Music journalists: do your research. If you don't find the answer, go to the source and ask the person you are writing about. There’s a big difference between representation and presentation. I am not only someone's wife. My whole life is art, including the rejection of certain concepts.

I think my next move is to Hawaii. Between the kind and nice folks and the food I think it would be a nice place to live for a while. By the way, this drink was amazing.

I keep forgetting to promote my art and design work (this includes a “booklet”) and although the official release date is July 3, you can now stream and purchase the entire Cecil Taylor Orchestra Humane set AT IRIDIUM 2004. ceciltaylor-bam.bandcamp.com/album/at-iri...

At night, moving from abstract to concrete.

Cellophane sheets and light.

Twist of fate. Film did not advance completely. Half-frame camera, Ilfordcolor film.

Half-frame diptych.

On July 3, Burning Ambulance Music will be releasing AT IRIDIUM 2004 by Cecil Taylor's Orchestra Humane. It contains 14 complete sets of music by this 15-member band, recorded March 23-28, 2004. ceciltaylor-bam.bandcamp.com/album/at-iri...

This is doubly cute because Miffy is actually Dutch, not Japanese

Agnes Denes.

For a while the only person seeing my work has been @burningambulance.bsky.social — I guess I should share some pieces.

I'm not gonna vote for it myself, but Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxley's FLASHING SPIRITS is nominated in the Historical Album category in this year's DownBeat Critics' Poll. (The CDs are long gone, but you can still buy it digitally.) ceciltaylor-bam.bandcamp.com/album/flashi...

Today's BA newsletter starts with a photo from @iza3800.bsky.social and includes thoughts on books I've read, movies I've seen, and articles on Quentin Tarantino, the Beach Boys, and more! As always on Fridays, paying subscribers get extra stuff. burningambulance.substack.com/p/links-n-st...

The biggest project Burning Ambulance Music has ever undertaken is coming sooner than you think. Get excited.

A continuation of my autonomous archiving project.

My art & design work on the next two releases from Burning Ambulance Music: Joel Futterman & William Parker's Transcendent Universe and Ava Mendoza's Alive Alone, Alive Together (with Hamid Drake). You can pre-order on Bandcamp starting today but the albums' official release date is May 22.

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.

Happy Friday the 13th! Today's BA newsletter has: - movies I watched - books I read - a streaming radio show - articles worth reading - an awesome photo by @iza3800.bsky.social - video of John Coltrane live in 1965 (if you're a paying subscriber) burningambulance.substack.com/p/links-n-st...

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.

I listened to all six cds.

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.

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...

Kazuko Miyamoto.

Found painting.
