p.s. Hey. So, I heard back from my hosting site. Their technical crew, which is based in Indonesia, refused to work on the site because it has ‘adult content’. Another technician associated with the site says he checked the verification function and couldn’t find anything wrong with it. He said I should contact Cloudflare, which I have already done several times with no response. Long story short, until/if I can find a way to fix the problem, I fear that people who are having trouble commenting will have to continue to use the tricky methods you’ve been using. Obviously, quite angering, and I’m very sorry. ** jay, Hi. Glad you liked the Mordant Music, and the T. Moore. That whole T. Moore album is very good. Cloudflare is being besieged with complaints from people and site maestros from all over the world, so I would think they’ll fix the bug, but I would think they would have done that months ago. What’s that VR game you’re playing? Sounds fascinating. All my friends with VR set ups are in the States, so delayed satisfaction for me. Really fascinating about understanding the thought processes and thereby eschew the emotional aspect. I think I think about that same thing in some way with my writing, albeit without articulating it so well to myself. IOW, thank you! Big day, I hope. ** James, Hi, James. It’s pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am also aesthetically and emotionally beholden to Phil Elverum’s stuff. I sort of do the blog the way I do because I guess I like it to be sort of baffling. Maybe because most blogs are the opposite. Thanks about ‘Closer’. I think the little queer literary niche is wide open to your involvement, so welcome. Are you a writer? If so, what do you write, or what is it like? No, you have already fit in here perfectly, so feel very free to hang out and speak and be spoken to as much as you like. Best wishes right back to you! ** BA, I like this moniker. It’s like almost a sheep sound and almost like Bank of America’s nickname at the same time. I’m glad/relieved that you got back in. And with a new Play Therapy v2.0 to boot! I have so mucho catch up on, PT-wise, it’s crazy. But I’m about to erase the lack. BA, formerly _Black_Acrylic and officially Ben Robinson, has a new episode of his key and butt/mind-stirring musical podcast up and available. Here. Or, in his juicier words, ‘Play Therapy v2.0 is a corridor and the corridor is Time. It surrounds all things, and it passes through all things. But you can’t see it. Only sometimes. And it’s dangerous. You cannot enter into Time. But sometimes Time can try to enter into the present. Break in. Burst through and take things. Ben ‘Jack Your Body’ Robinson will show you how.’ ** James Bennett, Hey, James, great to see you! Thanks about the NYC reading. Yeah, the atmosphere was pretty amazing. And, yes, still kind of shocked about Gary Indiana’s passing. I’m glad you’re back on the writing horse, though I’m sure the writing was probably beavering away in at least the back of your mind this whole time. Oh, I think I mostly listen to music on earphones. Except when I’m out and somewhere where music being broadcast publicly. Mostly I think I just listen, but since my only music source is my computer, I do scroll around whilst listening sometimes if it’s ambient-y kind of music. I never wear earphones when I’m and about. I’m very into absorbing wherever I am and studying the people around me. I am interested when people are wearing earphones to imagine what they’re listening to and studying the effect that whatever they’re hearing is having on their faces and demeanors. I only use my phone for calls, texts, taking photos/videos and occasionally for GPS help, but that’s it. I resist giving my phone too much power over me. So, we’re kind of similar? I hope you’re well too. What are you writing/working on? ** kier, Hi! Yes, Daufødt are kind of a punky Norwegian band. Something about that live clip charmed me. Wow, I don’t have fridge magnets. How ridiculous. I’m going to hunt some. Wow, cool. My day … I ended up not going to the reading, so I’ll have to figure out what that book is like some other way. And since it’s in French, that won’t be easy. I just worked and emailed and stuff mostly. Stuff re: our film got a little heated and dangerous yesterday, so today will be a lot of about trying to get through that. There’s a big, comprehensive James Turrel show on the outskirts of Paris, and maybe I’ll sneak over to that today. Hope springs eternal, etc. あなたの忠実な友人からの心からの挨拶, me. ** Lucas, Yes, I have listened to the Pharmakon, as you can tell. It is great. Good about the productive doctor encounter. Strange that you need a prescription for iron over there. What’s that about? But the French are weirdly restrictive about certain things too. You’re Emo-izing, yay! And, wow, next weekend? Crazy. Great. Time is so strange, isn’t it. I greatly look forward to that. Reading … I just finished this novel ‘Adorable’ by this Swedish writer Ida Marie Hede, and I really liked it. You? ** Steve, So sorry about the emergency. Immense luck and hopes to you about that. I’m happy the gig spoke to you. No, I haven’t heard the new Tyler. A bit wary. But the album cover is pretty interesting at least. Let me know how the Carax is. I still haven’t seen it. ** Tyler Ookami, You know Furze? Cool. I really think he must be being intentionally funny. If not, yikes. The Yara Asmar stuff really sets a strange, particular mood. Exactly, Tobias Bradford would be a home haunt’s ultimate dream date. I’ll try to find what I can of Anoushé Shojae-Chaghorvand’s work. I’m very intrigued obviously. Slightly more technically upscale work of that sort, but I have a galerie show of Jon Kessler’s animatronic artworks coming up tomorrow, I thinks. Thanks, Tyler! ** Dominik, Hi!!! My obvious and only pleasure. It does sound disorienting, yes. Maybe too much so? Only one way to find out. Good, write that song and get your stage persona figured out post-haste! Are Converse shoes hard to buy or extremely pricey? I’m completely out of it about shoes and which brands are the trendy, covetable ones. I literally never look at people’s shoes. I have no idea what shoes anyone I know wears. It’s kind of strange, really. Love pre-enacting the moment you will slip into those Converse shoes in 3D animation, G. ** HaRpEr, In agreement about the Mount Eerie. I’m so happy you liked the Roussel post. I don’t know why I love it so much. Well, actually I do. ‘How I Wrote Certain of My Books’ is a must. It’s so great! And it has a wonderful intro by John Ashbery, no less. Exactly about the unexpected inspiration. I’m just trying to stay very attentive and hungry. Your supervisor does sound kind of ideal. Great, score. I’m excited to hear how the creative project goes. ** Justin D, Your VPN trick worked, thank goodness. Music-only jags can be very fruitful, though, at least. Enjoy that while it lasts? We’re teetering on the possibility that the coast will become clear for our film, and, god, I hope it tips over in the right direction. Lovely to see you. What else is up? ** Right. For whatever reason I decided to restore this old, kind of possibly fun and diverting post for you today, so check it out at your leisure. See you tomorrow.

______________
Mauricio Moquillaza Audio sebastiansuarez.net-Video
‘Emerging from Lima’s experimental music scene, Mauricio Moquillaza is also a bassist who has developed his sound practice at the intersection of noise and free improvisation. He is the founder of the collective Deshumanización, which has served as a platform to showcase a new generation of experimental music artists in the city. This perspective is crucial to understanding his work with the synthesizer, which he views as an extension of the spontaneous nature of improvisation. Consequently, his pieces have an irreproducible quality and explore the ongoing tension between control of the instrument and its generative possibilities.’ — Buh Records

 

______________
Pharmakon Methanal Doll
‘The album stems from a profound disgust with humanity’s dysfunctional relationship with the environment and other life forms. It explores the loneliness resulting from this broken bond and challenges us to acknowledge our personal and systemic responsibility. In grappling with grief and loss on both personal and global scales, Margaret sought solace in the idea of rebirth through death, celebrating the beauty of regeneration through decay. However, she had to confront the stark reality of the disconnection from the earth under oppressive systems. Pharmakon is here imagining a path where the final act is to give back what was received from creation, offering our lives and deaths to sustain existence.’ — Sacred Bones

 

______________
Mong Tong Fire Wind Wheel
‘Mong Tong is a Taiwanese psychedelic music band formed by brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi. The name “Mong Tong” is derived from the brothers’ childhood nickname, which can mean something totally different in different languages from Burmese, Cantonese to Chinese. Mong Tong’s music is heavily influenced by Southeast Asian culture, including its mythology and folklore, as well as 60s and 70s psychedelic music. Their sound is characterized by hypnotic rhythms, dreamy melodies, and otherworldly atmospheres.’ — SXSW

 

______________
Mordant Music Soft Plastics
‘When I finally lowered the Mordant Music portcullis after 20 years of sauntering alongside the mainstream I signed off with an EMS-based album entitled Mark of the Mould several tracks from which I re-worked for a Sony/KPM online-only library music release entitled Synthi Spores…during the ensuing C-19 castaway phase I composed a further hefty batch of library-style tunes intended for a mooted album with Sony/KPM, which was looking distinctly likely until my contact there vamoosed and corporate ‘reshuffles’ left the music abandoned and huddled in a folder on my desktop – classic ‘industry’ fayre I’ve witnessed many times and KPM itself has now moved St. Elsewhere…enter CiS, who had also previously re-released the Dead Air album and an eMMplekz 12” , to resuscitate ’n’ rally my underscores ’n’ jingles with their renowned gusto…myself and Phil Heeks fashioned a classic KPM-style ‘1000 Series’ sleeve and a random web pop-up provided the ad-hoc title (I was searching for raw plugs at the time)…I’ve made untold library tracks over the years for firms such as Boosey & Hawkes, Cavendish, Universal and Pifco etc and these are certainly some of my favourites, running a gamut of dinky styles for adverts, film and Netflix, whatever that means these days…njoi/endure.’ — Baron Mordant

 

__________
BUÑUEL Class
‘BUÑUEL take every opportunity to stretch their musical tendrils towards discomfort, surrealism and the deconstruction of tradition, as they reach absolute abandon. “Mansuetude” dives into the eye of the storm and beyond, encompassing many moods, from post-hardcore to avant-noise, hard blues to post-industrial, from symphonic thrash to metal to free-jazz, all played at great cost.’ — Overdrive

 

______________
Thurston Moore We Get High
‘In 1988 the artist Jamie Nares painted an image titled Samurai Walkman which featured multiple tuning forks sticking out of a helmet. That same year Sonic Youth released the double album Daydream Nation with Gerhard Richter’s painting Kerze (‘Candle’) on the front cover. Thirty-six years later Samurai Walkman has been realised as a physical sculpture for the album artwork of Flow Critical Lucidity, Thurston Moore’s ninth solo record. ‘Let’s Get High’ is a slow sex stomp. Frontal lobe-tickling chimes ping like raindrops off a frozen pond and, in the background, a great machine-like grinding of guitar strings blasts out, as if someone is dragging an industrial oven across a cobbled stone floor, 10cm at a time.’ — Jon Buckland

 

______________
Ekoplekz Frampton Kotterell
‘Ekoplekz is Nick Edwards from Bristol, UK. He made waves in the 2010s with his distinctive brand of lo-fi analogue electronica for labels such as Planet Mu, Mordant Music, Punch Drunk, WNCL and Perc Trax, while also playing live around Europe. Recorded as always on four track cassette using hardware analogue synths and drum machines with minimal post-production, the tracks retain a raw immediacy and the dirty, dub-infused sound that he was always known for.’ — Selvamancer

 

______________
Furze Marrow Creed
‘We invite you to journey the 9th full length of FURZE – “COSMIC STIMULATION OF DARK FANTASIES”. Creating sounds where eternity is haunting mankind’s will for survival and barking answers seems echoing, twisting that same will to the point of hunting Man’s soul back through spectral infinity. The album pushes the personal edge of diverse Furzement to dark delights. Heavily brandished with oldish black doom metal spirit to breed new blood: Under the umbrella Cosmic Stimulation of Dark Fantasies you have songs like “Marrow Creed”, a psychedelic ballad of an inner self-motion/devotion, “Waswasah” – a Satanic groove with whispers from a devil so potent we wish only Kings in the beyond would, but do not hear!’ — Woe J. Reaper

 

______________
Harry Cloud A Thin Layer of Slugs
‘Hailing from Midland, Georgia on the border of Alabama, Harry Cloud’s first foray into music began in the MySpace years when he befriended a group of likeminded artists and moved upstate to Atlanta to join the experimental/noise scene under the name A Butterfly-Eaten Horsehead and later Single Mothers. Migrating out West to Los Angeles afforded a meeting with Roessler who helped him hone his sound with tighter production at Kitten Robot studios where he’s recorded 16 albums and EPs so far under Harry Cloud, Fannyland, Orphan Goggles, COPS and Harry Cloud/Paul Roessler.’ — Jammerzine

 

_____________
Mount Eerie Non-Metaphorical Decolonization
‘Phil Elverum’s music, like the old-growth forests where the Washington songwriter has found work of late, is defined by cycles of destruction and rebirth. The first major rupture came when he blew up the Microphones after 2003’s Mount Eerie and took the album’s name as a new alias; the second came after the death of his partner, Geneviève, in 2016, on a series of austere albums that reckoned with his younger self’s poetic treatment of impermanence. Elverum’s monumental new Mount Eerie album Night Palace feels both like a third definitive rupture and a culmination of his work over the past 25 years. Its 81-minute embrace finds room for all the earlier Elverums: the Zen poet, the stark realist, the black-metal shaman, the kid tinkering with recording gear in the back room of The Business in Anacortes and teaching himself how to bring the sounds in his head to life.’ — Daniel Bromfield

 

_____________
Klara Lewis 4U
‘This latest solo album from Swedish composer Klara Lewis is billed as “a heartfelt tribute to her friend, mentor and former label boss, Peter Rehberg” and a “precise homage” to his “methodology and spirit.” Notably, Editions Mego released Lewis’s debut album Ett in 2014 when she was only 21 years old and her vision has undergone some rather dramatic evolutions since then. For example, one of my favorite aspects of Ett was Klara’s near-complete avoidance of conventional melodies or instrumentation. While that stance has certainly softened over the ensuing decade, Lewis is still every bit as adventurous and unpredictable in 2024 as she was back then–her songs just happen to have stronger melodic hooks now. In keeping with that “anything goes” spirit, Thankful is fascinating miscellany that delves into everything from solo ukulele performances, unhinged techno mutations, Disintegration Loops-style slow-motion melody obliteration, and an achingly gorgeous elegy. Unsurprisingly, all are wonderful, which makes Thankful yet another characteristically excellent Klara Lewis album.’ — Anthony D’Amico

 

_____________
Yara Asmar i am a terrible mathematician (and an even worse clown)
‘A box-shaped musical instrument invented in ninteenth-century Berlin has gained popularity worldwide due to its portability and unique combination of melody keys and bass buttons. This versatility has made it a staple across numerous musical genres and cultures. Over the past century, from the lively sounds of Latin American gauchos to the melodies of French café musicians, and through the vibrant music of Balkan Romas and Klezmer dances, the accordion’s distinct timbre and zestful sound have resonated worldwide. Yara Asmar, a Beirut-based multi-instrumentalist and puppeteer, uses the instrument’s singular qualities as an interlacing element, creating a solid foundation for a rich interplay of acoustic and digital sounds.’ — Aydin Khalili

 

_____________
Daufødt Live @ Parkteatret, Oslo
‘Daufødt takes the temperature of 2024 from a young adult’s perspective. Their music features desperate cries about the end times while watching videos of cute dogs. There’s a new seriousness that comes with age, as critical thinking develops fully and fears about everything that could go wrong—because things have gone wrong—run rampant.’ — Sandnes Rockeklubb

p.s. Hey. While we await hopeful repairs from my blog’s hosting site, two people managed to break through the Cloudflare bug and comment here yesterday, and they offer these suggestions: jay recommends setting your VPN to Eastern Europe, and one of his friends who uses WordPress a lot recommends changing your Cloudflare SSL/TLS settings to Flexible. Steve used VPN set to Poland, and that worked. Maybe try those methods if you like? ** Dominik, Hi!!! Fingers crossed re: the tricky thing because we’ll need them. Despite the supposed serious with which the French take yesterday’s holiday, supermarkets were open, so I wasn’t famished after all. Visual snow syndrome … is that real? I’ll find out. Mixed blessing, it sounds like. Love giving you a million euros to make a music video, so start writing a song, G. ** jay, Hey! Excellent that you aced the bug! Hopefully others can follow you through the wormhole. Even I seem to know about the Scott expedition in unusual detail come to think of it. Must be the UK’s doing. Yes, this Cloudflare problem isn’t only happening on my blog, it’s been causing problems for all kinds of sites and blogs and so on for more than two months, and they don’t seem to have lifted much of a finger to fix it. Hacker needed. ** Misanthrope, Yeah, I hear you. Well, I hope he continues to want to try that method long enough to get himself enlisted. He does seem pretty flighty. We have military guys walking around in Paris with AK-47s or whatever ever since the Bataclan attack, and they seem nice enough. Back to work! ** kier, I would suggest that basic chocolate chip cookies are the best cookies. Lean and mean and to the point. No artsy-fartsy bullshit, no fancy dress-up nonsense. So you did good. I can’t cook for shit, but when I open and close and push the buttons on a microwave it’s like a fucking ballet, seriously. I’ve been very wary about ‘The Substance’, warded away from it by friends who seem to know what I like, so I don’t know. Hm. Yesterday wasn’t much for me. Email chipping mostly, blog post constructing, … yeah, kind of a blank of a day. This guy I know who seems like the last person who would write an autobiography or even who should write an autobiography did anyway, and he’s reading from it tonight at a bookstore, and I might go to find out why in the world he did that. And you, maestro? Bear hug without the claws, me. ** Lucas, Hi. I’m not sure what he wants to do with the reedited film. Zac and I are going to have a coffee with him and find out. He’s a fashion model, so maybe it’s for some fashion thing. I’m glad you’re seeing your doctor if you think you should. How did it go? My day wasn’t much — see my description to kier above — but it was nicely chilly and a little rainy outside, but not in a bad way. I have this weird gut feeling that it might actually snow here this winter, but my gut is an optimist just like me. xo. ** Steve, Welcome back! Good old Poland, who’d have thunk? Right, those fires and their stink, heard about it. In SoCal too, but smoke-scented skies are pretty normal there. Okay, ‘Red Rooms’, I’m on it. I’ve heard a little of seo, and I liked it. I’ll get more. Thanks! ** Uday, Hey. A broom, nice. We don’t have a broom. We rely on sucking air, but brooms are cool, and they look great somehow. Good, a bit of a qualifier on ‘Red Rooms’, so I won’t get too anticipatory. Wow, you have, like, your life planned out. That’s interesting. How does that feel? I just used to think, ‘I’m going to be writer’, but then I had no idea what would actually happen other than the writing part. That is some title there. I guess the problem with really long titles is that the book in question will always be referred by whatever nickname it ends up being given. But maybe that’s okay. But I agree with you. *thinking* ** Tyler Ookami, Wherever you used worked, happily. Hey! ** HaRpEr, Hi. I had a feeling you were caught in the commenting death spiral. Glad you broke though. Maybe it’s a sign. I’m waiting to hear from my hosting site. They’d better do something. Or else. Although I don’t know if there actually is an ‘else’. I adore Roussel. When people say Proust, I say Roussel. I did this kind of odd post about him years ago that’s one my favorite ever posts here for some reason. This. As far as fiction goes, yes, I feel bereft of sufficiently exciting ideas. I should probably focus my mind more intently toward that, but I’m kind of focused on ideas for Zac’s and my next film right now. It’ll come: the exciting idea. They always do. Thanks for nudging my muse. What are you working on or thinking about in that regard? ** Steeqhen, Hey. Sorry to hear about your friend’s dad, but the bungalow and its surrounds/inhabitants sound pretty enticing. And you’re writing! Writing -> everything else in my humble opinion. Hoping our weeks are bosom buddies in the goodness department. ** Stella maris, Hi, Stella! How great to meet you, and I’m glad you conquered the Cloudflare beast. I am unfortunately its helpless captive in here. Thank you very much about the blog. If luck holds, our film will screen in LA early-ish next year, and we’re working on NYC. I’m intrigued by your Notley-using film. What became of it? Are you still making films? What do you do, I mean with your talents, etc.? Thanks for coming in. I hope I’ll get to talk with you more. ** Okay. I made one of my gigs featuring some music I’ve been liking and playing of late, and there it is up there, and hopes are that you’ll find something pleasurable in your own regards therein. See you tomorrow.
