🚨New on Phonautograph🚨

The follow-up to the first Four Way Hips album. This one's not recorded to a four-track, though.

Electronic with some Brazilian twists and big beats. I think it's a fun record.

If you like Cluster's Zuckerzeit this may be up your alley:

Working on ghost notes. It's been so hard. I still suck pretty bad but I can feel I'm getting better which is the best.

Unreal.

Lol, I DID! Just confirmed it independently. I'll be on my way to Dublin in May!

Anyway, if anyone has hot tips on record stores and other stuff hit me up!

Aside from tofu puff noodle soup this is my other main lunch. Masoor dal with turmeric, homemade sambar masala and green chili. To that I add a tadka of ghee with mustard seeds, dried chilis, curry leaves, onion, garlic and ginger. Throw some lemon juice in at the end. Good stuff.

Wurmpth Furdber @purelava.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, it sucks!

Wurmpth Furdber @purelava.bsky.social · 1d

Four days, everything paid but I can't do it because it's during the school year and apart from holidays I have no days off.

Wurmpth Furdber @purelava.bsky.social · 1d

Nice!

Christ, I must have practised about eight hours today. Once you go down the transcribing rabbit hole it's hard to get out if there's nothing to pull you out.

is Spotify (and its distribution partners) retaliating against artists who boycott?

this video is about what happened after I removed my music from Spotify.

This is just nuts violin playing. The phrasing is so great, it's amazing.

I never get these things right. They're not as crispy as I would like. My technique is lacking. Still, they were fine.

Wurmpth Furdber @purelava.bsky.social · 2d

Look at the lineup on this! Hank Jones, Elvin Jones, Bob Brookmeyer, Milt Hinton, Paul Chambers. Heavy cats. Tom Dowd engineered. If you don't know this album go check it out.

@noragermain.bsky.social, you must be familiar with this Lookofsky album. I'd love to hear your opinion on it.

Harry (an orchestra player) and Hank Jones wrote the solos before-hand so Harry played written parts. What's incredible is how he nails the phrasing. You never hear a classical player on any instrument phrase that way. And the solos are incredible. This page has a copy of his Round Midnight solo.

Fortunately it's not a big deal!

Had some money kicking around my PayPal so I blew it on this Harry Lookofsky album which was half priced for liquidation. One of the great jazz violin records despite the fact that he doesn't improvise on it. An early feat of overdubbing in 1960. I also grabbed this Wagner Tiso album.

I was hanging out with my friend Christian last night and he gave me a copy of his Element Kuuda tape on @hothamsound.bsky.social. So happy to have this.
