Recent praise for Michael McNeill's Barcode Poetry: From Percorsi Musicali: "Every note, touch or idea of Alcorn is simply magical, often transforming the music into a dream-like, almost psychedelic, highly immersive listening experience." www.percorsimusicali.eu/2025/03/04/m...

It's #BandcampFriday! Today @bandcamp.com is waiving their revenue share, which means all proceeds from sales go directly to artists & labels--or in the case of the Rust Belt Artists Against Gen0cjde compilation, to orgs working for a Free P@lestine. infrasonicpress.bandcamp.com

Bandcamp Friday is back for 2025. On March 7, we’ll once again waive our revenue share, ensuring more money goes directly to artists. Last year, fans spent $3.1 million in a single day—the biggest since 2022. Let’s keep that momentum going. Mark your calendars and get your wishlist ready.

Recent remembrances of Susan Alcorn have been published, including an obituary in @nytimes.com: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/a...

We are grieving the recent passing of the pioneering pedal steel player Susan Alcorn. Susan took pedal steel far beyond its traditional roles. After years in country/western bands, she expanded the vocabulary of her instrument through 20th century music, visionary jazz, and world musics.

Earlier this month, we lost trumpeter, flugelhornist, and composer Herb Robertson (1951-2024). His sound was marked by as much by a sensitive lyricism as it was by a curiosity-driven experimentalism. He will be missed.
