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.

From sound (and video) check two days ago w Kjell Bjørgeengen. Album coming on Smalltown this autumn.

Another 2002 release I forgot was Lasse Marhaug and Kevin Drumm’s “Frozen By Blizzard Winds”. Its title and cover reference black metal. Its creators were both metal fans and guitarists (of sorts) who gravitated towards digital laptop noise. This is 00s minimal, abstract, ambient noise at its best.

Preorders for the first ever solo Donso n’goni recording from legendary Swedish multi-instrumentalist & Don Cherry collaborator Christer Bothén, a stunning document of a remarkable instrument played with an almost spiritual intensity by one of contemporary music’s great explorers shorturl.at/N9pe4
