Took my mom out for an early Mother’s Day dinner yesterday, and we figured out her favorite meal is now two lobster tails. Two.

A hard week ending with a nice moment.

Andor. What the hell is this thing? Downton Deathstar? Hard pass.

For reals. I was a kid in Japan at the time and YMO were very popular.

Ichiko Aoba performing one of the most breathtaking sets I’ve heard in many years.

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

Last day in Tokyo with my love @yannnovak.com We’ll be back!

One of the best meals in recent memory at Maguro Mart in Nakano, Tokyo. Lovely evening with Megumi Nakai and @yannnovak.com

With Megumi and @yannnovak.com Nakano.

If my only news source were the @LAtimes.com I would have almost no clue that there were issues with the current administration, aside from a few opinion pieces. Subscription cancelled. Again.

Lovely day in Kamakura with @yannnovak.com and Minoru Sato.

Wonderful night out in Shinagawa with @dragonseyerecordings.com’s artists @soloisounds.bsky.social, @robert.takahashinovak.com, @hiroyukinakamu.bsky.social and his wonderful wife Mayumi!

Ok fine I will post.

Meditation at dusk by the LA River, led by Lauren Bon and The Metabolic Studio.

Carsten Nicolai on point at The Broad last night.

Soooo I got some new sunglasses…

Pasadena #TeslaTakedown

A small victory at the Alhambra #TeslaTakedown: they ended up shutting down the sales office during the protest. I invite all my east side LA friends to join us next Saturday!

With @yannnovak.com, Hailey Loman, and Andrew Friere at the closing event for PST.

@ianwellman.bsky.social giving us a beautiful and thrilling 45 minutes of vibrations.

I finally made some sounds worth working into a proper composition. Small victories.

This was quite the power meeting last night. Introducing a visionary artist, Marcos Lutyens, to an equally visionary experimental physicist, Rana Adhikari. Good, weird stuff is going to come of this. Stay tuned!

Still referencing this as recently as this morning @naylandblake.bsky.social Thanks again for the education. Seems even more vital today than ever before.

1/ I’m still surprised and a more than a little irritated when I’m in a meeting of primarily white folks and the subject of diversity comes up. Someone inevitably says “we need to bring in more people that don’t look like us.”

We've been waiting for months, and it's finally out! Huge thanks to PBS SoCal for putting so much love into this. @room40.bsky.social and I make a pretty decent team I think.

Wall vinyl deinstallation concrete poetry.

If you are in Pasadena and need a place to work because of the Alton fire, hit me up. We are letting folks use the gallery as a co-working space for the next month or two. @fulcrumarts.bsky.social

Delicious strawberry cake for my birthday, made from scratch by @yannnovak.com!

What we’re working on over here at @fulcrumarts.bsky.social today

Lawrence English's most recent release on heavy rotation today. lawrenceenglish.bandcamp.com/album/even-t... @room40.bsky.social

This right here describes my relationship to my first car.

It’s recently come to my attention that synth stands are very important.

Yann’s birthday dinner! @yannnovak.com

Can we talk about this parking job? #tesla

Last day to see Orbihedron by Evelina Domnitch & Dmitry Gelfand at @fulcrumarts.bsky.social This incredible sculptural work also features a soundtrack by William Basinski.

Oh boy it’s really coming down. An exhibition years in the making that gets de-installed in a matter of hours.

The most exciting thing to happen to me in a while is when I learned last weekend that Pamela’s Pro Workout offers two channels of quantization.

Not the easiest selfie to take.

The cringe-mobile parked outside my office today.

How hard is it for people to to just buy music? Why are we empowering these digital carpetbaggers?

Yesterday was the final day to see Energy Fields. @room40.bsky.social and I worked on this since beginnings of the pandemic. Proud of what we accomplished and a little sad for it to end.

Finally figured out a good ChatGPT use case, summarizing overwrought museum/gallery didactics.

That they spent several minutes focusing on Michael McDonald’s backing vocals on “Peg” should tell you what an enjoyable movie this is. It’s a great stress reliever. youtu.be/a55pyQsI3GQ

This is an amazing record! Grab it!
