Dear Reader,
Music is political, and music festivals are political stomping grounds. In this era of late stage capitalism the attempt to de-politicize and ramp up commercialization of festivals is rampant. That contradiction is another essay entirely…

*Prieš skaitant siūlau pasileisti šią dainą — Rhye — The Fall *
Šiandien prasideda ruduo, sezonas, kuris britų mokslininkų (ir ne) dažnai vadinamas “Fall”. Man visada atrodė labai gražu pavadinti metų laiką, kai krenta lapai, žodžiu, kuris reiškia kritimą…

It’s harder to keep up with new music than it used to be. In 2015, I made an app to add Pitchfork’s Best New Music to my Spotify account at the click of a button. I discovered a lot of music that way, but Pitchfork reviews a greater variety and number of…

You can write in-depth reviews, you can dig into cultural layers, sweep dust from the books on national crafts & artisanship, but you can not describe popular culture of Moldova better than this masterpiece by Sandu Ciorba, called “Cimpoi”. You might say that this is Romanian singer, but I…
The songs come from nowhere and I never really make them better, though I try hard not to mess them up. Most songwriters can probably relate to the following: you show demos of your work to family or friends and they often prefer the demo to the final version of the song once it’s…

If you’re like me, you stay awake at night wondering what music sounds like to other beings. I’m going to try to apply some basic music theory (which I know nothing about) and some basic signal theory (which I know a little bit about) to make some educated guesses.

Live album — why & how?
As you probably already know, we have just released a live recording of our recent performance, called Alitheia +/-. The title was inspired by Philip Pullman’s alethiometer or the “truth meter”. Translated from Greek, it means “the truth, more or less” — as in “this is what we sound like live, mostly”.

Jurgen Schmidhuber has a really profound interview about AI just a couple days ago; very in-depth and beautiful, for a full hour. For the first 5 minutes it’s monumentally boring because it’s the interviewer preening himself, but then it finally gets interactive (praise god) and it takes off…

While I’ve never got too much out of the social features of SoundCloud (likes, reposts, comments, follows), it is still the best service for sharing music. Spotify and Apple Music also allow embedding music, but you can’t be sure that the receiver will be able to listen, depending on subscription status, installed client software etc.
