Synth genius Wendy Carlos studied physics & music at Brown & Columbia. She helped develop the 1st Moog synthesizer & her 1968 classical album Switched-On Bach went platinum. She brought #music & tech together & composed soundtracks for A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Tron & more.
Carlos was assigned male at birth & transitioned to female. Unfortunately, many journalists focus more on her gender than her accomplishments that changed music forever. http://www.wendycarlos.com

It’s not a Halloween costume as such, the front of this #DivideAndDissolve shirt. But I like to think the sentiment spooks the people who deserve to be scared by the idea.

Heard that Péter Éri, longtime member of Muzsikás Folk Ensemble, passed away (1953-2023). For anyone interested in #Hungarian #FolkMusic and the #Táncház scene this group has been one of the most important forces for decades which influenced countless younger ensembles to learn and play folk music from #Transylvania and other regions.

Pedestrians, it should be our right to be distracted. It should be our right to walk and listen to music / look at the sky / cute dogs / snowflakes and not worry about getting killed. Nothing about that is dangerous except for CARS. Don't let them make you believe you are the problem.

1900 Reviews
We started publishing album reviews in late 2011, eventually incorporating a modest number of book and live performance reviews as well. Adding them all up, we hit 1900 this week (1901 to be exact). You can find a list here. These big-number milestones are arbitrary but a nice way of reminding ourselves what ant-like persistence can achieve over periods of time.

Edit to note that this is apparently 78% of microplastics *from specific sources, including textiles and personal care products*, which is only 11% of total microplastics.
So about 8% of total microplastics is directly from car tires.
RT @jme_pew Turns out “microplastics” isn’t descriptive enough. We should be panicking about *tire dust.*
“Seventy-eight percent of ocean microplastics are synthetic tire rubber, according to a report by the Pew Charitable Trust.”

AMN Reviews: Diego Caicedo – Seis Amorfismos (2023; Burning Ambulance Music)
Every so often a release comes along that purports to be "like nothing you've ever heard." After engaging in an appropriate amount of skepticism, we take a listen and - more frequently than not - the album falls short of this selling point. But not every time, and Diego Caicedo's latest proves to be one of these rare exceptions. Caicedo is a guitarist and composer who wrote all of the music on…
