I am in the 1%, but it's good to know that this is not abnormal. On the positive side, I feel very happy on the days when the pain is less severe - so little is needed to be happy.

Pinya and I were talking to AI, trying to understand whether evil in this world has any boundaries. Should we trust it? I predict that these answers will change, as more people start asking.

This piece about Alex Ross by Will Robin is the most meaningful recent reflection on music criticism. His comment on the pool story cuts right through: When we lose voices that help instruct us about what matters, we instead endow the superficial with profundity industry.substack.com/p/the-swan-b...

One interesting addition in NYC this July is Roulette's "No Fun" Festival. It feels like most names with "new," "contemporary," "experimental" and "weird" are already taken and they want to make sure that people who like easy (fun?) music don't show up. extendedtechniques.com/2026/07/01/n...

What an amazing edipode! So great to hear about the collaboration of two inspiring scholars of theatre and history. (Also, I'm looking forward to reading "The Perfect Tuba" book.)

Laurie Anderson - the artist of saying exactly the words we need to hear today - speaking about the relationship between love and power. The deepest, most meaningful, and most effective showmanship I've seen. (Fair enough, I'm not a denizen of shows.) Priceless and free of charge. @Central Park

he is right in that more hairraising events have happened at least once per week over the past year, and apparently he is worried that we still think it's not normal

On this platform, I've been trying to follow only colleagues in music and arts criticism and academics working in disciplines related to my work. Yet all I see in my thread are complaints about politics! (And occasionally, some personal news.) Is there a time of the day to read something meaningful?

The rent is prohibitively high, but hopefully that may change with the new mayor. Also, the number of concerts each month (many of them free) is worth it! extendedtechniques.com/category/cal...

Since February 2022, Russia has damaged or destroyed 1,913 cultural heritage sites and 2,573 cultural infrastructure facilities across Ukraine. Museums, libraries, archives, places of worship, theatres, universities, and cultural centers have repeatedly come under attack. ui.org.ua/en/news-en/s...

For the past 10 years, it has been getting worse. One thing that remained unchanged is: if your topic happens to be especially relevant the year you graduate, but few people are working on it, then you have a chance. After one year without a full-time position, it becomes more difficult to get one.

I spent an entire concert in earplugs for the first time in my life, but the performance was still mesmerizing. From a trance-like drumbeat, to gradually changing timbres and reverberations, to the guitarists' excitement, to Reg Bloor's energetic conducting, final dance, and theatrical collapse.

It often feels that we are setting a record of the largest amount of interesting new music events per day, and this month it's actually true. Good luck choosing on June 5th, 6th, 20th and especially the 13th! (We try to be selective, sometimes it's just too hard.)

Thank you for your continuous support for Ukraine! What do you think of today's first page of the NYT? A piece about commemoration of Nazi collaborator is featured more prominenly than the bombing of Kyiv. If it happened in any other country, this burial would not even be on the news.

Paul Pinto’s Octet is unlike anything you’ve heard before, unless you’ve heard Julia Wolfe’s Forbidden Love, or Roman Grygoriv and Illia Razumeiko’s Mariupol. Still, the shower of flying pencils was a new experience for me. Imagine what he will do in his opera? (Livestream in comments.)
