Ok managed to make some more today.
Everyone who has received an edition number from me: yours is now in the post and should be with you in the next 7 working days or sooner.
I've got a couple more sets of templates printed out but no more time until next week - then that'll be the lot I think. If you want one, get in quick.
Fingers crossed they survive the wilds of international shipping, customs and tariffs... 🤞

Have you ever wanted Key 13 music on physical media? No? What if it came in a beautifully designed box set of 3 mini-CDs?
Still no?
What if it was free. Completely free. How about then?!!
Key 13: Sun + Sea + Aardvarks mini CD Box set.

The full set, printed and burned.
Aligning the CD artwork in the printer seems to be a bit random. The same setting doesn't always produce identical results - must be something to do with the way the tray is inserted which is annoying.
They do look beautiful though, if I do say so myself!
Now I just need a mini box slip to put them in.

If you previously downloaded the "Eleusis - Prehistory of Key 13" release, you might want to download it again (sorry!)
Apparently the original uploads had a lot of high frequency noise/hiss which was irritating to people with better ears than I have (I can't hear high frequencies at all).
Many thanks to @retech and @desolationpark for lending me their ears while I managed to eliminate the issues.
Anyway, new uploads should fix it:

Oh, did I mention there's a tiny little new Key 13 track on the latest #BonkWave release?
I got stuck halfway through making this one, so did that rather clichéd thing of "adding moar cowbell".

I also brutally chopped up some of @Loki_Laufeyiarson 's samples in there as well.

It's #MusiciansDay - am I a musician? Who knows.. I generally only use virtual instruments, does that count?
But I do make some things that are approximately music, as Key 13. In the last couple of months of 2025 I made some tracks using a real instrument, of sorts - although perhaps it's more of an expensive toy.
"audius consumed" was made entirely on a Teenage Engineering OP-XY - and while it starts with me just playing around, I got better...

You can find the other 4 volumes here (scroll down):
.. all completely free to stream and download!
Exclusive to #Faircamp at the moment. If you would be more likely to listen to them elsewhere, let me know.

Final one of these for now - new/old Key 13 release: Uncooked 05: Misfits.
Free streaming and download, just as with the others:
https://music.key13.uk/uncooked05-misfits/
This one has all the tracks that didn't fit anywhere else. Oddly enough it might be the strongest of the lot!
The idea of 'uncooked' is that they are demo quality but I did end up doing light remixing + remastering on some of these.
And hot off the press with the new #Faircamp 1.5 release as well.

Included on this release is "Unexpected Petunia", the "medieval reggae" (sorry!) track I knocked up in about two hours one Saturday afternoon 5 years ago and have never really liked.
But others seem to, and it made an appearance on the recent Spring #BonkWave live streams in the lobby playlist.

Sneaking out another Uncooked release - "04: Early Efforts" - this time of the very first Key 13 tracks from 2020. Some of these even predate the Key 13 name, originally released as "keeftoons".
https://music.key13.uk/uncooked04-early-efforts/
I wasn't supposed to be remastering/remixing any of these but I ended up remixing Hands Face Space a bit and remastering Theme from "D.C. Fever". Oh well - as usual I'm not sure they're any better.
The rest are "as they come" - demo quality.

Did you know that Key 13 sometimes has a heavier side?
The seven archive tracks on "Uncooked 03: Semi-Metal" are examples of that harder edge.
As with the other "uncooked" releases these tracks are demo-quality, taken as they are - although I did tweak a couple for this release. If you think any of them deserve more attention (i.e. a proper mix, further work, official release), let me know.

Many thanks to the amazing @mixtape who have just started serialising the Pretentious Incongruity album!
Starts here, with, of course, what else but Solarpunk Grazers: https://nham.co.uk/2025/05/solarpunk-grazers/

"Misaligned Aardvarks" released!

Exclusively on #mirlo is a new Anniversary Remaster of "Solarpunk Grazers", last year's contest entry.

Free, but please donate - see next post.

How did I miss 'Hic et Nunc' from my #Faircamp?! Oh well, sorted now.. obviously no-one noticed!
https://music.key13.uk/hic-et-nunc/
Right, that's a bunch of music 'admin' done for today. Release prepped and ready for tomorrow - Misaligned Aardvarks with mystery bonus track:)

Looks like The Island of Nothing's entry "Misaligned Aardvarks" has drawn number 72 of 72 in the #fedivision list this year.. hopefully some folks will start from the bottom up! 😬 Oh well, someone had to be there.
Wish me luck!
And best of luck to everyone else, looks like it's all gone live a bit ahead of schedule!
