"AARON DILLOWAY and ED SUNSPOT on the same bill, two absolute masters of the American electrical unconscious. Top-shelf freak shit from people who have spent decades figuring out which wires to cross to make the furniture start remembering things…

ICYMI I spoke to @its-nice-that.bsky.social about lots of things including a little bit about the work I did for Boards of Canada, plus Oneohtrix Point Never, Warp Records and a lot about how I approach art the way I do www.itsnicethat.com/features/rob...

Hollywood Babylon (BBC Arena) : Reenactments of passages from the controversial Kenneth Anger collection of tawdry gossip about the golden age of Hollywood.

Robert Beatty@edsunspot.bsky.social · 5mo agoI'd never seen this episode of Arena focusing on Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon before. It's a very strange time capsule with reenactments, Anger cruising Hollywood in a hearse, music from Laibach and (weirdest of all) narration from Alec Baldwin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaEB...

A few of the pieces I made for the booklet included in Razen's "Stained Glass Starling" album.
I've been credited a few places with doing the artwork for the Boards of Canada album- wanted to clarify I didn't do the album artwork or the VHS, just the trailer and the “Introit/Prophecy At 1420 MHz” video (so far...)
