🔊 Great video by @Charbax of my audiovisual exhibition/concert Multimodality: The Audiovisual Avant-garde for @DigitalArtWeek with @taex_com on 24th April, featuring the premiere of my composition Quartet Derivation by the brilliant @house_apartment ! youtu.be/Xj2P410G47I?si…

@adaubam Let's collectively try to astral project into his mind.

@MassimoMagee Just imagining that possibility is enough.

mental note: call Thomas Pynchon for advice.

@notcelon Music for dead ports

listening to brian eno and watching charts crash

@_motherslug youtu.be/iZoR5SieizY?si…

Trying to write about Ascension but getting mad about novelty popcorn buckets instead. I gotta get off this fucking website.

@_John_Handel Or Dos Passos, before he went the other way

There's obviously Pynchon. I would suggest reading some 20th century American novels before tweeting stuff like this

@jamie247 A reading pub is a great thing

Seeing more people reading alone in a pub. Let’s normalise this please. So it’s not just me 😂 Reading rooms with booze; Ambient music, not too loud, the occasional social interaction (about books)… Maybe even an occasional thought provoking talk as interlude.

@melnickjeffrey1 "Jazz, like baseball, takes balls."

If a sentence begins “Jazz, like baseball…” then I cannot finish reading that sentence.

Coming up on 17th June at @hundredyearsgal : saxophone explorer Danny Kamins visits London for one night only as part of a European tour! We'll be playing solos and duos, including a sopranino saxophone duo, so don't miss it! Tickets at eventbrite.com/e/danny-kamins… Or cash otd

@BoylanRoger Magnificent aura

Samuel Beckett.

@exhaustdata @alicealeph0 It's amazing, and features some burning work from the brilliant Alfred 23 Harth

@alicealeph0 Is that just a full front-to-back performance of Out to Lunch? I’m checking it out asap regardless

what an impossible task lmfao. give me a year. i've decided i'm only listening to jazz until january 1st 2027

@Skepta "Degenerate" - they know very clearly what words they're using and what they mean. These need to be made less comfortable invoking what they're invoking.

Just like House, Garage & Jungle it’s here to stay but you will be dead and “gone” before Grime goes anywhere lol

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

@Arthemort Does it involve fine art and international intrigue?

Need a favour from someone based in Lisbon :)

@OmniFinn Are you a fucking idiot?

Why should anyone get paid for nothing?

@l_dunn1 Not to forget Manchesterial, of course

@Kulambq No Gaddis? No Pynchon?

Having 'Beloved' ranked as the second-greatest novel of all time is absurd. It's not even Toni Morrison's best novel, arguably not even her second-best. The list does include some excellent choices though, 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. Le Guin and 'Pedro Páramo' by Juan Rulfo, even if the latter is placed far too low. At the same time, the absence of 'Under the Volcano' by Malcolm Lowry is indefensible. Excluding Philip Roth completely is, perhaps, even more egregious.

Just realised I need to hear a @WilliamShatner sprechstimme version of the British national anthem

@sonnyrollins 'Our man in jazz'!

"I consider myself a 'stream of consciousness' player, or what was later to be known as a 'free jazz' player… So I had to learn how to play with the strictures of bebop and all these things… because I'm really just a natural player." –S.R., to the Academy of Achievement, 2006

@PaulDeetman You sound insufferable fyi

The library doesn't just hold knowledge, it holds the echoes of every mind that dared to explore, question, and imagine new realities. I'm actively looking for a literary agent to help my book earn its place on shelves like these.
