Time to grow up and talk pedals, effects, former session musicianship (as a drummer!) and work life balance. Tom Jepson - now a designer - will be our guide through all this. And more, like: affinities and differencies between designing and music, studio performance vs. life performance, etc.
And, yes, if you are in guitar-centered ambient music you should check his waves project here:

A little bit more formally:
"Tom Jepson is multi-instrumentalist and designer living in Nottingham in the UK. Performing under his own name - and also the banner ‘Waves’ - he performs live, semi-improved ambient music with veins of melancholy and nostalgia running through it. Along with being a family man, Tom’s a coffee devotee and tattoo enthusiast in his spare time".
