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.

Nothing fancy this year, not much time to devote to stuff like this when you have a job. But nonetheless, now that I have a few days break, I figured I should throw something together, because I do like to … 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

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.
Cuprum
So I recorded some noodling on my Mute Synth this afternoon, and for reasons unknown figured it might be worth sharing with people? Here you go, if you like bleeps and bloops and horrible “random” noises, this is a piece … Continue reading
