I nominated this for the 2014 tracks poll, based on demos and live versions. It's finally out as a single on iTunes today. Slightly overproduced and they're playing down The Shining angle (a bit) in the cheapo video. Still, hurrah for Norwich's own Let's Eat Grandma!

I think this was released late last year (and apparently they've been around a while), but have just come across it and couldn't think of a better place to post...which is probably the point. This is a gloriously mechanised meltdown. It makes me feel like someone had said to me 'Would you like to listen to the music I've been working on?' and then they play this, and I'm trapped in the room forever.

new discovery:
Kurushimi "Kurushimi"
http://newprogreleases.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/kurushimi-kurushimi.html
This heavily improvised release pushes the boundaries of deconstructionist noise-jazz with departures into doom, grindcore, prog, dub and hip hop. The result is something like the unholy congress of Ornette Coleman, Morbid Angel, Bill Laswell, John Zorn and Bohren & Der Club Of Gore.
released February 16, 2016

This Kurushimi is pretty fantastic. Reminds me of Zu and Combat Astronomy, though there isn't exactly a big frame of reference for this sort of thing. Makes me think I should probably try to listen to Naked City again for the millionth time in the hope something sticks.

details of an academic conference related to time and music !
http://www.iaspm.org.uk/making-time-in-music-an-international-conference/
Making Time in Music: an international conferencePosted: February 25th, 2016 | Filed under: Calls for Papers | No Comments »12–13 September 2016Faculty of Music, University of Oxford
The capacity to be in time together lies at the heart of all music-making and is one of the most profound of human capabilities; being in time together is implicated in social bonding, altered states, and foundational pleasures associated with music. The ways in which we play in time together, also mark out difference—between genres and between instruments (and instrumentalists), between studio and live performance, between the virtuoso and the beginner.
Two assertions about the temporal in music are the starting point for our call for papers: David Epstein’s comment in his seminal book, Shaping Time, that time is ‘the critical element in performance’, and Lefebvre’s lament that rhythm has been music’s neglected component. These comments underscore the aim of this conference, which is to bring time and timing to the fore in our thinking about musical experience, and in particular, its production.
The conference committee encourages submissions from scholars representing diverse disciplines whose interests lie in time, timing and timekeeping, and their construction by musicians. We welcome papers that address the subject from the following broad perspectives: the psychological/cognitive foundations of this human achievement, time and timing as part of specific cultural praxis, critical approaches to time and technology, the aesthetics of timing, and musical time’s relationship to social being.
The following list of questions indicates some broad concerns of the conference but is suggestive rather than prescriptive.
How is the time of music implicated in social being and sociability? In what ways does the social penetrate the temporality of music?
Can we speak of cultures of time in music? How does the relatively tacit feel for time amongst musicians connect with the discursive?
What is the relationship between the relatively automatic capacity to be in time together and timekeeping as intentional and expressive?
In what ways have technologies changed our relationship to time in music? Is temporality changed through developments in recording and digital technologies?
What are the politics of musical time?
What methods are available to us to address questions of temporality, music, the social and the psychological?
How do we teach and learn about time in music?

I was plinking around on Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's website last night only to find that she'll be in Austin at the Levitation festival at the end of April along with lots of other great acts. I'm generally a shut-in, but I'm probably going to find myself at a music festival for the first time in about a decade.

yep me too which is why I did a double take but it turns out to be by an apparently fairly well known Norwegian illustrator called Theodor Kittelsen who did a lot of fairy tale and fantasy stuff. There's one other piece he did titled Skogtroll which is super familiar to me but I just can't place why I know it.

Laniakea is the new duo project of Massimo Pupillo (Zu) and Daniel O’Sullivan (Grumbling Fur, Ulver, Guapo) – not to be confused with the Progressive Trance group of the same name.Pupillo and O’Sullivan met when Guapo and Zu played shows together, but this album is elegiac and expansive (“four galactic heart songs”, in O’Sullivan’s own words); in keeping with Grumbling Fur, but nothing like Guapo’s heavy progressive rock, much less Zu’s hardcore/Jazz facemash or the aggressive free jazz Pupillo plays alongside Peter Brötzmann in Hairy Bones.A Pot of Powdered Nettles (House of Mythology) is devoted to the memory of the late Coil affiliate/artist Ian Johnstone, in whose home O’Sullivan worked on albums by Ulver, Æthenor, Mothlite and Grumbling Fur. A Pot of Powdered Nettles was recorded there too, soon after the birth of O’Sullivan’s son, Ari, and then the death, in the spring of 2015, of Johnstone, Ari’s godfather. The album seems suitably infused with paradoxical emotions, and touched, somehow, by Johnstone’s benevolent magick.
