On Repeat

I try to at least quickly note some of my favorite listening — things I’ll later regret having not written about in more depth, so better to share here briefly than not at all.

▰ The second in the ongoing “diary” series from the French label Sonic-dialogue is out, and it’s a lovely set of dreamy demos by Aldrin, aka Oslo-based musician Øystein Dale Svendsen.

▰ Gorgeous muffled piano study from the Bell Mechanical.

▰ I’m an enormous fan of Nils Petter Molvær, the Norwegian trumpet player, and yet I don’t know if I’ve ever heard him play live solo for a full concert until I witnessed this fantastic hour-long video — of course, he’s only solo to the extent that you don’t grant performer status to his battery of inventive electronic processing.
