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.

Palermo. Tonight I will be on Fabrizio Clemenza’s programme, Eclipsed, on Radio Dopo to go through the back catalogue: Human Greed, Fovea Hex, Fragile Pitches è solo mio. 10pm local time - and they have allowed us an additional 20 mins as there is a lot to wade through radiodopo.it

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.”

Recalling the time I shared a glass of something nice with the Anti-Santa, Hermann Nitsch. Someone with a sound grasp of German sadly confided that the artist had obviously had a stroke. I correctly ascertained that he - like me - was simply pissed.

Life affirming appraisal of LULU AND THE BLACKS from Compulsion Online
image shows cover art from Michael begg's album, Lulu and the blacks. It is overlayed by a review of the record by the online journal, Compulsion Online, which reads...  "A collection of music that feels intimate and introspective, lit by memory and beauty delivered with a disarming tenderness

"The effect is unsettling yet full of wonder - mysterious, haunting and just gorgeous.

"Such is Begg's capacity as a composer the emotional pull is quietly devastating

"Lulu and the Blacks is another remarkable work - intimate, assured, and quietly luminous - and makes an ideal companion for late-evening, moonlit walks."
