Julian Lage has such a great technical ability on the guitar without ever sounding cold or “for guitar nerds only”. I love his works since his first solo album many years ago.

Couldn’t agree more. My first encounter with his music was on the New Gary Burton Quartet’s 2011 album Common Ground. Lots of great stuff there, if you haven’t heard it. I’m preparing a longer playlist to share with this group that I’ll be able to share one of these days…

“Common Ground” is a great album with a thrilling line up. Great recording and mastering too.

Very kind of you, thank you.
The one above is a crazy one but it deserves more than one listen to my ears.
It reminds me of Julius Eastman in a contemporary way.
On April 13 it’s been four years Mika Vainio passed so untimely away.
If you don’t know about his music and you want to start a little journey listen to this powerful album from the Finnish wizard.
Enjoy.

Been listening to Evanescence’s new ‘The Bitter Truth’ album the past few days. A great amalgamation of alternative rock, metal, electronic, and modern pop with state of the art production. Really enjoying listening to this through my Chord stack and 1266 TC. It’s as though the TC has been tailor made to enjoy this kind of music or vice versa. Huge sound, intense energy, and lots of layering but still focused and punchy.

On the iPhone so pardon the lack of links. Fantastic binaural recording “Amazonia” by Jean-Michel Jarre. Listening on Qobuz with the Audeze LCDi3.
Electronica and natural studio tour de force. Released about a week ago and will accompany a photographic exhibition of the Amazon in Paris in May.
It is fascinating. If you do nothing else this weekend, mark it down for a serious listen.
Not boring.

Well now, currently listening and this is something else.
It’s haunting, kind of spooky at times.

Interesting. It’s not “organ music” it’s from organ, then played with.

I was a huge Radiohead fan, from 18ish until, well, I just quit listening to them, somewhere during the Elliott Smith and Ryan Adams years.
I’ve been going back to “In Rainbows”. There’s a lot more there than I remember.
Going back into a band I loved so much almost feels indulgent, like I’m letting myself off the hook of looking for something new.

I’ve only ever been able to find artefact-ridden low-bitrate mp3s sadly, but this is sublime:

If you’re into Sound Art and installations interaction with sounds this Bill Fontana is a milestone.
The files come with an extensive PDF booklet where you get all the infos about the crazy installation created by Fontana and the way it worked.
For further infos check Alan Licht’s “Sound Art”, a go to book for this argument.
