Tom Scottâs stuff is a great time sink. Iâm amazed he wasnât snapped up as a TV presenter years ago, but then once Attenborough goes I donât know if those sorts of programmes will ever get made for family viewing again. For something else heâs in, but more for giggles, seek out his role as question master in a made for web panel show called Citation Needed.

The NYT has a good article about it (potential paywall): Documentary Celebrates Women in Electronic Music - The New York Times
(Update: Bought the rental to watch over the weekend. Sneaked the first five minutes at lunch. It looks awesome, not just subject wise but quality filmmaking wise, too. Really looking forward to watching it. Also didnât realise that Laurie Anderson was narrating whole thing. Fab.)

Sheâs super nice. I met her a long long time ago. Got locked in her studio and every single cassette in there had âOh Supermanâ on it.

I second that emotion, stories about Electronica personalities are our life blood!

DDD 2021 - RONE & (LA) HORDE / BALLE NATIONAL DE MARSEILLE - ROOM WITH A VIEW
â(LA)HORDE continues to explore forms of protest and rebellion through dance. Room with a View is a blank page, a space devised as a naturalist white cube in which sounds, bodies and images can be inscribed to reflect on the shifting place of humanity. For Rone it provides the opportunity required for a new album, a unique performance in which the cries of his machines resonate, inviting us to break away and trace vanishing lines towards songs that exist far beyond mankind itself.â
Artistic concept: RONE & (LA)HORDE Music: Rone Direction and Choreography: (LA)HORDE Stage design: Julien Peissel Lighting design: Eric Wurtz Costume stylist: Salomé Pouloudenny Hair design: Charlie Lemindu
With the dancers of Ballet National de Marseille

Superb, too good! They transmit the same energy and visionary nature of an acting company like La Fura dels Baus. BTW, the modular/djing soundtrack performance is something great.
Yeah. I Came across their work last week in a streaming of Festival DDD. I can watch every show or streaming of this Festival because my girlfriend is working with them and she has free pass to all presentations. So far, this collective and their work was the highest and the most pertinent performance of this yearâs Festival. And I love the modular clubbing type soundscape. Donât quite know what heâs using but it works very well.
