Lots of people have gotten famous by creating shitty 2nd rate music (Kiss). Maybe that's the key. Can I have your autograph?

Those of you keeping apace of the music on my website may have noted a series of ambient tunes collected under the title of 'Oddzial'. They were largely made as a joke for someone who does the whole 'healing hands' thing; she wanted it as background music to her weird hippy nonsense. I obliged.

Every piece is eactly 50 mins long, which is the length of time she takes for a session. Most of them took 30 mins to create, mostly being a series of odd-lengthed loops strung together. They are all uniformly awful.

Then I saw this:

A Finnish radio station has run a special on them on 4th April. Do I have the heart to tell them?
