Les Denis 2025
Here's a couple of action videos and rough tunes for you from this year's weekend on the Old Kent Road
Below is a rough mix of the song we're singing
And here's something I did on the Sunday morning while in bed in the van on my handheld sampling machine. I think the idea is to do something more rad with the monkey noises.

Below is my favourite tune from this year's meet-up!
(I'm the one noodling around on the atonal synth)
Here's hoping lounge music for jaded construction workers will be the next big thing.
And here's something more cheery with an accompanying live videoette below:
(I'm playing penny whistle)
Les Denis 2023
Below are some delights from last year's meet-up in Bristol
Action Shots!
The woodwork shop where we spent the weekend
Jona and I looking sad at cables for some reason
Unfortunately none of the action shots from the weekend showed much in the way of action, and everyone seems to have disappeared, unless they were all hiding behind the camera.
Music!
Here's a few of the 12 hits we put together
This first one was mainly cobbled together by me using various field recordings and other bits and pieces which no-one knew what to do with
Here's a more tuneful one featuring some of my finest virtuoso keyboard noodling
No album could be complete without an instruction manual of some sort...
This here is a sensitive number
And this here is not
If you want all the above and more you can
Artwork!
And finally, below are some initial attempts at using AI to design an album cover.
Here's hoping we won't be using any of them for the final artwork.
Les Denis 2022
A new tune for you...
(or two)
Here's one from the year's Les Denis meet-up.
That's me singing through a vocoder pretending to be a sexy robot.

While I'm embarrassing myself, here's a little video which was uploaded to the whatsapp group. It's an ensemble piece with yours truly on drum machine and synthesizer:
It was uploaded with the title 'Mr. Fingers', although I think we can agree there are other body parts besides fingers which might best describe what I look like there.
And if you fancy hearing a rough mix of the catchy tune we're playing in the video, it is here
OK. There's more general Les Denis stuff
Otherwise that's it for now.
Thanks for reading!
