Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.

“You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted,” he told one confidante. “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”

Is it a terrible idea to check a synth as luggage for a show? I’ve kept it all carry-on in the past, but really want to use something I can’t stow in the overhead. Looking for reassurance and/or mockery 🙏

Farewell to French composer Éliane Radigue (1932-2026) who taught us the radical power of slowness, of patience, and attention stretched to the threshold of perception. Her work will continue to resonate—slowly, endlessly—like a tone that never quite fades.

I’ve been quoted saying this before but it’s still a worthwhile thing to think about. “I automate whatever can be automated to be freer to focus on those aspects of music that can't be automated. The challenge is to figure out which is which." That doesn’t only pertain to music.
