Still thinking about whales as kindred symbolic complexes to large musical instruments. Keyboard amps resonate with that I think—one person afterward said it was like the mics were harpoons.

One week after deleting twitter I'm appreciating how much better the listening experience is here—yes I'm listening to everyone's bandcamp recommendations and loving them. Enjoying this glissando workout a lot lately and thinking about Dominic Coles' provocative writeup https://nadarecs.bandcamp.com/album/free-thinker-2

I really like this piece. It's a nice counterweight to so many popular music studies which don't consider music production (or listening to production choices beyond surface-level timbre stuff) as a worthy cultural text

I probably will not post regularly, but I write a newsletter every three months with some kind of analysis/reflection on musical or aesthetic concerns. Previous topics have included:

— the parallel symbolic complexes of pianos and whales
— Marx's interpretation of Western Australia's colonisation
— notes on 'speculative dance music' and unusual DAW technique
— music at the end of the world in the film 'Aniara' and the game 'Disco Elysium'

Subscribing is appreciated!

#introduction Hey everyone. I make music in many contexts but mostly grounded in experimental, electronic, and studio-based practice. I also teach music and occasionally write about critical perspectives on music's means of production. Some recent-ish writing includes this piece on DAWs, the redistribution of music labour and the atomisation of music culture: https://disclaimer.org.au/contents/where-and-how-to-gather/the-hegemony-of-the-daw , and this piece on financialisation in the plug-in industry: https://bellonamag.com/plug-in-capitalism

Thanks @SDF for having me!
