Warren Hatter

Hi nick i'm here. Not posting much but the book is forthcoming on @strangeattractor.bsky.social

Ha. I’m struggling to think of a less romantic track than the brilliant ‘464’ on side 2

“Radigue homed in on the sound – looked within it. She was a true experimental artist” My piece for @thequietus.com remembering Éliane Radigue, who left us on Monday

Thanks for all the love for this, and thanks @thequietus.com for commissioning. Éliane was - and remains - such an inspiration.

"Sounds can have their own meaning" – Remembering Éliane Radigue | The Quietus Warren Hatter reflects on the life of an extraordinary, innovative artist, ignored for most of her life before being celebrated this century

I wrote a ‘Remember Them’ piece for @thequietus.com about the wonderful Éliane Radigue. I hope I’ve done her justice thequietus.com/news/remembe...

So true. Realising that high volume isn’t necessary for her work’s impact was a massive step for me in appreciating Radigue. (A lesson I learned someone on the other place many years ago)

Farewell to French composer Éliane Radigue (1932-2026) who taught us the radical power of slowness, of patience, and attention stretched to the threshold of perception. Her work will continue to resonate—slowly, endlessly—like a tone that never quite fades.

Oh no. She was unique. There’s a case that Éliane was the most revolutionary musician of our times, and yet almost unknown until 25 years ago.

I saw drummer Charles Hayward at the Hayward Gallery

Only Came To Say Goodbye, by Ryan J Raffa & Sam Prekop 6 track album

Everything about this tape is beautiful crashsymbols.bandcamp.com/album/only-c.... By @rjraffa.bsky.social @1sampre.bsky.social on Crash Symbols out of West Virginia. The label is open to UK/EU distribution so raise your hand if you might be able to help.

Bodie & Zeulh

It was also an oddly reserved crowd on Friday night in Brighton. I wonder if it’s because they’re doing a proper ‘tour the album’ show, with older tracks picked to fit stylistically into the set … but half the crowd hoped for a heritage thing??

Serge Gainsbourg - Aux Armes Et Cætera View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 2003 CD release of "Aux Armes Et Cætera" on Discogs.

You could count this dub/version double CD as two albums, I suppose www.discogs.com/release/2575...

oops - Rëlisp, not Rëslip

Warthåk, by Rëlisp 4 track album

There's a band in Mexico called Rëslip making heavy Zeuhl with the intensity, but not the virtuosity, of Koenjihyakkei. Thrilling stuff noizumx.bandcamp.com/album/warth-k

Let’s do this. (I have - to Tidal a while ago)

Alt text should be: “cover of Elizabeth Alker book ‘Everything We Do is Music: How 20th-Century Classical Music Shaped Pop’”

Well this looks fascinating www.faber.co.uk/product/9780...

I know a lot of us have feelings about Bandcamp’s changes in ownership over the last few years. But it’s still true that buying music directly from independent labels and artists on Bandcamp remains one of the best ways to support the musicians you listen to.

French is Earth Ghor!

This reads like WeTransfer will train LLMs on all the stuff we transfer, royalty-free forever. You know, the stuff you’ve slaved over that has some value.

An album of experimental music made by Todmorden school children evokes The Necks, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and a series of exotic locale. The kids are all right, says @spinal-bap.bsky.social

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms.

And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell...

This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...
