Max Alper is best known for La Meme Young, his popular Instagram account turning niche experimental music jokes into dank memes. But a deep interest in music pedagogy is at the heart of everything Alper does, including his non-profit Sonic Arts For All!, an organization that puts music technology directly into the hands of K-12 and special needs students. We talk about the importance of creativity, memes as pedagogy, the limits of traditional music education, and how to democratize music technology.

SP* Episode 19: UNFOLLOW ME - with La Meme Young [podcast]

"you feel the thought of love again..."

We / I threw together a crunchy dark version of Washed Out's "Feel it All Around" for the rad 'Z Tapes' label. Hit record and made noises over one night. It's for a great cause too <3 Check them out — the tape came out a few months ago i believe.

Feel It All Around | Washed Out cover for "Z TAPES"

Whole New Thang

It Starts With Supermarkets...

Meal Deal

lots of real important good looking people with much more important places to be
on the back side of each of their hands hypnotic, fingernails cut sharp, is a map of the city
and a list denoting places to go and be seen just for the sake of being seen
along with conversational anecdotes and tidbits about the rising levels of plastic in the sea

but still don't do their recycling
it's a slightly further walk
despite the fact their custodial supervisor
has laid the route out in chalk

for two weeks in June
i lived on the moon
and jumped up and down
to provoke monsoons
in East Asia and elsewhere
as I don't like the people there
for being much different to me
despite the fact I've only met two or three

so I'll walk around in hand me downs whilst smug sarcastic thoughts abound that make me feel like JC of the hip kids cos my bottle's filled with purified liquid that comes from sustainable sources yet I force feed plasticity to the birds and the bees unknowingly sowing the seeds of generations after me having to sleep in the street cos there's no jobs left and no fish in the sea
