It seems that extremely daft (and racist) Ron Morelli chap is back on the scene playing in the experimental-ish circuit. Quite a few gigs coming up. What's that all about?

Ok so a bit of news. After a bit of demand we've decided to do some one-off events that'll take place outside Counterflows Festival in April. The 1st of these welcomes two legends we love: Beijing's Yan Jun and Glasgow's Sue Tompkins on the 4th of March.

The bold yin is back with the most fucked & difficult & beautiful shit in the game. 2 hours of temporal shapeshifting and Nancarrow worship to (re)imagine musical, political and queer horizons. An electric shock in a sea of tasteful gibberish. Do it:

Arming Israel. Bombing Yemen. Cutting aid. This government’s obsession with militarism is out of control — and it is the poorest people in the world paying the price. We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is a good enough reason to try and build a world of peace.

So the reason we did this is to push our membership scheme. Basically at this point it keeps us alive and we want to remain fully independent. Rent/overheads are crazy and it is always touch and go, despite being busier than ever. Sign up here:

Welsh harpist Rhodri Davies kicks off a 4 day solo run at OTO tonight. Can't recommend this enough: Rhodri has a stalwart of the underground & experimental scene(s) for 4 decades now. He's got 6 harps in toe with him. Time to go deep with those strings.

This is out today. A truly cinematic piece of work in the way it pieces its material from snapshots in time, rendering the place & people in it so elegantly & strangely. A bit like watching a Les Blank film or reading a Carson McCullers book. Fantastic.

So way too many people chatted through Autechre's Manchester show at the weekend and kinda ruined it in bits. I've got a simple solution for them to this problem: play a month long residency in Cafe OTO and we'll shush anyone the tries to go there. C'mon lads.

Next Weds & Thurs it gives me great pleasure to welcome Sachiko M for a residency at OTO. I first heard Sachiko's sampler sine waves on Otomo Yoshihide's take on Out to Lunch, & have been fascinated by her since. Expect solos, collabs w/Pat Thomas, Li Song, & more!
