Most ridiculous concert story: I was a performer at an anarchist festival, doing a Morton-Feldman-inspired piece with metal-trio instrumentation. Just before going on, our promised 1/2-hour set was shortened to 15 minutes. At 12 minutes, we were asked to stop.

What’s your most ridiculous concert story? Mine is that I saw a Phish show with the drummer from Hanson.

Your read of the day. So much out there about how ICE is marauding its way through Minneapolis but very little about grass roots resistance. Here I speak to a teacher on the front lines and he breaks down the *numbers* of people involved in resisting ICE. Chills.

Requiescat Matthew Taylor, bass player in Bellini/Monotrope, former art director at Touch and Go Records, entrepreneur, devoted husband, and just a fuckin' mensch
I worked with Matthew at Touch & Go and he designed the kranky logo. This is tearing me up - he had a humor and sparkle in his eyes that was unforgettable.
Matthew was my cousin-in-law. He was such a light — so funny, kind, creative and curious. He is missed.

Tonight, Monday January 12, from 8-9:30 PM EST (UTC-5), I'll perform my 293rd #ambient #guitar #improv #livestream of this series. Tonight feels like the right time for some #pedalSteel.
It's Morton Feldman's 100th, so I'll try to avoid too-loud and too-fast (for Feldman).

This week's composition is an uptempo three- #guitar thing using the $60 Univox hollowbody...and no reverb. Things aren't completely dry, though--there's the space of the body itself, and it's in 6/4. weeklybeats.com/onezero/musi...

Like a lot of my recent output, this uses three tracks of the same guitar--in this case (unlike last week), it's an old Univox Coily hollowbody tuned in fifths and fourths, with a rogue second on top....
