NEW FEELING
@newfeelingcoop.bsky.social
A cooperative of music journalists and community enthusiastically covering the sounds across so-called Canada. newfeeling.ca
New Feeling and Maisonneuve are partnering up for a Toronto reading event to mark two very special occasions. New Feeling is launching their anthology zine, which originally began as a member-only perk, but now is something they want to share with the world.
In his first piece for the co-op, DeForrest Brown Jr. applies the concept of 'schizophonia' (the separation of sound from its source) to streaming audio, examining how these same systems managing music consumption now fuel the dual-use “defense” economy. www.newfeeling.ca/zero-latency/
Zero Latency: On the Possibility of World Soundscapes beyond Spotifycore Sovereignty
DeForrest Brown, Jr. revisits R. Murray Schafer's theory of "schizophonia" to examine how streaming platforms like Spotify reshape listening and perception.

Reminder that I am hosting this reading group focused on International metal next week for @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social . Aggressive music is a passion of mine. This is especially true for such music made by people outside if the Anglo-American and British spheres. Sign up if you are interested

Monstrosa is creating the kind of music space they didn’t have growing up: one that’s queer, open about mental health, and built on mutual support. Adele Lukusa has the story: https://www.newfeeling.ca/embracing-your-inner-monster-with-monstrosa/
Embracing Your Inner Monster with Monstrosa
Behind the masks, Monstrosa are building a creative space where queerness, vulnerability, and chaos roar in harmony.
