Never could I imagine just how joyful and honoured, a bit stressed but mostly energised, I would feel to be guest editing Positionen 147 — a wonderful issue that is out now. Fasten your seatbelts. It's a chunky one!

It was a pleasure to interview Jürg Frey about the gobsmackingly beautiful 'Clarinet Quintet', out now on Another Timbre. Read the interview and get your hands on the album. London premiere on 29 May at Music We'd Like To Hear. https://t.co/urOuX7dEfp

Very chuffed that @Eurozine reached out to reprint my article 'The British School of Emotionalism and Metamodernism' on their website. It's now in English and free to read. Give it a try!

[Eurozine @Eurozine]

Both emotional and uncanny, sincere yet ironic – contemporary British-based composers are pioneering a new aesthetic: musical metamodernism. By @maratingeldeev via @PositionenMusik (link in thread)

Feeling both stimulated and relaxed after a magnificent few days in Bergen for the Borealis festival. It was a joy to be part of the delegates programme. A longer reflection will be out in the upcoming May issue of POSITIONEN—watch this space. Photo 2 by Miriam Levi.

What could £10 do to promote a gig ten years ago—and what does it take now? Ahead of 840's Saturday concert with the NLCC, I spoke to Alex Nikiporenko about 840's history and how the promotion game has changed.

Now available online. I've really enjoyed chatting with Maia, and I hope you enjoy reading what she's got to say! https://t.co/ynatLJ1TNT

I enjoyed my conversation with sound artist Maia Urstad immensely after discovering her work at the Darmstädter Ferienkurse earlier this year. German readers can find our conversation in POSITIONEN issue 145. English readers will have to wait a few months before it appears online

One of the most bizzare concerts I've ever attended :)

Happy 100, Morton Feldman! Little music reaches my soul as deeply as yours: austere, devoted, flickering endlessly on the horizon, like ever-elusive hope itself without which one is doomed.

[marat ingeldeev @maratingeldeev]

My modest contribution to Feldman's centenary is an interview I prepared with incredible GBSR duo and Taylor Maclennan about the equally incredible 'Trios' box set, hot off the press from Another Timbre. This hauntingly mesmerising music has utterly besotted me.

Fun times at my first-ever @hcmfuk 2025. My piece for @vanmusicmag is out now, with pretty mind-boggling insights from @mckenzie_gr and a few unvarnished concert takes. This one's for lovers of numbers and sceptics of the UK’s arts funding. https://t.co/j2NzSazoon

An essay from what I now call my prime metamodern phase — on Francesca Fargion’s music, its oscillations, naivety, Romanticism, parental relationships and the evanescent, banal everyday. Have a read! https://t.co/KyUu4DILEB

"Garland showed exactly what the UK new music scene could achieve if funding matched ambition." My review of @oliverleith's Garland is out via @bachtrack.

My Darmstadt 25 review out in @vanmusicmag. 'Situations' are audience agency, censorship, David Tudor, distracted listening, Hannes Seidl, healing sounds, hybrid formats, immediacy, instagrammable art, Maryanne Amacher, neoliberalism, spatial arrangements. https://t.co/pCqgFVHUoW

Marat Ingeldeev reports from Musik Installationen Nürnberg, where he eats a very good shawarma, gets pedalled around a lake in a hot pink flamingo pedalo by two retirees, and ponders nonlinearity — and much more at VAN Magazine
