Made a mix to accompany the "Quest for Details" release. Canadian country, Polish electroacoustic, a field recording of me sitting in a cabin, dearly departed Sakamoto, singer-songwriters, some questionably annoying 90s techno, and others are littered throughout this mix. Think it has a melancholic but hopeful vibe. Hopefully there’s room for more content.

Statistically, like most content (or our output), this will be mostly clicked through and skipped - with a small percentage of people who actually listen to it. It will reach more people than if I made a mix tape that I sent to a few friends but arguably will not be listened to as much. Something like 50% of music on Spotify is skipped before it ends (a lot of which happens in the first few seconds), a number that’s estimated to be much higher for independent artists, and certainly (maybe understandably) even higher for experimental and niche sound. Moving forward, it’s important to criticize what the corporate centralization of everything we make and absorb is doing to culture at large. People are aware but want to avoid the cognitive dissonance of hypocrisy. Under American individualism, we’re expected to align our thoughts and practices. In a world in which you don’t have much control, it’s okay to be a hypocrite. It’s more productive to talk shit about things being horrible than to fall for hypocrisy bait and disengage.

In the 80s, a lot of 30/40 somethings creative / “open-minded” people sat back as Reaganomics paved the way for this demonic stage of tech Neo-liberalism we’re entering. I think it’s probably a good time in history to acknowledge what the lack of regulation and data centralization is doing to our cognition and the way we interface with information and content. It’s objectively not offering a better experience and is subverting the way in which we are intentional. I will be taking all A_A off the big streaming services and am reconsidering using Bandcamp. If you know me, you've heard me rant about BC, even before it was owned by a large video game corporation that is union busting. It was inevitably going to be sold because of its increasing intrinsic value. These issues aside, it's a well developed platform. The problem is the platform needing to exist itself. My annoying tirade now over with, I hope you enjoy the mix.

Andrea Pensado - Accepting the Path to Love (excerpt)

Gunther Valentine - Maine Redactions (excerpt)

"前の家に住む女性が、お風呂で時々歌を歌ってる。いつだったか忘れたんだけど、その人が大きな声でアメイジング・グレイスを歌っていたときがあって、それまでそんなにいい曲だって思ったことなかったんだけど、その時聞いたアメイジング・グレイスは一生忘れられないくらい素敵な歌でした。
小学生のとき、詩を考える授業で、いじめられっ子の女の子が「レモンは酸っぱい。けど、おいしい」って詩を発表して、いじめっ子たちにその詩をめちゃくちゃいじられて、ものまねするのがちょっと流行った。おれもちょっとものまねしたりしちゃったんだけど、いまでもそれ以上に良い詩はないと思ってる。" -kazuma sasajima (@niceshopsu)

Google translate:
"A woman who lives in the previous house sings sometimes in the bath sometimes I forgot when it was when I was singing that amazing grace with a loud voice that I thought it was a good song so far I had never done that before, Amazing Grace I heard at that time was a wonderful song that I could never forget.
When I am in elementary school, in a class thinking about poetry, a bullying baby girl announces a poem "Lemon is sour but tasty", teases the bully to mess up that poem and imitates it It was a bit fashionable. I also imitated a bit, but I do not think there is any better poetry any more. "-kazuma sasajima (@ niceshopsu)

Christian Mirande -  We're Waiting Now

I have never done a mix before so I asked one of my best friends to help me. Greg and I grew up next to each other, and have been listening to music together for a long time. This mix representative of a arc of what we might put on for one another, jumping from one thing to another, sometimes settling into one thing for a while. After an hour this one does gentile dip into Australian and New Zealand underground abstract music. You have been spared a cut of Van Halen on stage mishaps among other things.
