Vast. Reminded me of stepping outside at DEN in the middle of the night - feeling disconnected until I looked up at the night sky - and realizing I'm part of it! #musicsky

Lovely music by Stan Stewart. With all the ugliness and tension outside, I needed this. #music

The Surrealist "Exquisite Corpse" Poems or images created by a group. Collaborators add to the composition in sequence, and are generally allowed to see only the very end of what the previous person did. Surprising results! I've often thought it would be fun to try something similar with music. #art

Currently captivated by this album from Edward Givens. Steampunk Symphony : edwardgivens.bandcamp.com/album/steamp... I bought it on the strength of hearing his track "White Stag" on the album "Affinity" & also the beautiful album "Snow Globe" which conjures a wintery soundscape without clichés.

Jeff Buckley reading Edgar Allan Poe's 1847 poem Ulalume (from Closed on Account of Rabies: Poems and Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, 1997) The accompanying music just heightens the tension and provides a perfect atmosphere. #EdgarAllanPoe #BOTD #JeffBuckley www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgea...

Rather than listening to whole songs, I now get ChatGPT to make me 20 second audio-summaries of them. I’m probably missing a little bit of the “nuance” but it’s so much more efficient.

Records show that Mark spent years learning to breathe underwater in order to "experience the pristine soundscape of the pelagic". In private letters he scoffs at relying on "lifeless digital recordings". Did he succeed? The listener must decide. tonaldrift.bandcamp.com/track/denize...

It finally arrived! Affinity on vinyl. My second album cover, but my first time on the front of a vinyl LP sleeve. A fantastic album which I feel honoured to have played a tiny part in. Available on CD, download or vinyl here : monochromemotif.bandcamp.com/album/affini...

through early morning fog I see visions of the things to be

je rêvais d'une autre terre qui resterait un mystère une terre moins terre à terre oui, je voulais tout foutre en l'air

and in case of passing strangers who are standing where I fell tell the truth you never knew me and in truth it's just as well

I deleted my feed cause I was contemplating leaving blue but I’m still here! There’s people and stuff here I can’t find on insta. So fresh start for 2026!
