Balakirev's transcription for solo piano of the slow movement of Chopin's 1st Piano Concerto. Chopin wrote it when he was still a teenager. Precocious bastard.

Chopin (arr. Balakirev) Piano Concerto No. 1 In E Minor, Op. 11  Romanza

The Scherzo from Beethoven's E flat sonata. Cheeky little thing :)

Beethoven Piano Sonata in E flat, Scherzo

My take on Chopin's saddest little prelude.  Two and a half minutes of ache.


Chopin Prelude No. 4 In E Minor, Op. 28

this is a first go at using monome_sum with a variable brightness 128. thought i'd record the results and share the amazing possibilities of this soon to be released software. i'm basically able to switch between simplified versions of flin, polygome, mlr, corners, and step. sounds are created using only the built in synthesizer and provided samples. my mind is a little blown. 

perhaps something more refined in the coming days, but for now...

Desk recording of the most silent piece of music during Kaltern Pop 2015. In the church during the show by Stargaze. Played by Aart Strootman - guitar and Ausiàs Garrigós Morant - clarinet.

Variations_on a theme by Radiohead (excerpt)

Marionette amassed interest straight from the off. The record label, which was founded in 2013, hasn't conformed to traditional aesthetics or functionality of sound. Each release has been eclectic, forward thinking and conceptual in both style and formation. To date the label has released music by Deer, Laurine Frost, Maxim Wolzyn and most recently by Kilchhofer. The latter of which is the next to contribute to our slightly more abstract Wednesday mix series. 

There is little back story or information surrounding the man. His website features a minimalist assortment of drawings, sounds and obscurities. His contribution to our mix series sees him arrange a series of mystical soundscapes, stuttering percussion and disorientated earthly audio from beyond expectations.

Over the past few years, bee populations have been dying at a rate
the U.S. government says is economically unsustainable.

Honey bees pollinate plants that produce about a quarter of the food consumed by Americans, including apples, almonds watermelons and beans, according to government reports.

Scientsts, consumer groups and bee keepers say the devastating rate
of bee deaths is due to at least in part to the growing use of pesticides
sold by agrichemical companies to boost yields of staple crops such as corn.

This piece emphasizes that “with the damning evidence mounting, pesticide companies can no longer spin their way out of this crisis”, as said Michele Simon, public health lawyer.
