Just dropped the latest edition of my newsletter. This one features thoughts on field recording from artists like @wselman.bsky.social and @patriciawolf.bsky.social www.isthisrealpdx.com/the-art-of-f...

trans rights are human rights. again and again and again and for those in the very fucking back (of time), TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. FFS.

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 🙏

The brain's electrical waves don't just travel. They spiral, and the spirals are coordinated across the whole brain. Out today in @science.org, the study was led by @uw-nbio.bsky.social with @alleninstitute.org contributions. 🌀 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adx1369

Thanks to all the listeners 🤩 🎹 @plant43.bsky.social unreleased 🌱

It’s release day for Zyggurat - Sphere to Sphere. 7 tracks of psychedelic improv, as free as you like, recorded on the crest of the cosmic hum/deep in the woods in Shropshire. It's magnificent, emotional and moves like quicksilver. old-technology.bandcamp.com/album/sphere...

Playing tunes with Minty, Aerin, and Cancer House soon

We're Moonbuilding's album of the week! The British music journalist Neil Mason (NME, Electronic Sound, Melody Maker) has a pretty glowing review (with a kind of funny mention of ORI at the beginning): moonbuilding.substack.com/p/issue-99-1...

Total respect. RIP, good sir. triblive.com/aande/museum...

I wrote about old rap magazines, the fight for the future of hip hop’s past, and the impact the digital age has had on history, for @defector.com defector.com/lost-recipes

3 hours of Éliane Radigue (barely scratching the surface) on WFMU via DJ Jesse Dorris www.wfmu.org/playlists/sh... #nowzoning

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.

Hello. Got some tapes of my latest album on Bandcamp: plant43.bandcamp.com/album/immers... 'Plant43’s album for Muzan Editions is rooted in the living rhythms of the natural world. Inspired by the slow motion of waves and the distant glow of stars, the album unfolds as a deep meditation on breath.'

I had a delivery today. 15 copies of this pretty tape album I made with Muzan Editions. I think half of them have gone already but if you miss out you could always support the label instead. From me (UK): jojohnson.bandcamp.com/album/flow-a...

New one from Charle! charlewallace.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

Top 5 of ‘25: 1. @jo-johnson.bsky.social - Alterations Vol.1 2. These New Puritans - Crooked Wing 3. @vasculator.bsky.social - Nothing Left To Dissolve 4. @jamesholden.bsky.social & Waclaw Zimpel - The Universe Will Take Care Of You 5. @loulayorke.bsky.social - Time Is A Succession Of Such Shapes

Kit Clayton live at Tarantella in September ‘25 tarantella-9.bandcamp.com/album/kit-cl...

Same goes for Trance Europe Express — this booklet had more relevant data than the entire internet in 1993. bsky.app/profile/spyk...

One of those albums from the early days of IDM that still transports me to that optimistic future we all dreamed of in 1993. RIP Ken Downie

Thanks to @turkdietrich.bsky.social for including my album in his Boomkat year end list. Still jamming that First Tone record here 🫡

I wrote about my 30 favorite albums of the year (plus 45 more) futurismrestated.substack.com/p/the-best-a...

Anthony Child - of the Beginning old-technology.bandcamp.com/album/of-the... 2025 was a difficult year for all of us. For me it was one of loss, breakdown, heartbreak, reflection and discovery.

For Bandcamp Friday, here’s a thank you! 10% off everything Silver Threads using the code “hope”. silverthreads.bandcamp.com

Thanks Philip! Always an enlightening read but also obvs love that you've taken the time to listen to what I'm doing. TIP!

The world’s a better place with @dan-bean.bsky.social & this album in it. Hardest working @bleep43.bsky.social er, collector & selector, Transcendence Orchestra & Old Technology founder with @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com, bestest friend & most self-deprecating of the self-deprecators. Enter his brain.

What an album it is! Love this one

Congrats to @clavender.bsky.social for getting featured on Bandcamp's pick of the best experimental music of October: daily.bandcamp.com/best-experim...

I had a fascinating conversation with Steve Hauschildt about his great new album, his move to Tbilisi, and what's next for Emeralds 👀 futurismrestated.substack.com/p/fr-141-ste...

Published a long interview with San Francisco legend Jonah Sharp aka Spacetime Continuum and his son Jasper, aka Cahl Sel, one of the only intergenerational electronic music duos I know. Includes original photography and vintage rave flyers from Jonah’s archive, likely never published before.

RIP Jack DeJohnette

Not to be obsequious, but getting love from all you weirdos whose music I listen to isn’t something that goes unnoticed.

Damn. I love your tunes. This means a lot! Thank you 🫡
