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.

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…

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
