The 4th and final 'Thirteen' album is called 'Resolve', and is out now on all the usual platforms

Written, recorded and mixed at home over the past 2 years, I can't think of a better way to wrap up a project that had its first release 13 years ago!

@pumpkinpalx Wish I had seen your tweet first

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@electricalWSOP Fantastic to see such a clear and compassionate perspective, it applies in far more contexts than just producing records.

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@AlkisLiv Eagerly awaiting this, if ‘Barriers’ was anything to go by

@phlaimeaux multipack Double Deckers are compatible with my bike frame, this is the happiest day of my life

@blindoldfreak @WeAreElektron On the topic of tools used, I'm really curious to know what flavour of 303 you used for these Ritmo albums. Original? TB-03? Devilfish? Other?!

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@blindoldfreak @Bandcamp Ritmo I & II have already become my staples as music-to-code-to, looking forward to giving these a spin too

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@emika_records Sound advice...I’m midway through tidying up Carnage-Corner for exactly that reason!

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

This is great news, really enjoy these records that stretch what you expect to hear from a TB-303. I'm curious, @blindoldfreak , are you using a devilfish/original/reissue?

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

More soundscape quality from @blindoldfreak . I wonder does this one use a 303 in ways you've never heard before?!

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

For any fans of peak Wipeout (2097/3), @R8Games just released an AG racer that’s genuinely of the same calibre. More than worth the wait, @PacerGame is incredible

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@emika_records Those numbers are just massive, any idea why it took off to such an extent?

I mean, aside from it being an excellent piece of music, of course!

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@blindoldfreak Can you imagine how interesting it'll be if they decide to do a 20th Anniversary release similar to 'Ok Not Ok'?! The discarded bits-and-bobs would be absolutely fascinating

[Alkis Livathinos @AlkisLiv]

Today I'm releasing "Barriers". A piano piece I've hold on to for almost two years now, an example of the self imposed creative barriers I've been trying to break and share more of my music with you (more on that later). Enjoy! https://t.co/WJ0C5zh2Oi

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@AlkisLiv Very, *very* nice

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@R8Games I don't mind the delay in the slightest, multiplatform releases must be a nightmare to coordinate.

I've admired your team's work ever since Wip3out in 1999, along with the @disinfoTDR visual style, so very eager to see what you've put together this time!

@Rubberbandits I know there’s room for a *lot* more improvement, but Coillte have started a fairly decent 40-year plan to convert the Dublin mountains to native mixed forestry : https://t.co/Lkz2KaEJoj

https://t.co/C4GGIMTleR More unbelievable good stuff from @IsaacDelusion , been hooked ever since “Midnight Sun” in 2013

[Cormac Phelan @aarvo1]

@bit_shifter_ Her songwriting was _massively_ under appreciated. Always had really tasty chord progressions, “Up and Down Around” was Beatles-level tuneful
