Suzanne Ciani has been updating her YouTube channel in the last days. “Fish Music” seemed of special interest to me, I think it was not on streaming platforms, and it is a 1977 composition designed to be played on a loop in a giant aquarium in an American shopping center.

Have been listening to Trigg & Gusset quite a bit lately. A bit like A Cinematic Orchestra but maybe slightly darker - moody slow jazz. Nighttime music.

Some oldies that are good for the mood.
In between the reggae dub, screamo glam metal, the 80’s gangster rap, and bluegrass ballads, it’s often rando stuff like this

This from Natalia Beylis is excellent:
“It was a rainy day at the recycling centre in Leitrim. There, amongst the tangle of discarded kettles and broken down toasters, I first laid eyes on her: a CRB Elettronica Ancona - Model: Diamond 708 E Electric Keyboard. She waited, resolved to her fate of slowly oxidizing in the drizzle before being crumpled into the back of a lorry heading for the landfill. Or maybe, she waited, knowing I would come. I smuggled her into the back of my van and brought her home. For years, she sat untouched in the corner of my studio. Until one day when I finally plugged her in and she came alive with an unpredictable rattle. I took her apart and inside I found three broken purple crayons broken into nine pieces. With the crayons excavated, she sounded perfect. To me anyway.”

Sorry for the FB link, I hate this but Rinemax is hard to find.
Had a blast on Dec. 29th to her performance, so wild and distorted yet precise and powerful.
The vid is s lacking an essential dimension, the verticality of the sounds from head-level PA to infrabass in the legs. It had such a groove.
