Who am I?
Hello Internet. I am Paul F. Ferguson. This is my blog. I include the F. because I want to distinguish myself slightly from all the other Paul Fergusons on the internet, of which there are many. It also deservedly puts me in the company of other such presidential fellows such as Chester A. Arthur and John Q. Adams.
I currently live in Glasgow, Scotland. It's okay. I wouldn't mind living somewhere else though.
I use this blog to post things of various interest including thoughts, interests, music reviews, game reviews, photos, whatever I feel like. Sometimes I talk about my life, but it's not that interesting, so mostly other stuff.
I am going to redesign it in 2011, mark my words.

Birds in the sky you know how I feel. Anyway, look, it’s 2012 already. I know. Terrifying. About a year ago I made the bold claim that within a year I would be in Canada. I’m totally not in Canada. … Continue reading

More of the same really. Music made by stretching guitar improv noise. Not very exciting. Sorry. It’s easy to do, and I’m lazy, and I kind of like the sound of it. Probably the last one of these though, that’s … Continue reading

It’s easy to be musically prolific when you find ways to make 22 minutes of noise out of 12 seconds of actual programmed music. The source material here is distorted choir samples. This is then stretched to 100 times its … Continue reading
Not Drinking? Part Two: Now with Drinking
More ramblings are due, I feel. Last Saturday night I had a mixed experience with alcohol. I consumed none, the people around me consumed a lot, and things quickly became strange for me. I made a vow that night that … Continue reading

About a year ago I recorded a little guitar experiment called Cloudpiercer. It was extremely quick to record (in fact, playing it took less time than the total running time of the track) and I enjoyed it so much that … Continue reading
Not drinking?
I apologise for this stupid essay, but here goes… I just got back from a night out which was really intense for me, and completely outside my comfort zone. I’m glad I went, but I think that the whole idea … Continue reading

More Mute Synth noise, but this time much shorter. I’m finding cool ways to squeeze a lot of low-end grit out of it, simply by using both oscillators.
