I'm losing track of the number of longform concerts(2x a year for some years), but we (How Things Are Made) are doing another durational evening of performances with guests. Four hours of electroacoustic experiments. Guests tba.
October 4 @ The Space Upstairs in collaboration w/ The Pillow Project.
The premiere was packed last night.
A nice peaceful watch on a Sunday morning.

Not for nothing, Jodie Foster was wearing these headphones in Contact (1997). Has this headphone design not changed in nearly 20 years?

Have never seen a full Robert Wilson piece, but this clip always sticks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDqN... I believe ANOHNI is the composer for this work. RIP Robert Wilson.

A label is digitally re-issuing a number of early 90s records, including Longpigs' first record. For my money, probably the greatest (or most consistently great) Britpop record to ever be released. Only to be followed by a second album that is quite awful. decibelrock.bandcamp.com/album/longpi...

Certain constraints were decided upon, i.e. the drums should be muted but recorded in a room where a natural reverberance could be captured. And the kit should include metal items.

Across six pieces, the band worked through structural devicesβriffs, stereo bass loops blasting through two bass cabs, games involving time and time signaturesβwith an interest in evolving a group dynamic, having never played together in this configuration before the initial recording session.

Additional recordings were made at Bernabo's Woolslayer Traveling Studio, and composer Brian Riordan (of How Things Are Made) mastered the record.
