Hotham Sound

Someone asked me what it sounds like and I would say it sounds like a 5 million year old robot sitting alone in an abandoned aircraft hanger beatboxing to itself while banging on a pair of bongos.

Best sounding drum machine of all time. Don't sleep.

Loula Yorke: From London Squats to Rural Suffolk An in-depth conversation with the UK composer and synthesist

I participated in a long-form word-torrent with Stephan Kunze of Zen Sounds, he did an admirable job of transcribing it. Thanks to all who came to the listening party last night. I still have some CDs left, do treat yourself to a double CD of ear candy via the truxalis bandcamp shop 🌿

It sounds fucking amazing.

Ep 226: The Importance of 'Seriousness,' or Why Palestinians Can't Be Witness to Their Own Genocide (Part I) Citations Needed is a podcast about the media, power, PR, and the history of bullshit. It is hosted by Nima Shirazi and Adam Johnson, and produced by Florence Barrau-Adams.

In Ep 226, "The Importance of 'Seriousness,' or Why Palestinians Can't Be Witness to Their Own Genocide (Part I)," we detail NYT & WSJ's incitement campaign against the UN in Jan 2024 and how it directly assisted Israel's starvation campaign.

They're both so amazing. One of those films that makes you realize how incredibly one-dimensional most Hollywood films are.

Just watched 'A Woman Under the Influence' for the first time since college and I can't tell you how much harder this film hits once you become a parent. Gena Rowlands was a creative genius and deserves to be on our money.

Waste Knot, by Alex Archibald 17 track album

This is an album of immense beauty. If you're into Joseph Allred, Kevin Coleman, Kostas Bezos, John Fahey, Moondog, and Django Reinhardt, Alex has blended their influence with his own experience of the Pacific Northwest into a unique form of musical folk art.

Ten MORE Tracks That Sound Like Summer Early summer is filled with anticipation, while late summer is graced by a sense of melancholy.  We’re in mid-summer now, caught between the two extremes.  These dog days are characterized by…

Nice to see Playback Head included in this beautiful collection of tracks.

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS

The Times always manages to use words that make Israel a victim, somehow

Rami's post is about the moral vacuousness of the Democratic party, not how great MTG is. The fact that utterly repugnant figures like her and Tucker Carlson have lapped the dems on Gaza is pathetic. Unthinkable really, except there it is.

This golden oldie goes out to the racist apartheid state of Israel, in the sincere hope that there is a god, and that he is vengeful beyond all comprehension.

Today my 2 yr old put a pillow over my face and leaned all his weight on it and literally all I could think was 'if only he was stronger.'

If this sounds dark you've never been the parent of a 2 or old.

This is an incredibly insightful piece of writing on the best film of the 90s. Take a minute.

This album fucks by the way

From the Hotham Sound 10 year anniversary show on saltspring island last weekend.
@hothamsound.bsky.social

No words to describe the beauty of this event. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially Ben and Raf and all the Hotham Sound artists. ☀️

Hey folks, response to this show has been bigger than anticipated and tickets are almost sold out. If you're still planning on coming but don't have a ticket, grab one before they're gone. At this point we have no way of guaranteeing there will be any available at the door.

See you on the Island!

Kevin, the fact that you know in advance that everyone on Bluesky is gonna ridicule your ass-kissing tech-bro nonsense is not the preemptive checkmate you think it is. Enjoy the money, it's never gonna buy you a soul.

Waking Life & Dreaming Live - Letters to the Sun, by VA 19 track album

Astonishing compilation, this, featuring new music from Faten Kanaan, Nicolás Jaar, Israa Shalaby and many others. Proceeds go to the Revive Gaza's Farmland project set up in response to the weaponisation of food in the ongoing genocide. You know what to do. dreaminglive.bandcamp.com/album/waking...

Cognitive dissonance on a level beyond comprehension.

Is it supposed to say 'emotional resonance?'

Really not happy with how perfectly this clocks.
