Beautiful dancing David Fair. A total permission-giver and selfless artist.

Louise is an endlessly generous and loved member of music and sound (and right-in-between) community, and could use some support.

Six new albums of miniatures from 2024 at nicolnicolnicol.bandcamp.com I think was trying to find out my tics and preoccupations, either towards purging or deepening. Sharing things (outside of performance) felt quite unpleasant for a while and this is a try at doing that again.

All of the most significant, joyous and impactful experiences I’ve had hearing music in person has been accompanied by a moment of reflex concern: ‘DO they actually know what they’re doing?’

I can't recommend Joe McPhee's new memoir (via Corbett vs Dempsey) highly enough. A deeply beautiful man with a unique place in sound and music.
