Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.

I only heard about this album in an email from Nonesuch records. So I pre-ordered it almost immediately. I’ve no idea of what to expect from it, except of course that it will be interesting and beautiful and thought provoking.

So I’m looking forward to it a lot, and may, as a result, go over some of Laurie Anderson’s previous works in advance of hearing it.

And it’s been a bit of a generative day over at PalmSounds

Today has been a bit of a day for my friends over at Intermorphic. Today marks 25 years that they’ve been in generative music, and that’s a pretty amazing achievement in my book. So I’ve been remembering some of the high points from my perspective over at PalmSounds today. I thought it was something that should be marked.

Waiting for the Patchblocks MIDI block

Just been taking a look at the Patchblocks MIDI block on their new site. It’s cheaper than I expected, although apparently when the final version becomes available it’ll be a bit more than the current £15. Even at a bit more than that I might pick one up. I think it’ll make my existing Patchblocks a lot more useful to me.

Hopefully it won’t be too long to wait though.

nil by mouth finally released properly

Which is great. I think I need to hear it again and reacquaint myself with it. I hope it does well for Blancmange, and I really hope that they bring some new music out in 2016. I’ve really enjoyed the new stuff and how they’ve revisited their original material too.

Anyway, let’s add it to a playlist on Spotify then.
