ALVIN CURRAN Roman Ruins CD WE INSIST! Records CDWEIN37 Release date: October 21 weinsist.bandcamp.com

Much has been written about improvisation… probably the most
ancient of musical languages that Homo Sapiens has “spoken” in
the last 40-50,000 years, and today collective free improvisation
has become an art and musical field unto itself. But like the grand
gamelan orchestras of Bali and Java, the massive Alpenhorn
orchestras in Switzerland, or our own great symphonic orchestras
and choruses – bringing large numbers of people together to
make music is nothing new, and practiced worldwide based on
proven traditions.

So, to make music based on “nothing” collectively with many
people may appear as an act of futility, even stupidity. Yet,
knowing that anything can happen, even transcendent beauty, is
for me reason enough to continue the pursuit of this evanescent
magic.

Alvin Curran, Rome, 20.10.2024

Der Herr Warum @adairneto.bsky.social · 19h

From Brent Yorgey's advice to students ozark.hendrix.edu/~yorgey/fore...

Don't believe self-serving lies about technologies being "inevitable" or "here to stay". You don't have to just go along with the dominant narrative. You can make deliberate choices and help others to do the same.
Be intentional about deciding your own moral and ethical boundaries up front. Don't settle for the lie of compromising your principles "just for now" until you can find something better.
Cultivate your ability to think deeply. Do whatever it takes to carve out distraction-free bubbles for yourself in both space and time. This might mean saying no to technologies or patterns of working that others say are critical or inevitable.
Care deeply about your craft. Refactor code until it is clear and elegant. Write good documentation for other humans to read. Have the courage to go slowly, especially when everyone else is telling you that you need to go fast and cut corners.
Care more about people, relationships, and justice than you do about profits, code, or productivity.
Above all, be motivated by love instead of fear.

Just thinking the word "portend" earlier today interrupted a perfectly acceptable week of listening to Tim Berne records and finding that every one was the perfect soundtrack to where I was at the time, but the first Painkiller album wasn't exactly a bad interruption. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7kI...

🎸 Ryley Walker loves the Internet Archive. 🎶 The singer-songwriter says the Live Music Archive is a “treasure trove that never really stops,” and welcomes tapers documenting his live shows so people can hear how his music changes from night to night. 📚 Learn more👇 blog.archive.org/2026/09/29/e...

Musician Ryley Walker sits on a green velvet couch against a purple wall, wearing an open light-blue striped shirt over a white tee, light-wash jeans, and white high-top sneakers, with one leg crossed. He looks toward the camera. A small audio mixer sits beside him, and an open road case lined with gray foam rests on a wooden table in the foreground.

Thank you @maryhalvorson.bsky.social and Sylvie Courvoisier for coming to New Mexico and putting on an INCREDIBLE show last night. It was my daughter’s first music show and wow, what a doozy. She’ll never forget this one. One of those shows I wish I had recorded start to finish.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.
