As of today, I launched Elsewhere Music Publishing as a publisher, to protect the copyrights of some of my label's artists while helping them earn royalties from sync use licenses and more. It's mainly for my elsesong artists who are singer-songwriters.

Listening to the original vinyl of David Sylvian’s Blemish. David's voice and songs sound amazingly vivid and powerful on vinyl that I feel I could almost touch the sound. Above is Keith Rowe's private painting that he painted after his MIMEO CD 'Sight' release in 2007 (All has Fennesz in them)

Now listening to the reissued 2LP of Cowboy Junkies' The Trinity Session (2LP, 2017) I love the natural, warm sound of this album and vocals. It feels like I can touch the air in the space where it was recorded. The naturalness of the sound and vocals gives me goosebumps.

Just listening to David Sylvian's 'Died in the Wool' (Manafon remix, 2LP, 2011) this afternoon on vinyl, and was deeply moved by it. His singing really comes alive when heard on a vinyl record. So, I wrote a review. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bi6...

東京・早稲田奉仕園スコットホールでの沼尾翔子ソロアルバム「The Siwnin Sails — 青い帆」国内盤リリース記念公演は、大盛況のうちに終了いたしました。200人収容のホールのほぼ半分を埋める集客数となり、音響としては理想的な空間での演奏とライブ録音が実現し、大変嬉しく思っております。昨年夏に沼尾翔子さんの歌を初めて聴いた時、その独特の揺らぎと透明感のある歌声をいつか響きの良い教会のような空間でぜひ聴いてみたいと思ったのを覚えています。その夢が今回、様々な方々のご協力で実現し、レーベル主としても感動を言い尽くせない思いです。

RIP Kiyoshi Kitagawa. I had a chance to interview him in 2007 for a free Japanese paper in NYC. He was such a wonderful musician with a cheerful, joyful, and pure heart. I posted the interview with him I wrote at the time, titled “When I Was 35" on FB. www.facebook.com/share/p/18qu...

I reviewed the stunning and stunningly intense new Quentin Tolimieri album 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘐 (on @yukozama.bsky.social's elsewhere music) in @thequietus.com. Three hours of solo piano pieces that explore the instrument's "countless sonic possibilities and resonances".
