The wonderful folks at Yeah I Know It Sucks (aka Kai) have released not one but TWO mixes on Mixcloud titled FUNDERGROUND! Mix #2 features “Cosmonaut Chorus,” and truly is a fun time. Listen below or on Mixcloud and see the full tracklist on the YIKIS website.
“Harm” was featured on Mike Mannix‘s (aka Centripetal Force Records) beautiful WXNA show Hymns for the Universe yesterday. Catch it here to “reclaim the calm” with wonderful tunes from around the world.
Tyler Weaver had me on Parenthetical Recluse as his inaugural interview for a new series. Hear me ramble on about existential dread, Philip Glass, Earth, Wind & Fire, solo accordion free jazz, MAD MEN, and more (very on brand, right?). Read here, and a big thanks to Tyler for asking great questions, and for the kind words about my music.
Sunday April 26th I’ll be on the CreatorsRise Covid-19 Digital Telethon around 1pm CST. I’m going to sing a couple of songs live! Ryan Kairalla is an excellent interviewer; it’ll be a fun time and it’s for a good cause, benefiting the Sweet Relief Musician’s Fund. Get to it from here on Sunday.
My Delia Derbyshire-influenced “Metro Musix” is Electronic Sound Magazine’s Track of the Day! Pre-order on Wormhole World’s Bandcamp to benefit Delia Derbyshire Day.
Thank you to Kate for playing “Harm” on an absolutely thunderous episode of “Dark Train” on Warminster Community Radio. Catch it on Mixloud or below, and see the tracklist on Twitter.
Pre-orders for Retrophonica – Aetheric Transmissions, curated by John (Sound Effects of Death and Horror) and released by Wormhole World, are now available via Bandcamp. And with a pre-order you get a download of my contribution, “Metro Musix.” I put together a video for the song that Louder Than War was kind enough to premiere; check it out on the site, and read more about Delia Derbyshire Day.
I’m very grateful to announce that Farewell, Doomed Planet! has been nominated for an Independent Music Award for Best Longform Video. See the full playlist of videos here, and check out the IMA website for more nominees.
A wonderful new edition of Phantom Circuit is up on Mixcloud including my “Cosmonaut Chorus” from Farewell, Doomed Planet! along with the always excellent Letters From Mouse, Penderecki’s St. Luke’s Passion (RIP maestro), and many more. Listen below and see the track list on the Phantom Circuit website.
The Da-Dark Outside, a 24+ hour radio broadcast of recordings that have never been heard before, was scheduled to occur this spring from Kurt Schwitter’s Merz Barn in Langdale, Cumbria. Instead, for the first time ever, the Dark Outside will broadcast online starting tomorrow at 12pm UK (6am CST). There will be no tracklist, no listen again function, no archive. It’s playing once only. Go outside, far away from anyone else, and listen for as long as you can. See if you can figure out which piece (it’s called “MerzBowHaus”) is mine. Link for the broadcast + alphabetical listing of participating artists is here (Cosey Fanni Tutti!? Amazing).
Lagniappe: I made this image months ago, but I’m happy to have accidentally socially distanced us all.
