Daily unheard album: PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION by Ian Wellman ianwellman.bandcamp.com/album/partic... #DailyUnheardAlbum

I've just received good news from the Turkish border— the stellar Iranian composer and musician Siavash Amini @capgrasman.bsky.social is alive and safe. While we mourn our fellow Iranian artists and musicians that are lost to us, we also celebrate those that are still here.

Free show this Saturday 4/25! Come hang!

There's only one Annea Lockwood.

Def try to give Andrew’s new one a listen

Out now: Andrew Anderson’s haunting “Thresholds” LP — a disquieting amalgamation of precise sound art and fluid dream logic. Get it here on black or limited edition clear vinyl: andrewjamesanderson.bandcamp.com/album/thresholds

www.patreon.com/posts/154656... what’s not to love about @yannnovak.com The newest release is not perfect, or the best, it's just the closest. I have no idea what it's missing, but as I work towards the next thing, it will reveal itself and will be added to that new work

Particularly Dangerous Situation (...) is simultaneously an audio document as it is a narrative composition, it is a captivating, but harrowing work to say the least. - Creaig Dunton, @brainwashed.bsky.social Thanks for the very kind words!

In this clip from The Tonearm Podcast, Lawrence English discusses his collaborative project 'Trinity' with Stephen Vitiello, reflecting on how their 20-year partnership shapes the creative boundaries they explore together. Don't miss the full conversation: podcast.thetonearm.com/lawrence-eng...

just a little reminder tonight we are doing a little release show at 2220 Arts and Archives if you’re in Los Angeles…

Ian Wellman’s Particularly Dangerous Situation arrived this afternoon on Vinyl. This is the best way to process a tragedy.

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

Launching Field Studies today - a new series of 4-way splits with long-form pieces from artists I love. Inspired by the old Foxglove "Wailing Bones" series. Vol 1: Landon Caldwell, zakè, Meadow Argus, and myself. digital, pay-what-you-can.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

Ian Wellman set out to document an extreme wind event early last year. He wound up capturing the onset of the terribly destructive Southern California wildfires. The presence of slight musical additions does not distract from the sheer destructive force on display, this is not for casual engagement.

Is anyone else’s spotify page all messed up? All my releases are listed as “featured on?” I guess it’s move away from spotify…

particularly dangerous situation is out now via @elevatorbath.com. the album is a meditative document of the 2025 Southern California wildfires. Massive thank you Colin for really putting in the care to make this edition sound and look the best it can!

FFFoxy Podcast #272 is now available. New music from Massage, Nice Breeze, Ian Wellman, Jandek, Yamila, Mark Harwood, Fantasma, Èlg & La Chimie, and more. www.freeformfreakout.com/fffoxy-podca...

Big thank you to SoundOhm for the extremely kind review and selecting the album as part of their “best of 2026” section. They gave lovely compliments to @elevatorbath.com, too!!

Thank you to all the folks who showed up for the listening party this afternoon!

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Really looking forward to this and having my smoke and ash loops be part of the evening
