Start of the week with this one particularly audacious work of musique concrète formed of national anthems and radio signals. Once saw this being performed live many moons ago. Karlheinz Stockhausen - Hymnen (1969, Deutsche Grammophon)

A black vinyl record resting on a black turntable with the tonearm positioned to the right. Behind the record player, an album cover is propped up, displaying the classic yellow Deutsche Grammophon banner at the top. The bold text on the cover reads "KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN" and "HYMNEN," with subtitles indicating it is for electronic and concrete sounds. The lower half of the cover features a white background with an abstract design of stretched, colorful, flag-like rectangular blocks arranged in horizontal lines.

Handwritten experimental musical score showing horizontal staff lines across the page with sparse, irregular ink marks, dots, and strokes suggesting unconventional or graphic musical notation rather than standard notes.

A quick and dirty ink sketch. #mastoart #InkDrawing

A black and white pen and ink drawing featuring a dark, twisted, leafless tree standing in a desolate landscape under heavy, pouring rain. The rain is depicted by dense, chaotic vertical scratches covering the background. The tree's trunk is thick and gnarled, branching out wildly. At the base of the tree, its roots extend into two transparent, glass-like domes resting on the ground. Inside each dome is a tiny, silhouetted cityscape, appearing isolated and protected from the harsh, surrounding environment. The overall mood of the sketch is dark, surreal, and gloomy.

Found via Kagi. parentheticalrecluse.com/blog/2026072...

An abstract expressionist painting dominated by a stark black and vibrant deep red color palette. The composition is formed by heavy, heavily textured brushstrokes that create a mix of swirling, chaotic curves and sharp, vertical shapes. A thick, dark pillar-like form runs down the center, surrounded by sweeping red loops and geometric angles. The paint appears to have been scraped or thickly layered, leaving highly visible bristle marks that give the piece a raw, moody, and energetic atmosphere.

Deep voids, and automatic mark-making. #MastoArt #ArtSky #MacabreArt #TraditionalArt

A stark black and white traditional ink drawing on a sketchbook page. The image features dense, chaotic line work forming a biological, fleshy mass. Embedded within the organic textures are several large, disembodied eyeballs and a rigid, geometric hexagon containing a pentagram. The composition contrasts intricate, flowing organic shapes with heavy, solid black voids and sharp occult symbolism.

No screens, an hour of freehand ink drawing. 🖋️ #ArtSky #MastoArt #Sketchbook #DarkSurrealism

A high-contrast black and white ink drawing on a sketchbook page. The image is an abstract, freehand composition that resembles mutating biological forms, muscle fibers, or strange deep-sea anatomy. It features heavy black voids anchored by dense, chaotic, and twisting parallel contour lines with thin tendrils whipping out at the edges.

Just finished On Minimalism: Documenting a Musical Movement (eds. O’Brien & Robin). Spotlighting post-minimalists like Rabinovitch, Zagny, and Southam was refreshing. The interviews with Pärt and Górecki are wonderfully thoughtful.

Tangled trunks and heavy ink. #ArtSky #MastoArt #DarkArt #InkStudy #Sketchbook

A stark black and white ink drawing on a sketchbook page, depicting a dense thicket of intertwined, leafless tree trunks. The forms are defined entirely by heavy, parallel contour lines that sweep and twist along the wood, creating a strong sense of three-dimensional volume, deep shadow, and a dark, surreal atmosphere.

A proto-metal kind of Friday. Rainbow - Rising (1976, Polydor)

A vinyl LP record with a bright red center label spinning on a black turntable, with the tonearm in place. Displayed behind the turntable is the album jacket for Rainbow’s 1976 rock album Rising, featuring fantasy artwork by Ken Kelly of a giant fist emerging from stormy seas to grab a vibrant rainbow.

Outertones — Material on @campradio.bsky.social Today. 6pm CEST. Kagel → Lachenmann → Partch → Fullman → Wada → Masaoka → Gasparyan. 57 minutes. Sound as physical substance.

A sheet of white, lined music manuscript paper filled with shorthand notation or abstract, line-and-dot ink marks written across ten five-line staves. The dark ink markings consist of small dots, short dashes, angled strokes, and subtle curves scattered relative to the staff lines, resembling a shorthand script or experimental graphic notation rather than standard musical notation.

Bestial black metal but with a weird spacey vibe. #blackmetal Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon (2020, Darkness Shall Rise Productions)

Didn't realise Pat Metheny was a fan of Foetus.

Album cover art for Pat Metheny's "Side-Eye," featuring Chris Fishman and Joe Dyson. The design features a bold, graphic, constructivist style divided into rectangular blocks using a high-contrast black, white, red, and yellow color palette. At the top, "PAT METHENY" is written in large, stylized stencil lettering. The middle section lists "CHRIS FISHMAN" and "JOE DYSON" below a red right-pointing arrow, with "SIDE-EYE" appearing on the right in angled, yellow and red stencil text. The bottom left features a stylized graphic of a black and white eye on a red background, while the bottom right displays three vertical red bars and a black plus sign ("III+"). Yellow and black diagonal caution stripes accent the top left and bottom right corners.

Graphic album cover featuring the word "FOETUS" in large white letters at the top, overlaid with yellow Japanese characters. A black parallelogram with "INC" in white and yellow sits on the right. The central illustration, set against a bold red background, features a crashing white wave, a large black ship's wheel or gear, a dangling chain with a hook, a red alien-like skull in the bottom left, and yellow flames surrounding a badge that reads "沈 " in the bottom right.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London.

A large, empty gallery space featuring an overhead art installation. Vast sheets of translucent white plastic are suspended from the ceiling by an intersecting network of thick ropes. The ropes gather and support the material, creating large, billowing, cloud-like forms that hang low into the room. The space has stark white walls, a dark hardwood floor, and a doorway on the left letting in natural light, while soft, diffused light filters down through the plastic canopy above.

An exercise in pure texture today. 🖋️ #MastoArt #ArtSky #InkDrawing #TextureStudy #DarkArt #TraditionalArt

A high-contrast black and white ink drawing on white paper, featuring the thick trunk and twisting branches of a leafless, gnarled tree. The bark is heavily textured using dense, sweeping black lines that wrap along the contours of the wood to create a sense of 3D volume and shadow. The tips of the branches curl outward into tight, surreal, and whimsical spirals.

Previous study exploring density in organic forms. ✒️ 🪾 #inkdrawing

A black ink line drawing on white sketchbook paper depicting a close-up of a tree. A thick vertical trunk on the right side extends large, heavy branches horizontally across the page to the left. The tree is illustrated using dense, layered, flowing black lines to create a rough bark texture, with a few sparse, thin twigs branching off into the empty white space

Zeuhl summer.

Album cover for Magma's '1.001° Centigrades'. The background is a vibrant, swirling mix of fiery reds, oranges, yellows, and purples, resembling molten lava or a nebula. At the top, the band name 'MAGMA' is written in large, purple, bubble-style lettering with a white outline, situated above the album title '1.001° CENTIGRADES' in stylized white text. In the lower half, a solid black, triangular shape resembling a mountain or volcano rises upward. A curving, bright rainbow path flows down the center of this black mountain, originating from a glowing, spiked, dark purple and gold emblem with claw-like shapes hovering at the peak.

Been wanting to dig into this for a while, despite already knowing the who's who of minimalism. On Minimalism: Documenting a Musical Movement (2023, University of California Press, Ed. Kerry O'Brien, William Robin)

A paperback book titled "ON MINIMALISM: DOCUMENTING A MUSICAL MOVEMENT" by Kerry O'Brien and William Robin rests on a textured wooden table. The cover features a black-and-white photograph of a performance on a herringbone-patterned floor. In the upper portion, dancers in light, flowing garments are captured in motion with their arms extended. In the lower foreground, a group of musicians is gathered around a large marimba, actively playing it. The title text is superimposed over the image in large, thin, white sans-serif capital letters.
