Purty!
Thanks to Melinda for proving that everything is better with fire. BBox radio is in the final stretch of a Kickstarter to finance their web station, and its a really fun and positive astmopehre full of a diverse group of people who love music. Help them out RIGHT NOW.
A high school friend of mine sent me this clip of me doing an improv casio synth noise set with a certain simian friend. Thanks to David Brown for the footage and David Orr for the ape wrangling.
Jay Tholen’s increasingly eclectic body of work touches upon the chip music world in the same way a master chef touches upon a spice in a four course meal. The five tracks here in ‘Vainglory’, his first EP for Pause, dance effortlessly from melody to noise, from ecstatic joy to existential dread, in tessellations so subtle, so intricate, that at the end of its slight 20 minutes you will marvel at the distance you’ve sonically covered.
Copy written by yours truly. If you want me to wax at length about your musicality, drop me a line!
You can also read an abbreviated version of the copy and comment on this amazing release over at Pause.
In the meantime I am working on some show announcements, and recording. Coming soon!
