Just had a really good practice session, except the *one time* I tried to recreate something that happened in a previous session, it went sour. This is the way. Do not dishonor the gods of improvisation.

🚨 I'm giving away a free ticket to the Autechre show in Philadelphia (where I'm opening). I'll send out details to my mailing list soon: buttondown.com/williamfields

I really prefer fixing technical things over actually practicing and recording. It's much less scary.

A very interesting interview of Surgeon & Speedy J about the making of their all improvised duo record: toneglow.substack.com/p/tone-glow-...

I always like hearing @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com talking about #improvisation

Very much enjoying this. One of those books where I want to highlight every other sentence and send copies to all my artist friends.

That one is very emotional for me, listening back. I'm happy it is finding resonance with you too. ♥

I used to listen to albums but then I got into just streaming individual songs on Spotify and now I listen to music by drinking a special powder shake that contains all the benefits of music without giving up several minutes of high value ear capacity.
