Farewell to the lovely and inspiring Steve Kurtz (1958 - 2025) who was an American artist and co-founder of the art collective Critical Art Ensemble

Delighted to have a chat with the legendary Martyn Ware for his Soundpower Podcast. We chatted about recording cities instead of photographing them, my permanent installation in a Paris morgue and much more. Tune in here on Youtube youtu.be/PuYNBmSYUhw?...

. @bandcamp.com agrees "It will be great fun, and you will have plenty of time to ask questions" Listening party for Gareth Davis & @scannerdot.com their upcoming Songlines. November 19th. gareth-davis.bandcamp.com/merch/songli...

A joy to see the inspiring and highly influential collages of Dada artist Raoul Hausmann in Berlin this week, which remain as magical as ever, at Berlinische Galerie

First place I could be found in Berlin - the dreamy world of Buchhandlung Walther König!!

A little experiment, sharing my monthly newsletter, sent out for the past 26+ years, every month on the first of the month. Just to see if there's also an audience on Substack. robinrimbaud.substack.com/p/111025-fro...

Thrilled to present a new performance work based on the world of Allen Ginsberg in Berlin this coming Saturday 8 November. Tickets are free too. www.poetrepublik.com/event/speech...

Yorgos Lanthimos is wired for discomfort again, with a wonderful tale of a conspiracy obsessed beekeeper and the madness that follows.

Sunday afternoon listening on Quadrant Park, a new label from @frozenreeds.com - with algorithmic music that seems to constantly internally collapse from SDEM @5d3m.bsky.social

The extraordinary space I get to perform in tonight at OGR Turin, to launch the opening of "Electric Dreams: Art & Technology Before the Internet." Now, look into my eyes, not around my eyes, into my eyes...

Good morning Turin! It’s good to see you again!

I've had a number of people ask me about the making of my new album, "Forces, Reactions, Deflections" on @quietdetails.bsky.social so here's an extended interview with lots of intriguing photographs scannerdot.com/forces-react...

A date for your diary - an absolute honour to support the Cabs in Norwich on Saturday 21st February 2026 at Synth East @electronicsound.bsky.social @norwichartscentre.bsky.social norwichartscentre.co.uk/event/synth-...

An ideal album for napping then, with a way to wake you up when necessary too 😄

Farewell to the electronic genius Dave Ball (1959-2025) whose pop music with Soft Cell defined an era, and launched alt dance with The Grid. His Strict Tempo (1983) solo album remains an all time fave of mine too.

Very excited about this London show for 2026

Who else remembers the 'future' of technology, where you would call the operator and leave a telephone number or a coded message (helpful suggestions from Mercury at the time included 1664 - fancy a beer? and 69 for a hot date!!). Amazing!

Thanks to @electronicsound.bsky.social for this beautiful 7" single from Brian Eno ❤️

Berlin folks - don't delay - tickets are free for this very special event. I'm performing live on 8 November, premiering a new work based on the poetry of Allen Ginsberg. Tickets are extremely limited though! www.poetrepublik.com/event/speech...

A midweek distraction for you, well, for only 3 minutes, but it's a little cover of a charming song by British singer-songwriter Nick Drake, using only instruments from @soniccouture.bsky.social youtu.be/OQrZmHxUP1Q

Fresh from @normanrecords.com it's a Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan medley of releases @warringtonruncorn.com @castlesinspace.bsky.social

For those look for some truly wild and wonderful exploratory sounds, this 4CD boxset with booklet is a gem. It's curated by Bill Perrine who wrote the most illuminating Alien Territory: Radical, Experimental, & Irrelevant Music In 1970s San Diego. A gem!

A fascinating interview with musician Mark Fell covering so much ground, touching on TG and Coil, software, hill climbing and so much more. @boomkat.com @frozenreeds.com toneglow.substack.com/p/tone-glow-...

Read more of the inside story and today is the last day for half price digital so don’t delay 😃

An inspiring and personal look at the archives of the late Steve Roden, by his good pal Stephen Vitiello for The Kitchen NYC. thekitchen.org/on-mind/stev...

I met a fellow tonight who heard my music for the very first time and enjoyed it, describing it as if “driving a milk float on acid”! How brilliant

Huge thanks for making all the kind words and making qd40 @scannerdot.com album of the week! 🙏🩶

I am deeply flattered by the deeply generous words over at @moonbuilding.bsky.social for my new album and work in general, touching on so much. Wow. I'm blushing, and that's my Oscar speech over with 😁 moonbuilding.substack.com/p/issue-82-0...

Come along tomorrow night at the @southbankcentre.bsky.social for this exhibition and talk, and which I have curated a special soundtrack for. Emilia Telese creates the most beautiful works too. Tickets are free but you need to book them. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dust-fores...

Always a good day when the post has this logo on it 😀 Time for some 1980s Discipline (and more) I think! @burningshed.com

Excited to share something very unusual and unique with the world very soon 😃

What a joyful find in Oxfam for just £5.00 - this rare 1990 heavily illustrated catalogue of work by graphic designer Vaughan Oliver of 4AD

Every wondered why some music might sound utterly soulless to you? Here’s a clue from a K-pop producer who treats music like some kind of exacting science, where any kind human mistake or character can’t be left untouched.

Just a little reminder for your busy calendar. A super intimate show in London, with an extremely limited edition vinyl 7" only available at this show. www.sjqdalston.com/programme#ca...

For the David Bowie fans out there, here's a very rarely seen and magnificent concert on Musikladen Extra from Bremen on 29 May 1978, now complete and with a 2025 Restoration. Amazing stuff! @davidbowiereal.bsky.social youtu.be/L9EVdLeBkSI?...

Farewell to Stephen Luscombe of Blancmange. This tune remains an absolute classic www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW_m...

What an opportunity for someone - the legendary David Lynch Compound is on sale for $15million. It's a joy just to look inside through the photos www.theagencyre.com/single-famil...

A way to lose valuable hours in your day, a brave attempt to catalogue an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space! everynoise.com

Available today for the first time - my interpretation of Gavin Bryar's legendary work, 'The Sinking of the Titanic,' performed with celebrated violinist Todd Reynolds, and recorded live in Philadelphia in 2007 @toddreynolds.com scanner.bandcamp.com/album/the-si...

Wow, I'm not sure how long this will remain online but how about live footage of Sonic Youth from 1982 at the Danceteria NYC in their earliest raw formation. An incredible piece of history here! youtu.be/IJ7itCq_u-w?...

The most moving thing - a graveyard for dogs at Wrest Park, and visitors have left sticks for the dearly departed dogs 😍

So great to see this feature in the Guardian, celebrating a seminal electronic music event in London, and I'm still friends with so many of the folks from this time too. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/a...

Some lovely musical things I found whilst cleaning the cupboard this week 😃 amongst many other things too

How about a blissfully hypnotic live performance from the legendary Terry Riley at the Holland Festival in 1977 youtu.be/ZfHmEblM1Dk?...
