Momus on Bowie. Good.

Sounds like quite a book; one for when I'm feeling resilient.

Justin's year. What a year. (Also: some days, I wish I saw things better.)

George Saunders on 'story'; watching this, and hearing him talk, I begin to see more about his writing emerges. It's still a mystery, but it feels like a tiny bit more of a known mystery.

Publisher and translator of locked room mysteries.

Sounds fascinating.

Robin talks through the previous rig – again, note how carefully the elements are chosen as a broad but limited palette.

A really beautiful live modular set from Scanner/Robin Rimbaud. I love this because it's melodic and musical, delivered from a small but carefully chosen 6U rig; it is the exact thing I like in ambient music, and the exact opposite of so much modular nonsense in the world. It's beautiful to study, too.

Cortex M4 + on-board audio and MIDI + midi host + lots of GPIO = iiinteresting low-cost audio/midi prototyping board.

Lasercut Eurorack case plans, ripe for modification. (Or, indeed, sticking a PSU in.)

"What would be your dream setup?

If Maple could include a chemistry software, it would be wonderful. But indeed, I am not sure that this would change a lot. What I need is intelligence, kindness and time." That.

This worked for me, so I'm bookmarking it not to lose it!

"A Thankful Village is a village where every soldier returned alive from World War 1. The term Thankful or Blessed Village was coined by Arthur Mee in his set of guidebooks, The King's England in the 1930s. Darren Hayman is visiting each of the 54 Thankful Villages and making a piece of music and a short film for every one focussing on village life. Some take the form of instrumentals inspired by location, some are interviews with village residents set to music, others are new songs with lyrics or found local traditional songs." Lovely project from Darren Hayman.
