Two Gather in The Waiting Room has appeared on streaming platforms this week. Note that this has NOTHING to do with me, with Roedelius or with the label, Klanggalerie. Spotify, specifically, were instructed to withhold release, but they went ahead and published anyway.

It's probably my favourite Michael Begg album, and that's a high bar. Also great for drifting off to sleep too. And waking up to. Wonderful!

Word has just come that tomorrow's Earth Day screening, at Edinburgh Filmhouse, of Glenda Rome's film, Expressing The Earth, for which I composed soundscapes and field recording treatments, is SOLD OUT. Congratulations to Glenda and the producer, Norman Bissell.
Image shows the poster for the Glenda Rome film expressing The Earth with the tag line A cinematic journey into the heart of geopoetics. The image features a heron taking flight from still water

Sometimes I like to take my satellite tracker for a walk across the sky. I just came across Luch/Olymp, a Russian spy satellite, sent up in 2014 to 'observe' other satellites. Although still transmitting it's now broken apart and exists primarily as a debris risk in the geostationary belt.

Well played, maestro. “I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center under its current leadership”
Philip Glass statement reads
“After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my Symphony No. 15 “Lincoln” from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,” Glass wrote on social media. 

“Symphony No. 15 is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony. Therefore, I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center under its current leadership.”
