In service of the "sonorous new year" I've been wishing others, I'm cooking up a daily listening homage / adventure / practice for 2025, and will be posting about it here. I can promise amazement, bemusement, occasional confusion, and pure sonic delight. More info and daily links start January 1 ✨

Today at 3p ET / 8p GMT + 1 on @resonancefm.bsky.social -- Last month four strangers, blindfolded, recorded an hour-long, unguided convo at the XMTR Fest in St. Leonards on Sea, UK. I was one of those four, and can not stop thinking about the experience. Soon on the RADIO🎢

Beautifully-crafted narrative anthology podcasts have arrived! Again.

What a joy to have a few favorites back in my ears, after long, quiet stretches. Does it all mean something important for the industry? Hope so.
