Fia Fiell's Endless Filament feels like a slow burning stream of pure energy. In its uncoling sense of direction and movement, it begins as an odyssey of calm before its force quietly builds toward ecstatic sensation. This is beautiful, all-encompassing work.  - fiafiell

"I haven’t been working with musical ideas for a while. I’ve been working on my mode of consciousness. And the result of the mode is the music" (Pauline Oliveros in "Music with Roots in the Aether").

Love this idea that music results from something other than the practice of music: "Sonic Meditations are intended for group work over a long period of time with regular meetings. . . . Music is a welcome by-product of this activity."

R.I.P. Pharoah Sanders, October 13, 1940 - September 24, 2022. Here he is performing "Kazuko" in a tunnel in San Francisco in 1982.

there may have been more proficient or musical players out there but I’ve never heard anyone who could push the whole human experience through their horn like Pharoah, pain, joy, rage, serenity, sex, fire all lived in his lungs.

"I play one note, maybe that one note might mean love. And then another note might mean something else. Keep on going like that until it develops into - maybe something beautiful." Pharoah Sanders Friday. (and forever)

Two wonderful artists who made two wonderful works for LE this year come together this Saturday in Melbourne to perform. See Kane Ikin’s techno mosaic Boundary Curve and Fia Fiell’s sublime Endless Filament in real time, with Draft Echo and Ria Revell. Deep treats aplenty!

Spotify, Pitchfork, Ticketmaster, The Grammies...they have their definition of music. It is fine. It’s not the only one. Music can have other purposes than profit and winning. Or, whether it can or not, it did and it does and it will. Capitalism’s idea of music is a blip.

This idea was something i learned from Pauline Oliveros, who made a point to stretch to infinity the purposes to which music has been and could be put.

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

Do you remember when Israel posted fake audio and fake video to create confusion about who did one of the bombings of a hospital they had previously threatened to bomb? That was several dozen hospital bombings ago.

It’s important to cut through Spotify’s bullshit spin about this - it will benefit the major labels and no one else. No more money is being added to the system. But $40-$46 million will be shifted away from smaller artists/labels and to the majors. That’s all this accomplishes

Heading to the US next week!!

The Caretaker work is on all streaming services. Do I want it there ? No. But I have been left with zero choice as people endlessly tried to monetise and exploit the work by repeatedly uploading it. System is beyond broken. Interview coming soon out there about this.

I got harassed in November from people I grew up with for saying that we were taught that Israeli lives were more valuable than Palestinians. As Israel now indiscriminately bombs Rafah, slaughtering over 100 Palestinians to retrieve 2 Israelis - and this is celebrated without
