It's by the very excellent artist Andreas Gysin (sort of a portfolio site), he works with ASCII and procedural art. Have a look at the site without the URL parameter on it: https://ertdfgcvb.xyz/
I came here for this comment! Always loved that psy dub sound (also OTT - Blumenkraft, and Nagual Sound Experiment's Invisible Movements) and particularly the hybrids that have come out of it recently. Most 'classic' psy trance stuff I find pretty boring to be honest.
Globular has done some distinctly psy dub albums in the last few years. And then on the bass/dubstep side, I'm hearing psy influences in releases by Om Unit (e.g. Acid Dub Studies) and also some of DjRUM's stuff.
Indeed, uncle Om is turning back to acid sounds (not so much psychedelic), but I totally agree that psydub is the logical progression for the psy* genres (don't kill me goa ppl, pls). to me the real progress in the psychedelic sounds is techno dub - a true psychedelic genre for the 21ct century. psytrance/progressive trance seem too 90s in composition and aesthetics to me.
I'd really have to disagree with you there! I've lived in Bristol for 4 years, having previously spent 8 years in London - people are I know are happy here and find it difficult to leave. I've never lived in such an uplifting, diverse, creative place as I do now (Easton, BS5).
Also worth mentioning (response to a comment above) that there's a lot of colourful houses and murals all over the city, not just on the bits you see on postcards...!
As a foreigner, Bristolians were the most congenial and welcoming neighbours I have had through out my time in the UK, and I moved around a fair bit in the past decades.
I still have very good friends (and memories) in Bristol.
Nothing but positive things to say from the city and from big hearted Bristolians. Like you say there really is a positive energy about the place. Truly gert lush!
I've suffered from this dilemma. I've kept an A5 (large?) softcover Moleskine as my main notebook for several years, but I always had this subtle fear about 'committing' something to a perfect-bound notebook, because I knew I wouldn't want to start ripping pages out. On the other hand, a cheap glue-bound or even spiral-bound notepad felt almost TOO disposable - I like to keep archives of notes and sketches in some sort of chronological order.
They feel disposable enough (partly the fact they are refillable makes me feel I'm not thinning down the notebook when I rip several pages out at once) but the way you can open the rings and transfer pages means that it's a great system for keeping notes together several years down the line - or even in a more permanent-feeling ring-bound binder. It's an absolute revelation for someone who has obsessed about notebooks!
