ARTIST STATEMENT

As of January 21st 2026 Alan Emslie, Exowst Scotland, Joby Longyin, MSLi 69, Plastic Noose, Somnambulistic Films & Music & Soft Monster are not on ANY social media except YouTube. Any pages you find outside of the official websites, Bandcamp pages and YouTube channels are nothing to do with the artist. The artist has never used AI to make music and never will. The only use of AI in music deemed acceptable to the artist is online AI audio mastering and AI videos. Moving forward in 2026 AI seems more and more irrelevant to the artist. And back to the old debate…does analog sound better than digital? A few decades of chip design can’t complete with millions of years of evolution. Analog sounds better than digital, even if you don ‘t realise it. Yet!
