GABA

A present to myself, its true significance wrapped in tendrils of fading awe and wonder. My vintage Moomin clock forlornly tells me it's my birthday. I have reached my half century of fairy tales and gritty reboots.

Reaching my half century seems a good time to reflect on gaba and this will be the last episode of the podcast as I embark on new adventures in sound and fiction. Thank you to all who have championed and reviewed the show 🙏🏼.

If you have found solace in 5 years of sleep tales and soundscapes and over 300 episodes, you can show your support by making a donation of your choice at gaba.life.

What follows is a somewhat kitsch, somewhat trippy, hopefully uplifting soundscape of memories of the last half century.

Please do follow me on Instagram @adammaxwellmartin where I hope to be more Reel and Meme’y.

love&kindness, that’s what it’s all about.

George Clooney run we pray,

Let Biden bide his twilight daze.

George Clooney for President I say,

Cos kicking Trump’s ass is the only way.

George Clooney come what may,

You gotta run and save the day.
