New from Positionen issue 147: Ed McKeon's essay 'Curating Contemporaneity' asks what we really mean when we call music 'contemporary' — and how 'the curatorial' can reinscribe some of that word's lost meaning. Read it here: www.positionen.berlin/post/curatin...

What could £10 do to promote a gig ten years ago—and what does it take now? Ahead of @840series.bsky.social's Saturday concert with the NLCC, I spoke to Alex Nikiporenko about 840's history and how the promotion game has changed.

The Return of 840: A Conversation with Alex Nikiporenko
In the early 2010s, the coolest thing a music graduate with an interest in all things experimental could do was to set up a small, independent concert series.

Happy 100, Morton Feldman! Little music reaches my soul as deeply as yours: austere, devoted, flickering endlessly on the horizon, like ever-elusive hope itself without which one is doomed.
