R.I.P. Γ‰liane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word β€œgenius” but she deserves it.

Farewell to French composer Γ‰liane Radigue (1932-2026) who taught us the radical power of slowness, of patience, and attention stretched to the threshold of perception. Her work will continue to resonateβ€”slowly, endlesslyβ€”like a tone that never quite fades.

There must be some strata of rock stars that, on balance, still would have rather been in the Epstein photos than not, even now.

It's tragic that a decent PM will be brought down by Mandelson's sleaze - but it's a matter of when, not if Polly Toynbee

When I paid my annual subscription for β€œForce-feeding the British public Peter Mandelson’s sleaze in ten easy steps,”, I did not expect that the British public would then be force-fed Mandelson’s sleaze. This is an outrage and a tragedy

Is there a simple small device that plugs into a smartphone that offers both an integrated single wireless lav mic AND an analog stereo input... and has some kind of mix capability before it hits the phones video audio input?

What's new in the DIY world of Music Thing's Workshop System - CDM Create Digital Music It's a Very Workshop System Jamuary. Music Thing's patchable music lab-in-a-lunchbox has proved that small-batch personal hardware can attract a select, dedicated community sharing great stuff with on...

Workshop workshops, ensembles, free and open cards doing all kinds of stuff (mungling! granular!), Workshop System in a browser, and a whole lot more.

@tomwhitwell.bsky.social was generous in summing up all the goodness from the world of his creation, and I cribbed his notes:

Robert Smith, flanked by Lee "Scratch" Perry and Tricky, each of whom is holding a water bottle on top of Smith's head, to form "horns". They are all grinning like idiots.

Reliable UK online store for second hand phones for teenagers anyone? Loads of places seem to have bad reviews of cheap battery replacements that turn bad after 3 months.

Right yeah, so you hear a randomness in the timing of the side chain release relative to the kick start I guess

That's really interesting, so I understand the concept of destructive interference etc. but what's the idea specifically about it being in phase at the END of the kick? is it in context of a sidechain compression between kick and sub?

Martha Kelly (@MarthaKelly3) onn twitter: "Under capitalism, it's normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich - not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane."
