strooken, by Phil Maguire 1 track album

Revisiting more old releases. 'strooken' shows that I am not good at making tape loops. This one degrades over the course of 90 minutes

Qué inadecuada es la palabra ejecución para referirse a lo que hacemos los intérpretes.

Frente a la actitud de mafiosos cutres del dúo Trump-Vance, lo único que hay que hacer es enviarles a la mierda. Públicamente. Explícitamente. Y sobre todo ya. Sin esperar a la siguiente jugada de matones de escuela.

go over the fretboard, by Taku Sugimoto 2 track album

There's a new Taku Sugimoto album just out. This is him playing to his strengths I think: using space, timbre and resonance in way that holds form but doesn't overly pronounce and exaggerate the time between each gesture. takusugimoto.bandcamp.com/album/go-ove...

¿Qué significa que sellos abocados a la difusión de música experimental empiecen a ser considerados como exponentes de música clásica? Esto confirma lo que hace rato es evidente: las preguntas ahora son certezas. Estamos frente a un estilo musical.

The Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp, January 2025 Solo guitar explorations, skipping vinyl, a score to a film about an artificial brain, and more top tier experimental releases from January.

January edition of Best Experimental Music on Bandcamp column is up. I still feel conflicted about writing for a site that laid off my editor and other great people. But I guess for now getting the word out about good music is enough to rationalize it. daily.bandcamp.com/best-experim...

Loving this from @anothertimbre.bsky.social, beautiful, intelligent playing by @apartment-house.bsky.social (you can really hear the text in their lines) and fab new pieces by @jamesweeks.bsky.social. Nice. Very nice.

Musicophobia, or Sound Art and the Demands of Art Theory When Suzan Philipsz won the 2010 Turner Prize, it was the first time in the award’s history that it went to a sound artist. The mere fact of Philipz’s victory often overshadowed critical assessment…

Early Wandelweiser:

Wandelweiser on Bandcamp. It just started with the first recordings from the 1990s. A treasure to discover.
