Constructed a major zone w/ @mjsage.bsky.social over the weekend, exploring imagined ecosystems & notions of cultural erasure. This was our inaugural collab & I hope we get to do it again real soon!
Some documentation of @heavywarmth.bsky.social and I duo set from last night. I’m reading from a digital poem I built in 2016 created by a randomized erasure function being performed on the EPA climate change text the 1st Trump admin wiped back when. felt right to bring this back out from the vault

Another deep loss...
I never got to see her live, but I've held a special place for Susan's recordings for a long time now. The intimate resonance defines her work is a wonder, as well as her mastery of a rather arcane instrument not typically used in improvised contexts.
Spend time w/ her world.

The 1st TGE of the 2025 airs tonight at 8pm ET on www.greatcircles.net.
This one is a sort of quiet meditation for a world [literally & figuratively] on fire, keying in on slowly elaborating sounds & dreamy shadow mosaics for the quiet hours.
Tune in & take care of each other.

A beautiful, honed in, and subtly joyful way to bring this absolutely essential label to a close. Pretty much a perfect ending.
