Thinking of @capgrasman.bsky.social a lot at the moment. Few of us can have lived in a city under military bombardment. I hope he's safe.

Chronique disque - Peter Knight : For A Moment The Sky Knew My Name Déjà auteur d'un album sur Room40 en 2022, non recensé sur nos pages, Peter Knight avait, en revanche, croisé notre route il y a quelques mois, à (…)

After spotting him last year alongside Ojerum, we now find Peter Knight flying solo, weaving his trumpet notes into electronic layers and granular textures. It’s surprising, stunning, and available on @room40.bsky.social

Lawrence English: Between the Microphone and the Mind Lawrence English reflects on the impossible trios of 'Trinity,' acid nostalgia as a weapon against possible futures, and how the tension between the microphone and the psychological ear shapes his field recording practice.

we've been lucky to have many fantastic conversations published on The Tonearm thus far, and this one between the two Lawrences — @lawrenceperyer.com and @room40.bsky.social — is a top fiver no doubt about it 💥

SYD folks...Makino Takashi is coming to visit....the show at Art Gallery NSW is already almost sold out....don't sleep!

Gotta say that @room40.bsky.social has been a remarkable label to learn about more over the years. A generous range of artists in a shared sphere, steadily expanding possibilities.

… Among the many topics discussed, English shares his theories on "acid nostalgia," the tension between space and place in field recording, and why he stopped performing for eight years.

Be sure to tune in to this fascinating conversation: podcast.thetonearm.com/lawrence-eng...

This was honestly a joy. Lawrence at @thetonearm.com , was open to covering some wide terrain including my proposal of Acid Nostalgia, listening and weight lifting, surprise, and the joys of collaborating with people like stephen vitiello.
