RIP Mimi. I caught them early on, '94 I believe, and even then they had it. their connection with each other and the audience was undeniable. I did not keep up with them much over the years until the last record came out - it totally blew me away. their evolution was stunning and beautiful. their music and life together is such a gift.

Just stumbled across this BBC World Service radio documentary about Yevgeny Murzin and the ANS synthesiser.
More about the ANS on Wikipedia:
Edit: Also this series is quite good.

One of my fave artists and I love that album. Thanks for sharing—had no idea about the anniversary!

Listening to the Evan J Cartwright album again this morning and realizing I never shared it here, and I don’t think it’s gotten the attention it deserves. Someone described it as post-modern Chet Baker, and I guess that’s fair?:
It also reminds me a bit of Eric Chenaux, who also has an album that I’ve played over and over this year:

is this because of the latest Disquiet Junto Project?
Today I described Low’s music as “music for the end credits of my life” to a friend. Very sad at her passing. Mimi was the core of Low to me…her calmness and gravity, the steady spacious anchor of her drumming, her harmony that gave the band its distinct vocal color, and the simple grace when she came to the front, singing straight from her heart. Low cannot exist without either her or Alan.
I only saw them perform a few times over the years. They are so powerful live. At one show I remember that in the quiet spaces in their songs, I could distinctly hear the bar cleaning glasses, because no one was speaking. Rather than the usual soup of crowd chatter, there was just silence, everyone rapt.
I’m very sad for Alan and their family, and hope they’re surrounded by love.

I didn’t know the latest Junto referenced Satie’s work. It’s just a happy coincidence.

Like many Italo prog albums, it ranges from the sublime to the absurd (with maybe slightly more of the former). Parts of it remind me of the second Gnidrolog album.

hey all,
does anyone happen to have information on a pita+alva Noto release from around 2006? the only information have on it is: the release year, that it was (probably) a collaboration between pita and Alva Noto, that there are 15 tracks, and the total runtime is around 59 minutes. it’s a great sounding ‘laptop album’ (whatever that means), and I’m hoping on referencing it in a research project I’m working on. @Prof_lofi thinks it might be a bootleg recording, but we’re not sure.
thanks :))

Recently I’ve been putting together a playlist of little songs that remind me of mechanical contraptions, like music boxes, you wind them up and away they go.
Here’s a few favourites:

Jane Weaver, Peter Philipson and Raz Ullah’s second album as Fenella is quite the analog odyssey. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

mystery solved, it was really just half of Pita’s second album, (Get Out), and another Alva Noto release (yet to be found, but not as important to me right now compared to the Pita haha).
