If you're not familiar, the inventor of the Sleng Teng rhythm was a Japanese woman working at Casio who programmed a beat track for the ages. She gave an interview a while back where she hinted that she copped it from a 70's english rock song. I'm saying it's Neat Neat Neat youtu.be/H_STPoI_eoM?...

The Witness Tree | Daniel Bachman Check out my new multimedia documentary project The Witness Tree. The album was created using biodata sonification of 16 remarkable trees from all around Virginia who have lived through significant moments in history or climate driven disasters.

The Witness Tree is also a full-length documentary film that you can check out at YouTube. This film features interviews from historians, scientists, artists, social workers, & activists, giving a lot more context to some of the locations I worked with than I could ever do through audio alone.

Just when I thought I’d have plenty of new Sarah Davachi music with her recent (incredible) Will of Tongues album to last me the rest of the year, she has announced a 6 cd set of commissions and long form pieces. So happy about this.

This reminds me of this bonkers story from the Marshall Project: www.themarshallproject.org/2018/04/19/f... ... which was also told on the podcast Crime Show: open.spotify.com/episode/0MfW... Anyway. It sort of shifted how I think about DNA evidence.

Framed for Murder by His Own DNA

We leave traces of our genetic material everywhere, even on things we’ve never touched. That got Lukis Anderson charged with a brutal crime he didn’t commit.

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009. In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples

“If you frequent record stores, tastemaking music websites or streaming services, or even coffee shops or yoga studios, chances are good that you’ve seen the term “spiritual jazz” pop up. These days, it feels more like pedestrian ad copy than a useful musical descriptor” @darkforcesswing.bsky.social

‘Spiritual Jazz’ Has Turned Cozy. John Coltrane Demanded More. (Gift Article)

The term has lately become synonymous with sonic serenity (and chic merch). But the saxophone great challenged listeners with radical honesty.

#ChannelOne Remembering Channel One following the recent demolition of the building at 29 Maxfield Avenue, that housed the mythical studio. A hit factory, it served as the ultimate engine for technical and rhythmic innovation across roots reggae, dub, and the birth of dancehall in the '70s & '80s.
