If you've ever wondered about the mystery behind Suss Müsik, wonder no more. Lovely conversation with the great folks at @phlmake about DIY instruments and the joys of building weird things. philly.makerfaire.com/2021/0…

I wrote a review of Robert Fripp's new book, the 561-page The Guitar Circle, for the latest issue of The Wire (the one with Tyshawn Sorey on the cover). Full text is in the print and (paywall) online edition.

"Who's the suspicious character / Strapped with the sounds profound?" I wrote about Gang Starr's superb Moment of Truth (1998) for Pitchfork's "The 150 Best of Albums of the 1990s" list. pitchfork.com/features/lists…

Oh, cool. Pitchfork's "The 250 Best Songs of the 1990s" came out, and my piece on Acen's “Trip II the Moon (Pt. 1 and 2)” is in there, at 198: pitchfork.com/features/lists…

Thank you @disquiet as always for your kind words and interest in Suss Müsik's activities. (Also, love the phrase "Complex Cumulus" -- need to steal that for a future title). disquiet.com/2022/08/26/comp…

Eight short electro-acoustic compositions for handmade sound-making devices, fake strings, piano, percussion, barely detectable vocals, and (in one track) a penny-whistle. sussmusik.bandcamp.com/album…

Suss Müsik recorded a five-song EP inspired by Nick Bostrom's theory of substrate-independent simulation. Heady stuff. Might release it "officially" at some point. sussmusik.com/the-simulation…
Another example of a DIY contact mic (using a reconstituted heat sink) run through a Wingie 2 (@MengQiMusic) and a @meris_us Hedra. youtu.be/10ALJFJdZFY
Suss Müsik's hands playing a customized MIDI device, featuring a reconstituted heat sink from an old Dell computer operating as a contact microphone. Not visible is the Meng Qi Wingie 2. youtu.be/hW6udiqmb5A
“Boil it down” and “flesh it out” are two metaphors that should not accompany one another.
A bird met its untimely demise on Suss Müsik's porch. The crime scene was transformed into a graphic score, then this happened: soundcloud.com/suss-musik/ta… #DisquietJunto

For @Pitchfork’s Sunday Review, I wrote about Scott Walker’s Tilt: an audacious, sadistically cryptic psychosexual opus. I want to persuade you that—as well as all that—it’s an album you can love pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

Apparently, "white noise podcasts" are a thing. Suss Müsik released an 80-minute drone during the height of the pandemic. open.spotify.com/track/2eqH0…
ICYMI Occasional Suss Müsik collaborator @gladneyofficial released an amazing single. Really, it's an honor to work with such a talent. Would love to work with him again. youtu.be/7f-3ZtUPQ6Q
