This is one of the last photos I took on Tuesday afternoon. I’ve been walking through Prospect Park almost daily with my son, the park has been exceptionally in season, plenty of fall colors, and really great weather.

Looking at a couple of internet signposts of mine, I realized that I neglected 2012 a bit. My bio blurb at Soundcloud is pretty out of date (just fixed that). I dropped off a lot of my presence on genre-based forums.
I was very fortunate to find a change in employment, a feather-in-cap freelance project, another slow evolution in my kit, and continued outlets for my music and video practice.
in no particular order, releases from 2012 that hung around:
john talabot fin (Permanent Vacation)
trouble books concatenating fields (Bark and Hiss)
KTL V (eMego)
muringa the unknown knowns (SOFA)
liars WIXIW (Mute)
wymond miles under the pale moon (Sacred Bones)
dunes noctulica (Post Present Medium)
michael pisaro/toshiya tsunoda crosshatches (Erstwhile)
jacob ullman fremde zeit addendum (Edition RZ)
jürg frey piano music (Irritable Hedgehog)
eliane radigue feedback works (Alga Marghen)
andy stott luxury problems (Modern Love)
mites passing resemblance (CFYR)
another blanket tip to Students Of Decay for three records that really should not have been missed this year; En’s Already Gone, Marielle Jakobsons Glass Canyon and Alex Cobb’s Passage To Morning are all statement albums in current electronic music.
Thanks to Michael Jantz at Avant Archive and Steven Ramsey at Constellation Tatsu for publishing my work this year, and to Olivia Block & Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago, and Ben Kudler at Hamphire College for hosting performances.
I’ve answered some questions for Tobias Fischer over at Tokafi, please enjoy a little reading though some of my thoughts on music and that kind of thing:
