In today's newsletter, Diego Caicedo writes about some new recordings of Shostakovich's complete string quartets, and how that music has influenced his own work. This is a brilliant piece, and I hope you'll reward Diego by buying his albums. burningambulance.substack.com/p/diego-caic...

In today's mail: One of the coolest projects I've ever been privileged to work on. The Cecil Taylor Unit's Fragments: The Complete 1969 Salle Pleyel Concerts is a 3LP or 2CD set coming out on Record Store Day, April 18.

The last of the snow images. Higher temperatures and rain have melted most of it away.

While everyone is talking about spring, this is what’s going on here.

In a dream I became the person responsible for taking care of the preservation of ledger art in my community. (Ledger art by Terran Last Gun)

In today's newsletter, I review two new books about Prestige Records, one focused on the music and the other on the albums' covers. burningambulance.substack.com/p/two-books-...

A poem by Ursula K. Le Guin from So Far So Good - Final Poems: 2014-2018.

Currently obsessed with this theme. It would be nice to witness the talk, but Brooklyn is a little far. Maybe someone will post video.

Afternoon listening, reading and sketchbook page.

I listened to all six cds.

Paper fragments.

Posting this version because it reminds me of an Agnes Pelton painting.

The full design for this release, printed on textured paper.

Editing images this weekend. I often forget I take photos with a digital camera (not a phone).

Hey, guess what? We’re preparing two new CDs for release later this spring! And you purchasing copies of our awesome back catalog of releases will help defray the costs of manufacturing the new ones! So head to Bandcamp and grab some music today! burningambulancemusic.bandcamp.com

I wrote a review of Paul Elie's book The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s for the Metropolitan Review. Check it out, won't you? www.metropolitanreview.org/p/gotta-serv...

This shot required two attempts on different days. The shadows are exactly what I was looking for.

Watched The Secret Agent — what an amazing movie about memory. Not only the collective memory of a particular time but the idea that forgotten memories also influence our lives.

Nature’s mirror.

Got two CDs in the mail from an apparently Japan-based (though the CDs came from Fort Lee, NJ) arty post-metal group called Sleepwalker accompanied by a note reading "Not solicitation - Appreciation - Thank you for everything! Maybe you will enjoy; Thanks for inspiration." vnkv.bandcamp.com/music

Scanning film this afternoon.

Sensorial field.

Received a promotional copy of the new edition of Graphème. This publication explores contemporary productions of experimental music scores. The encoding of information is such an important part of the graphic score or notational format in each piece.

I keep seeing the same words and phrases in painters’ artists’ statements. “Sensorial field” is #1 for abstract painting, followed by “gesture and material become structure, while color is pushed to create atmosphere.” Stop asking for statements — everyone is just copying each other.

Éliane Radigue’s Trilogies de la Mort will be played first.

Watched an interesting film last night about Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck. The low light scenes and landscapes were gorgeous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGgu...

Today’s reading: HAUNTED SOUNDTRACKS: Audiovisual Cultures of Memory, Landscape, and Sound, edited by K.J. Donnelly and Aimee Mollaghan.

Sending music and art to the manufacturer for the next two releases from Burning Ambulance Music. Coming May 22.

Kazuko Miyamoto.

Found painting.

Happy Valentine's Day to all. @iza3800.bsky.social showed me this poem a few years ago, and I think it explains why we've been together more than 30 years.

Photo collage.

I don’t think a Predator and me have too much in common.

Personhood is not a metaphysical question, it's a political question. AI personhood debates focus only on the former to obscure the latter.

Absolutely delighted to have a piece of my work grace the front cover of this beauty "Transformative Repetition in Experimental and Post-Digital Poetics" ed. @brunoministro.bsky.social Hardback, April2026, Edinburgh University Press. Thank you Bruno 🙏 : edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-transfo...

Today is the fifth anniversary of the release of the first Burning Ambulance Music CD, Ivo Perelman & Nate Wooley's POLARITY! We've still got some physical copies (and are offering a special bundle price on all four volumes of the POLARITY series)! ivoperelman-bam.bandcamp.com/album/polarity

Still want to see a Bice Lazzari piece in person. In the meantime I will go through the pages of these books.
