Kim Ann Foxman on MR. INTL

I can’t Tweet or Facebook enough about this. Kim Ann Foxman‘s solo project (in colaboration with Andy Butler) released on MR. INTL (Andy’s new label) is now available, the two tracks Creature and What You Need (plus remixes by Faze Action and James Curd) are below. This is pure joy (house) music. Andy was reported [...]

Holly Miranda at the Westminster Reference Library

I went to see Holly Miranda‘s little gig at the Westminster Reference Library not really knowing what to expect. Well, I was so totally bewitched that I didn’t want her to stop. It was an intimate concert, which made her music sound even more intense. Her voice was absolutely beautiful and her band was awesome [...]

A weekend of music

On Thursday, Mother Festival kicked off. Mother is a DIY project organised by Dafne Boggeri and Noga Inbar with the help of Nicole Emmenegger, which is dedicated to women’s contemporary music and art. It’s a 3-part festival, the first was held in Tel-Aviv and the second in London this weekend. On Thursday I particularly liked [...]

Paris trip

If only they could make all these papers open access it would even be better. “This research collection will provide primary resources for scholars who are [...]

Why I love MEN

MEN is what you would call a band but is also an art/performance collective that was started off by Johanna Fateman and JD Samson of Le Tigre. Johanna now contributes to the project (Emily Roysdon does too) and JD, Michael O’Neill and Ginger Brooks Takahashi form the core of the ‘performing’ band. They play dance [...]

Nico Muhly

I didn’t know anything about Nico Muhly until I went to see him conduct the Britten Sinfonia at the Roundhouse. I only went because the blurb on the Roundhouse’s programme sounded interesting and pieces from Philip Glass and Steve Reich were part of the evening. “Young firebrand New Yorker Nico Muhly is one of the [...]
