What Are You Listening to? 2023

I'd buy that for a dollar x 3!

On a related note since she's arguably one of the great next-gen composer/improvisors in the Berne chromatic unswung straight-8s/16s NYC abstract jazz lineage, I enjoyed listening to and watching this recent interview w/ saxophonist/flautist Anna Webber by Slovenian jazz guitarist Samo Salamon (I still need to hear her new album Shimmer Wince on Intakt all the way through, though):

(Also xp to Brimstead, holy cow those Cynic demos sound incredible IMO--have been way more into Death than Cynic, and on first flip-through that thrashier vocal approach really helps me more fully get on board with the Focus songs)

RIYL red krayola, dog faced hermans, us maple, 5UUs, KUU!, swell maps, although this is so very much its own thing. aloof minimalist and fun

gaah is there any way to hear this apart from ordering a secondhand copy from discogs?

herr poulsen is kind enough to have put the A side up on soundcloud here:

ah, thank you!
