The Sacred Progression

Close listen for a bright early autumn morning. The Durutti Column.
It is like time travel

Close listen to Stars of the Lid debut and ascertaining whether to buy the 2LP rerelease that just appeared.
#nowlistening

Close listen in the early autumn early morning softest rain. Eno. Lux.

#nowlistening

Autumn is coming but not quite engaged enough to warrant The Pearl. So this close listen will suffice in the mean time. Harold Budd. Lovely Thunder

#nowplaying

Lee Miller’s boots

After another long sleepless night no better close listen than L. Cohen’s (once) Recent Songs.
#nowlistening to the dear departed.

Somewhere between sirens, time travel, explosives and breaking stain glass windows. Counterpointed by the coda of our song, Stained Glass Before and After, natürlich.

Visual programming by @michaelbegg.studio

Finally starting to get my head around working with a matrix rather than a single procedural timeline of data points to generate sound.

This morning a close listen to Scotland’s sublime and tragic Lowlife. Diminuendo #nowlistening

Today, with @verlorenschatten.bsky.social working on our appreciation for the colour RED

This morning’s deep listen is not really deep. At this distance it seems almost quaint. But such impressions were made back then. Current 93 Live at Bar Maldoror

Tuesday close listen. The Passage. Pindrop. This has become somewhat crackly over the years, but remains a claustrophobic mysterious beauty. #nowlistening

Monday am deep listen, and the warmest, darkest synth sound. Faith, The Cure. #nowlistening

This morning’s close listen is Leonard Cohen live - and loaded on ALL the drugs - at the Isle of Wight. The only way to tame the beast is to confuse it beyond measure. Natürlich #nowlistening

Gorgeous…..

Persistence is everything. Take a bite of this apple now.

The music is not free. Many pay their subscription to the store of choice in return for thematic playlists that agree with them. The relationship is between listener and vendor. No listener/artist relationship. It is a social and cultural failure.

Image shows text from a facebook post complaining about ditto Musics handling of an Omnempathy release. Text reads "You may recall that my label, Omnempathy, released a recording by Verloren Schatten. Ditto Music , the digital distributor I decided to trial for the first time - quietly, without saying anything to me, determined the recording to be ‘generic instrumental music’ and consequently failed to send the recording to Apple for release on the Apple music store. Frontline support remained unengaged and recycled the same line repeatedly that their agreement with Apple prevented them from submitting generic instrumental music. They remained impervious to my 25 year history of successfully releasing music with a reasonable degree of critical success, and my proposal that I might be better placed to determine if it was 'generic' in any way. I invited them repeatedly to review the release as they had made a judgement on the recording that was not only insulting to the artist, it was plainly wrong. Not only did they fail to do this, they refused my numerous requests to escalate the matter. Subsequent mail to the CEO, the press office and chief operating officer have not been responded to. It seems, therefore, that Ditto failed in their single duty for which they were paid; to distribute the work of the label. They have, however, elected themselves as aesthetic arbiter and artistic critic. The financial consequence of this is crushingly small, of course. who but the few make any money with digital sales? But Apple has further reach than the other platforms, and for this reason it is the point of principle that matters. A distributor takes the decision unilaterally to judge a piece of work and determine for themselves what it is, what it constitutes and whether it deserves to be passed on to the store. They do this without telling the label - who has paid for the service - what they have done."

Last word from the Ditto Music fiasco over the @verlorenschatten.bsky.social record. Grabbed from FB where there is a more expansive text limit.

Close listen to SWANS. This was the high water mark. Slow, monumental., utterly without precedent #nowplaying
