One of my bands, New Standards Men, did a one-off show in the hayloft of a barn in Longmont, CO. The legendary Windy & Carl played their first ever Colorado show, opening were future hall of famers @mjsage.bsky.social and Chaz Prymek. A lot of my time was spent listening while wandering around.

Well well well — a freshly uploaded Prairiewolf live recording on archive dot org, taped two years ago to the day in SLC. Features an all-star closing collab w/ @mjsage.bsky.social & chaz "lake mary" prymek! 🪩

I posted a substack about May and June things, records, and a few little ideas and photos. tallgrassdispatch.substack.com/p/may-and-june

I stand firmly with all hourly workers, especially workers that work hard to keep food and essential items on the shelves at the grocery store: having said that, I also believe that when I check out and bag my own groceries I should get a little treat... like free groceries. Not theft, but a reward.

i am trying to buy a compact disc on bandcamp and the cart is stuck in a death roll... this happening to anyone else?

(brushes the dust off his moog matriarch) "your highness, i return to create ambient jazz."

remember when elvis' manager made "i hate elvis" buttons to make money off of people that didn't like his client? www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi... its that, but g**se. every word written about g**se contributes to g**se's ongoing "psyop" it's the same circus, just different clowns

Chaz Prymek and I have a new record out on @akprecordings.bsky.social today called Shelter. I wrote a big long substack post about it... kind of... tallgrassdispatch.substack.com/p/documentat...

Shelter from Prymek & @mjsage.bsky.social is out today digitally and on highlighter clear yellow vinyl. Gentle, hymn-like, deeply melodious, and patient, the album leaves plenty of room to breathe, and time and space to think. listen & purchase ~ link in bio orcd.co/psshelter

#NewMusicFriday Prymek & Sage, 'Shelter' Like their work in Fuubutsushi, Chaz Prymek and @mjsage.bsky.social make music without a set destination. These sketches stretch wide like the horizon, yet feel as close as a heartbeat. prymekandsage.bandcamp.com/album/shelter

Catharsis is one of the major food groups in my creative palette.... so it feels sweet to be on Lars' piece here.

I reissued my 2021 album "Lux Collapsing" in a new CD edition. I think it looks nice and I like how this album sits in my discography, so give it a check! -Matt msage.bandcamp.com/album/lux-co...

I made some bumper stickers and put them up in my bandcamp shop. I'm sorry. -Matt msage.bandcamp.com/merch/bumper...

doozy of a weekend in may!!!! www.cached.media/onestraw

coming to terms with short form contentment

Taking solace in a dreary February day and corresponding shivering weather during ongoing summer-like mid-winter climate events.

Made a substack post reconfiguration of a lecture I used to give when I was a college professor. It is called "A Very Brief History of Recorded Sound" and is now a kind of semi-existential multimedia essay about how weird it is here... tallgrassdispatch.substack.com/p/a-very-bri...

I am accepting graphic design work and commissions again! I wrote a little essay about why I love designing sound objects. Read it on my substack. tallgrassdispatch.substack.com/p/graphic-de...

imagine thinking you need to understand everything...

Happy to celebrate the launch of a new Boulder County arts publication tonight — the Caribou Current. Check out cover star @mjsage.bsky.social … www.cariboucurrent.com

I am in a band called Fuubutsushi. People are always like "huh?" and then I say "Foo Butt Sushi" and they nod like they understood it the second time. Anyway, we just put our whole discography on bandcamp. www.fuubutsushi.bandcamp.com

What a weird Earth we are up to these days.

I ran record labels for 20 years and I've decided I don't want to run a record label anymore. Read about it here if you want! <3 tallgrassdispatch.substack.com/p/cachedout-...

www.nts.live/shows/in-foc... this is absolutely blowing my mind rn

i've entered my "i don't make music, i just use synthesizers to make sounds that sound like digging through a very wet compost pile" era

Pretty much a daily vibe since I got it. M. Sage’s latest is possibly the height of his ambient-jazz powers, and with that catalogue, is saying a lot. Stunner. Absolutely one of the year’s best. From Rvng. Intl.

M. Sage :: Tender / Wading aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/10/07/m... The Colorado-based M Sage resides in the liminal zone, finding endless inspiration in the in-between. Between natural and digital, stillness and motion, silence and noise, innocence and experience, waking and dreams.

Musician and artist Matthew Sage discusses his move to a Colorado farm, the challenges of balancing parenthood with creative work, and how his latest album 'Tender / Wading' benefits from letting art sit longer before sharing it with the world. A Din of Toads — M. Sage's Rural Reckoning:

i may or may not be the person @gqmagazine.bsky.social is reporting has allegedly put their #geese vinyl record in their oven
