The Sunday Evening Round-Up on Soundcloud

For this evening’s round-up I’ve cast a larger net, and so have one track, one set, and one mixtape to offer. To start with the mixtape, “1n+rødµk+1øn +ø §Y§+(3)m§ øf §øµnd§”: it’s the at times

Another Sunday Evening Wrap-Up on Soundcloud: Paris, Milan, and New York

Even though I’m on the road at the moment and absorbed by a few other matters, music is still very much on my mind; and so on this Sunday evening, it seems right to share some tracks to

A Sunday Evening Wrap-Up on Soundcloud

In Homage to Depeche Mode’s “Strangelove”: A Playlist

KuuMA (空マ 空夢)

Another of this young year’s releases is what is in effect an LP uploaded on the Soundcloud page of a composer (presumably it’s a single individual) residing in Nagaski who appears to move
