The Musings Of Maars

The night and the silent water (at Bideford, Devon)

Made a multiplicity of cherry muffins and still had loads of batter left over so this miscellaneous chocolate monstrosity came into being! #cakesfordaysanddaysanddays 👨‍🍳 (at Bideford, Devon)

Whilst going through the Oasys to find files I need I came across some fun stuff Gez recorded when we were SUPPOSED to be working on our first album in 2007/2008. He put in a fair amount of effort and detail into this though so fair enough... #sonic #sonicthehedgehog #sega #megadrive #korgoasys88 #korg #mysticcavezone (at Bideford, Devon)

Epic Keyboard pyramid. Long day synthing... #korg #korgoasys88 (at Bideford, Devon)

Some adventures Pt.1

Orange moon looking like a sunset (not so much in the photo though) (at Northam, Devon)

This song was finished 4 years ago today, super proud of it & still amazed at the guest drumming from Kevin Talley (of Dying Fetus, Six Feet Under, Chimaira, Suffocation & so on!) It was also my first time using real live violins in a song too! Still You Remain - No Saviour #deathdoom #doommetal

I wonder what I was looking so smug about?? 🤣😂 #smuglyfboiii

Lez & I from May 2014. Time sure is flying by! #feelingoooooold

The healthy option.

This old picture perfectly sums up my (intended) creative endeavours for this weekend 🎼🎹 #lostinsynth #korg (at Bideford, Devon)

Just messin’ with some effects, Verb-y Octaver fun! 🎼Routine keeps me in line, helps me pass the time... 🎼 I always forget how nice this bass is to play 😍 (at Bideford, Devon)

Here’s my petty pet peeve of the day: I find it nearly impossible to listen to even the most amazing, wonderful rock based music if the drums are mixed to audience perspective rather than drummers perspective (unless it’s for an effect or other special reason)! We all love to air drum along to a good ol’ tom fill as if we are the drummer, so I find it immensely infuriating when everything is the wrong way around... 😠😡🤯😤😖😖🥁 #sadbuttrue #mixingmishaps #pettyproblems #hatstothelefttotheleft

So.Many.Band.Shirts/Hoodies!! Some of it has seen better days, some haven’t been worn since I was a teenager. I’m sure I’ve disintegrated just as many over the years through overuse as well... Also some pre-me Betas shirts that are hanging in there too! (at Bideford, Devon)

I have a lot to get done today... but then I found this flanger-y setting and yeah... of course this just had to be done! (at Bideford, Devon)
