Kind of curious if Eno knows about this.
I'm sympathetic to this essay's argument from the first sentence but it exceeds expectations at every level. Great stuff.
Loved the last one. Looking forward to this one!

Wow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=moq2...
On the day that the US and Israel started bombing Iran a shortwave radio station began broadcasting numbers – a technique commonly used by spy agencies to transmit orders in code. A strange, compelling listen – thanks @scannerdot.com for the heads-up

The front cover of the first paperback edition (Bantam, 1967) of The Crying of Lot 49. Cover art: Dancing woman with blue hair, blue mini dress and Paisley top surrounded by monochrome Paisley swirls. In the middle-distance: a Beat-group drummer at his drumkit. A Bizarre, Saturnalian Plunge Into The Underground "A Streamlined Doomsday Machine." - The New York Times
The back cover of the first paperback edition (Bantam, 1967) of The Crying of Lot 49. Same artwork as the front. WHO IS OEDIPA MAAS? And what was she doing when the Paranoids blew out all the lights? What was the strange legacy of Pierce Inverarity that first led her to the world-wide conspiracy known as the Tristero System, and then on into the mystery and enigma of America itself? The Crying of Lot 49 "Full of sadness, terror, love and flamboyance... The major character is really Pynchon himself." -The New York Times "Pynchon's grim version of the Holy Grail... The work of a virtuoso with prose... His intricate symbolic order ..akin to that of Joyce's Ulysses." -Chicago Tribune

Another great entry from Chris aka La Synthèse Humaine www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uT3.... Talking about Radigue and an approach to FM feedback we were chatting about last week.
A wonderful remembrance...and it also confirms my distaste for Schaeffer.
The greatest. Her Oeuvres Electroniques box set would be one of the things I would grab first if the house was burning down. RIP

R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.
b&w photo of Éliane Radigue at the NY Cultural Center in 1971 ( or ‘72? ), installing for the premiere of “Chry-ptus”, standing alone in rows of empty auditorium seating
quote from Éliane Radigue: “It's the quality of the listening one brings to sound that makes it perceptible; it's the listening that makes it our own, according to the quality of our attention. If you open your body and your mind to listening with an active attitude, you will draw out very specific things. The condition for listening is obviously different according to the point in time, according to one's state of mind. That's the mirror effect, it's a reflection of one's state of mind in that moment. There exists a means of listening to any sound and making music of it.“
thank you Éliane Radigue. a towering inspiration in learning how to listen & lifetime creative practice.
Farewell to French composer Éliane Radigue (1932-2026) who taught us the radical power of slowness, of patience, and attention stretched to the threshold of perception. Her work will continue to resonate—slowly, endlessly—like a tone that never quite fades.
What a loss. One of the most important artists of the past 50 years.
Kevin McCloud is great.
Also, we only have a handful of the 3CD set of Contraluz left in stock.
Yes, there is a new batch of FOUR new releases coming out shortly on Critique of Everyday Life!
Jump on our last release before the new batch drops.
Ha. Chris absolutely knows his shit.
