What I'm listening to today: "Up Up", Li Yilei
Li Yilei is a really interesting electronic artist from Shanghai, currently operating out of London; this is from their first release "Unabled Form". Slowly building ambient/cinematic object that is either menacing like an abandoned factory or comforting like a cold winter day, depending on your inclinations. Yilei excels at this sort of data sculpture, a space made of noises that presents a narrative as you move through it
What I listened to today: 2024-05-22 Mastodon post, Autechre
Sean Booth of Æ has a Fediverse account and one day last year posted this gorgeous outtake from Oversteps (which I still consider Æ's most risk-taking album). It's kind of breathtaking, utterly unlike Æ, a labyrinth of classical spanish guitar, while also quintessentially Æ and very "yeah that, that's an Oversteps track". I think of this as a cousin to known(1) but I feel shadows of other songs of that era too
