SOPHIE

thread of some of SOPHIE’S unreleased gems 💄

— SOPHIE UPDATES (@MSMSMSMUPDATES) January 31, 2021

here's a bunch of unreleased tracks & rarities

I had never really understood her music-- just felt like it wasn't my thing. Yesterday I listened to a bunch of her songs, and felt profound grief that I'd somehow missed something before, and that I wouldn't be able to enjoy more in the future. Then, last night, I had a lucid dream where I was a helper to a neuroatypical adult who was trying to communicate with their friend, another neuroatypical adult, through a Plexiglas screen, and the both of them were crying because they couldn't communicate properly, then 'Its Okay to Cry' started playing in the dream and I woke up sobbing.

Something in the air. Horrible news.

Truly horrible news. She was in my dreams last night too.

Those Vince Staples anecdotes were a help. Thanks for the heads up.

still can’t believe this. Rest Peacefully Sophie. 💔 🙏🏿 pic.twitter.com/OsYGdCKgkz

Some short thoughts.

Currently rolling through that Spotify playlist <3

Great thoughts Ned, and loved the quote you singled out, the desire "to make the brightest, most intense, engaging thing." It started me thinking who else was doing that and the most obvious answer (apart from AG Cook of course) was Yasutaka Nakata (Perfume, Capsule, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu etc.). Does anyone know if SOPHIE and Nakata interacted? I was thrilled when Autechre did the first ever SOPHIE remix.
Also apologies for my use of "her" to refer to the artist upthread, I learned from Philip Sherburne's brilliant p4k piece that SOPHIE disliked both gendered and nonbinary pronouns. https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/remembering-sophies-radical-futurism/

and had I not been such a lazy git, I would have found this almost first up

wow, that pic! i was living in Nagoya in 2010 and made to see Capsule play a live show in Osaka back then. so glad i did. i never imagined a SOPHIE - Capsule connection. and i wondered what the hell happened to Capsule... now i know.

thank u Ned for that writing. i'd never seen the video, it made me cry and that's ok :)))

/haxxZ ilx0rz serverz, replaces all lower-case renderings w/ {"SOPHIE"}, removes pronouns

Thank you.

All the subsequent/related posts are lovely to read.
