i've reached the final frontier of music fandom: field recordings

Here’s a special message from @dameevelynglennie.bsky.social, as there are now just TWO MONTHS left to take part in our project Ways of Listening.

Over the past few months, with so many submissions already sent in, Ways of Listening has grown into something rich, surprising, and deeply human.

At @cafeotodalston.bsky.social tonight for Nathalie Forget and her ondes Martenot. Terrific viscerally exciting piece by Pascale Criton

Jan Jelinek's Faitiche label welcomes veteran German sound artist Christina Kubisch with a gorgeous anthology of "non-music" compositions using electromagnetic interference and tuning forks, which are much more approachable than any of that sounds

Umut Eldem aka Hearing Glass has a great set of video tutorials. They're implemented perfectly in Max...

Get spectral: understand how those tools work under the hood, and even try building one yourself, with tutorials for @cycling74.bsky.social Max:

Sometimes I like to take my satellite tracker for a walk across the sky. I just came across Luch/Olymp, a Russian spy satellite, sent up in 2014 to 'observe' other satellites. Although still transmitting it's now broken apart and exists primarily as a debris risk in the geostationary belt.

I'm in Hereford this weekend for a microtonal durational drone event at De Koffie Pot with a bunch of incredible musicians.

Out with the doggies this cold blustery season, so thinking about the seasons led to some more Max, 'Vivaldi Recomposed' (2012, Tidal)

Гільдеґарда (Hildegard), by Heinali & Andriana-Yaroslava Saienko 3 track album

Faut être dans l'humeur, mais c'est vraiment très beau.
2 musiciens ukrainiens interprètent et étendent des morceaux de Hildegard von Bingen, chant envoutant aux accents folkloriques, drones et plus au synthétiseur modulaire.

This is coming, too!

And thanks to @newnumbertwo.bsky.social for reminding me that GSX dropped in November -- "Granular synthesis module based on Barry Truax's GSX system (1985-86), with real-time control over temporal, spectral, and spatial parameters."

Does it comb? Yes, it does: (ok, now I go sleep)
