Black Truffle release their Hans Reichel collection this Friday. If you've never heard Reichel, do yourself a favour and listen to the pre-released tracks here. One of the greatest guitarists ever to radically reimagine the instrument.
Sonemic Interview: Jim O'Rourke (@steamroom.bsky.social)
Prolific producer, performer, and improviser Jim O'Rourke speaks with insight and affection on music, noise, films, and frogs in this interview with @calcash.in.

“A tree, a flower, the countless forms of life in the waters, in the air, in the earth and this evolving species, mankind… this so precious existence, hosting billions of living elements which are microscopic to its own gaze”
"I told you... you ask me a question and after that you have to take a Kalashnikov to stop me!" I think about Eliane & her work often; beyond bedrock for me, but it was hearing her describe her music in the most animated, matter-of-fact way that sticks out; R.I.P.

I met Éliane in person just the once.
I was working on something at GRM. I looked up from my own dabblings and through the window to the next studio to see her sat there... tweaking *that* filter on *that* synthesizer... 🤯
I asked Kate Molleson to interview Éliane for that first occasion. You can ready the resulting essay online here: edition-festival.com/en/p/Eliane-...
Honored to have been able to present her work during the Second and Fifth Edition Festivals here in Stockholm.

What a radiant being. Big life. Untouchable legacy.
My deepest condolences to all those close to her.
Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources.
You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy
Recorded on this day 10 years ago: Ellen Fullman and @okkyunglee.bsky.social ’The Air Around Her’
