Big time seasonality: There's a new episode of TGE airing tonight at 6pm ET via www.greatcircles.net. Honestly can't believe it's spring already, but we're leaning into it w/ this program, all warm & coming back to life-like. Enjoy. 🌱

Gearing up for a few days out w/ buds from far & wide as we host our first-ever @onestraw.bsky.social events! These 3 dates all ft. ambient king Chihei Hatakeyama, which is a damn rare treat here in CO. 🎟️ are still available for all dates, but they won't be for long...

Tonight! TGE's mid-winter program hits www.greatcircles.net. Expect crackle, frizzle, & dust, all glazed over w/ that particular shade of white befitting of the season. The show ends w/ a tribute of sorts to the recently departed Susan Alcorn, madame of the pedal steel guitar Hope you enjoy. 💚

Constructed a major zone w/ @mjsage.bsky.social over the weekend, exploring imagined ecosystems & notions of cultural erasure. This was our inaugural collab & I hope we get to do it again real soon!

Once more, for the people in the back! Once this sale wraps up next month, physical media will no longer be available direct from FS. We're down to last copies on a lot of what remains...

Another deep loss... I never got to see her live, but I've held a special place for Susan's recordings for a long time now. The intimate resonance defines her work is a wonder, as well as her mastery of a rather arcane instrument not typically used in improvised contexts. Spend time w/ her world.

On-air tomorrow night for the February edition of The Satin Tuning Fork at GreatCircles.net from 5-7MT with a smattering of tracks- old, new, borrowed, blue- that have been giving me joy. 🔊

The 1st TGE of the 2025 airs tonight at 8pm ET on www.greatcircles.net. This one is a sort of quiet meditation for a world [literally & figuratively] on fire, keying in on slowly elaborating sounds & dreamy shadow mosaics for the quiet hours. Tune in & take care of each other. 💚

Ok, turns out I had other things to listen too. Infinite Future Band- Endings A beautiful, honed in, and subtly joyful way to bring this absolutely essential label to a close. Pretty much a perfect ending. fullspectrumrecords.bandcamp.com/album/endings

FYI // 2024 marked the end of Full Spectrum Records, the imprint I collaborated on w/ @andrewweathers.bsky.social for many years. We still have inventory, on which we've lowered prices in the interest of "commerce." Grab a lil something & own a piece of the magic...
