On Repeat: NIN Cover, De Vis & Co. by Marc Weidenbaum

Brief mentions each Sunday of my favorite listening from the week prior:▰ This is my favorite of some of the recent pieces that guitarist Simon Farintosh has posted, maybe because it feels especially close to the original in tone, like the pace of the source material and the size of the room in which it was captured. Farintosh is best known for his transcriptions for classical guitar of Aphex Twin’s music […]

Scratch Pad: Rain, Library, Siren by Marc Weidenbaum

I do this manually each Saturday, usually in the morning over coffee: collating most of the little comments I’ve made on social media (as well as related notes), which I think of as my public scratch pad, during the preceding week. These days that mostly means @[email protected] (on Mastodon). Sometimes the material pops up earlier or in expanded form. ▰ The siren of the emergency vehicle passing by sounds like a goose with its […]

Tape Loop by Marc Weidenbaum

I know a few people who have actually left social media behind, but a lot of the time people who argue for exiting social media mean one thing by it, while participating — sometimes quite heavily — on another: no Facebook, but plenty of Mastodon; no Twitter, but loads of Instagram; no TikTok, but knee deep in Reddit. It’s a bit like people who mention with some frequency how there’s […]

Three Junto Updates by Marc Weidenbaum

Email Announcements: This Tinyletter webapp is become less usable as we get gain members. We’re nearing 2,000 subscribers. I will likely switch to Substack or to another (free) service at some point this year. Suggestions appreciated. No matter what service I end up using, subscription to this announcement list will, absolutely, always be free. (The main issue with Tinyletter is I now can’t send more than five emails a month […]

REV / FWD by Marc Weidenbaum

A friend passed this old Sony cassette player/recorder to me. It’s in perfect shape, and it has some nice extras, like double speed, variable speed, and reverse. It’ll be fun with some tape loops. (For those playing along at home, it’s the Sony TCM-500DV.)Disquiet

Junto Profile: Jason Richardson, aka Bassling by Marc Weidenbaum

This Junto Profile is part of a new series of short Q&As that provide some background on various individuals who participate regularly in the online Disquiet Junto music community. What’s Your Name? Jason Richardson, releasing music as Bassling since 2003 or so. I arrived at that name after misreading “hassling” and thinking it summed up my musical interests. Where Are You Located? Leeton, New South Wales, Australia, since 2009. It’s […]

On Repeat: Ackerley, Eno, Lage/Frisell by Marc Weidenbaum

Brief mentions each Sunday of my favorite listening from the week prior: ▰ Technically I’m in San Francisco, but otherwise I’ve spent much of the past week lost in the deep guitar drones of Jessica Ackerley’s late 2022 album Wave: Volume I. https://jessicaackerley.bandcamp.com/album/wave-volume-i ▰ Enjoying “A Thought,” which is the vocal-free (or “voiceless”) edit of “Who Gives a Thought,” off Brian Eno’s 2022 album Foreverandevernomore. Hip-hop and r&b singles do this all […]
