It’s Bandcamp Friday! We put together some recommendations, including other music from our label @infrasonicpress, some other albums some of us play on, and some other music we’ve just like. (Also, our albums are available on Bandcamp, too, as well.)

Our dear friend Loss Pequeño Glazier recently published Transparent Mountain: Ecopoetry from the Great Smokies, "a magnum opus of eco-poetry, an ecstatic vision of a living, breathing earth" according to Kit Robinson of Quarantina. #poetry

…Therefore, the process of elimination leads us to assume that the other cat with not quite as much white on his nose is Guy.

Their favorite hobbies include traveling, modeling, and driving, if you can believe it. I have to hide my car keys at night now.

It's another Pet aPPreciation Pthursday! (Or is it "Caturday on Thursday"?)

This week, violinist Evan Courtin introduces us to Buddy and Guy:

[The Evolution of the Arm @Evolution_Arm]

You can tell which is which by looking closely at their noses. If they’re both sniffing something, then yep, those are my cats. But, in the process of their sniffing, if you happen to notice a little more white on one’s nose than the other, then you’ve successfully ID’d Buddy…

We remain humbled by the positive responses to our new EP, and especially the responses from artists we admire. Multi-instrumentalist and composer Ravi Padmanabha shared with us these thoughts:

[The Evolution of the Arm @Evolution_Arm]

"spacious & moving music that engages the listener from start to finish [with] jaw popping lustful bliss […] Each musician allows space for motif development & group interplay to the highest level, [and] throughout each piece a common thread of exploration & trust is evident."

Scores have been offered by the community of listeners who have been touched by the practice of #DeepListening. In addition to marking & celebrating Oliveros’ 90th birthday, the project is an attempt to explore what listening can make possible in the context of our current moment

[infrasonicpress @infrasonicpress]

A Year of Deep Listening is a 365-day celebration of the legacy of #PaulineOliveros, and what would have been her 90th birthday. @CenterforDL is publishing one text score per day—online and across social media platforms—beginning on Oliveros’ 90th birthday: May 30, 2022.

Iggy & Lula were present (outside Megan's office door) for all the recording sessions in our latest EP Telepathic Music Vol. 1. We can't tell if they're into the music, but we think they'd support you checking it out on Bandcamp! 5/5 https://t.co/Ho5iJ9YOZe

This week in The Evolution of the Arm pet spotlights: oboist Megan’s cats Ignatz (Iggy) and Lula! They’re nine years old, sisters, sometimes best friends, sometimes bitter enemies, mostly tolerant roommates. 1/5

[The Evolution of the Arm @Evolution_Arm]

…and (3) Lula’s musical talent in the form of her expressive snores. 4/5
