It has now been five weeks since the noted noise/drone musician Siavash Amini posted from where he lives in Tehran. Any number of reasons might be why. We do not know. Again, please consider investigating his work.

Black and white photo of Conrad Schnitzler standing in a field, with an EMS Synthi A at his feet, both facing us. He is wearing headphones, and the headphone cable is connected to the Synthi. He is holding up both hands like an orchestral conductor.
