Journal

I have a fascination for subcultures, specially those with a close-knit relationship with leftfield and challenging music, so music does take center stage here. Glad if it resonates with you in some way and you discover something new here, in which case you should explore more and support the artists.

Delmer Darion

"Electronic duo Delmer Darion have spent five years putting together their debut album, Morning Pageants. It's a hyper-literary account of the devil's death, detailed and engrossing. The concept was inspired by a line from Wallace Stevens's poem "Esthétique du Mal." Preferring to work from samples, which can be a nightmare to clear before a release, they instead recorded two albums' worth of material that they could then cut and mutate." The Fader
I just happen to hear a line from onetime MTV host Kurt Loder pondering the virtues of sampling in popular culture to underscore the action: “is it art or is it stealing?”. It was 1989.
