New review. Carme López brings extended techniques to a surprisingly warm, emotional, boldly experimental album of bagpipe drone music. https://t.co/Bp0mxynp8T

Olivia Block's beautiful new album channels Krautrock and '70s prog but also feels like a clear development from her meticulous electroacoustic work. https://t.co/T9o4MNgHRb

New review. Choi Joonyong and Devin DiSanto confound narrative expectations while noisily dismantling a piano: https://t.co/0D0lIkcVGb

Not sure yet if I'm fully leaving here, but if you're heading to the other app you can find me @ sevenarts over there.

this clip is quite old, but anyone feeling surprised or shocked by today’s result clearly hasn't been paying attention. Obviously I'm biased, but my mate David had a clearer diagnosis of contemporary politics than anyone alive now.

Anne Gillis' latest solo album is an intentionally confusing trip through her entire 40 year career in sound art: https://t.co/gzq5UMDs94

@geoffwilt Yes this is really fun. Principe is so consistent, there’s very few duds in their catalog at all.

On Marc Baron & Mark Vernon's conceptually dense and playful tape works, one of the year's best albums: https://t.co/5uEjX4BxZt

Here's a new retrospective piece on Kevin Drumm's 1999 masterpiece Second: https://t.co/q99WOvdT76

My first new music writing in years at my rebooted music blog, covering James Rushford's thorny, unique LP Turzets from @BlankForms: https://t.co/pOATOw7qbC

[sevenarts.bsky.social @ed__howard]

I've been missing writing about music, so I'm restarting my dormant music blog Reddy Brown Objects for longform reviews of new and old avant-garde music. New pieces coming soon on James Rushford, Anne Gillis, Kevin Drumm, etc.

@corrupt_touch You know the right choice, come on.

[sevenarts.bsky.social @ed__howard]

@corrupt_touch Good luck ❤️

@brooklynvegan No presale for the Racket show?

[sevenarts.bsky.social @ed__howard]

@NewWombat Same town - this one from this morning might be even worse.

[sevenarts.bsky.social @ed__howard]

@lane_lane_lane I was a little more positive about the book as a whole than you but you provide a great summary of where it falls short. I was mainly impressed by it formally - the simple elegance of its fantasy/reality rhythms - but a bit underwhelmed by the rest.

@adamszym Hickman’s intro to the new X-Men status quo (a pair of intertwining miniseries) was as exciting as modern superhero comics get, and then everyone involved promptly squandered it all on boring filler, and Hickman left entirely to do Substack. Quite a sad reversal.

[sevenarts.bsky.social @ed__howard]

@adamszym Just read the first 2 books recently and loved them, was wondering if there would be more. I hope they find a new home quick, this kind of intensely satisfying pure genre thrill is in short supply in comics these days.

@IgnatzHaderach This sounds like SOLAR ASH, a sci-fi skating game with some light combat elements, very fun: https://t.co/llNSJiE7zA
