to be of interest to others.

Cheers!

Ross
