Enfants, the newest 12” from Ricardo Villalobos, reduces a fragment of Christian Vander’s zeuhl chants as voiced by children and played by teens into an extremely pure B-side mantra. More from Villalobos on reverb and culture.

Similar repetition with micro-variations to produce complex results: a lesson from Spirograph. Looking for the missing piece? Right here, though micro-house may have yielded different results.

Mapping the human ‘diseasome’ and botanical otology. Four questions for field recording artist Kiyoshi Mizutani, whose Scenery of the Border: Environment and Folklore of the Tanzawa Mountains double compact disc is worth taking the time to track down.

The graphics language/library/toolkit/bit paintbrush Processing has been reborn in Javascript, which could lead to very interesting experiments within your (newer) browser.

The experience of listening to a favorite album resequenced: The story of Neil Young’s original Tonight’s the Night acetate. Different tracklist, containing material that would surface on On the Beach and Decade, along with the unreleased “Bad Fog of Loneliness”. Have your audio memories rewired here.

The fascinating real/imagined visual language of black budgets. Mixing fiction with fact with parody based on speculation, eventually arriving at something so unique that an internal affairs investigation and coffee table book must be just around the corner. More beautiful layered insignias here.

Baseball season started just the other day and was greeted with Stealing Signs: Dead Ball-Era Baseball, a collection of paintings by Mark Penxa. A nostalgic collection, filled with statistics and a memory of supposed better days. Less biting and more melancholy than Pettibon’s ballplayers. More figures-as-art and statistics-as-canvas by Louise Despont, here and here. Some notation as art as notation by Penderecki.

More aesthetically pleasing data in the form of network graphs on GitHub. Making source control social, easy to grok, and colorful.
