i’m hopelessly biased because this album is intimately wrapped up with the transitory period of my life in which i discovered it, but it was also in many ways my entry point to jazz and manages to be sonically unique while still remaining accessible

This came on while I was on the subway. The repetitive tones washed over me like waves and I found myself staring. I took in the space around me completely but also started to go deeper inward. A common thing people say about New York is that it can be a very lonely city. You’re surrounded by people and yet sometimes you feel so invisible. I enjoy my solitude, but this track—10 minutes long, ambient and totally unexpected—made me sit with that feeling and examine it without judgement. The very act of listening to such a unique and profound piece of music on headphones is lonely. By definition. It reminded me that music is not just a thing to enjoy but something that can move you and guide you deeper. You probably have to be in the mood. It came on for me at the right time. But if you have the patience and need a moment to yourself to think and more importantly, feel, this track is for you. See what comes up

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that listening to this album makes me feel grateful for my sense of hearing. This is some music music, like "send this out to space for the aliens to find" type music

I found this album the other day and it feels so sacred to me that I almost don’t want to share it with anyone, but……check it out…
Italian avant-garde ambient realness. Your ears need this!
singular! hidden gem! overlooked!
I have been pairing my listening with open windows so that the cicadas’ songs in Tennessee are in harmony and it is bringing me so much peace.

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!

it’s so bad that discourse about it being bad is kind of played out now but it bears repeating how fucking bad it is
