Noise Friday.

Yesterday’s hike.

Yesterday’s hike.

The Sonny Rollins “On Impulse!” LP has one of the greatest gatefolds of all time: the artist arriving at the studio, carrying his instruments, greeted by the engineer. I think about it, often.

A short visit to INA-GRM’s Acousmonium.

It’s my life

This Hans Reichel collection is WONDERful inspiring music and the booklet is gorgeous! @orenambarchi.bsky.social 👏🙏

Solo set at Only Connect in Stavanger tonight

Me and my email inbox

Lasse Marhaug bends signals from video artist Kjell Bjørgeengen and Keith Rowe’s volatile A/V system; making for a fierce sequence of hard-as-nails sheet noise x outsider techno - essential listening IYI Pan Sonic, Merzbow, PITA 🔥 boomkat.com/products/flo...

Mastering and design work: Carlos Giffoni & Thurston Moore “Iguana” tape on iDEAL

Carlos Giffoni reconnects with Thurston Moore for the first time in years, blazing through two sides of loose-limbed axe noise, oscillator worship and hard-phased, Spacemen 3-style feedback boomkat.com/products/igu...

So great it’s ridiculous

Thinking about Japanese noise compilation CDs

R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.
