A few notes:
The Muhal Richard Abrams song is from an album of solo piano, Afrisong. Super beautiful and worth listening if you like “Hymn to the East.” My mom loves this album.
The Gianluigi Trovesi album is Italian circus jazz and worth listening to if you want to imagine you are a puppet.
Revisited the Blow (fka Get the Hell Out of the Way of the Volcano) after going on a Lomelda kick. Really like that kind of lo-fi K Records sound when it’s used in less straightforward ways. I had two early Blow records on a CD-R in college and I played it into the ground. The music holds up.
Wolfgang Tillmans is such an inspiring person to me, though his techno does not always reach the heights of his photography. This song moves outside of techno and is something closer to the experimental realm using just looped audio of Tillmans speaking. It references something the father of the shooter of the Pulse nightclub shooting said. I wrote about this in a piece on best lyrics at Pitchfork some years ago hoping someone would find it. Not sure that that happened. Trying again here.
The Fugazi song is from the soundtrack of their film Instrument. It’s an instrumental version of their song “Caustic Acrostic.” I watched that movie a few weeks ago when I was feeling a bit down and was looking for some inspiration shot straight into my veins. It worked!
