Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma, by Claire Dederer
In the wake of #MeToo, this book grapples with how to reconcile the legacies of artists whose behavior was reprehensible, from Michael Jackson to Pablo #Picasso and beyond. Do geniuses get a free pass? Is female monstrosity different from male #monstrosity? How should we balance moral outrage with an appreciation for the work? As Dederer poses these uncomfortable questions, she admits her own complicity, too. nytimes.com/2023/03/10/books/n

Having a fun time compiling my (very very late) best-of list of #metal albums for 2021 (I know, I know) over the last few weeks.

The debut record, Animate//Isolate by Minneapolis' #Obsolete totally flew under my radar in '21 - a fantastic technical #death / #thrash album in the vein of #Atheist, #Martyr, #Coroner, #Vektor etc. & hints of oldschool DM melodies/song structure similar to #Hellwitch, #Monstrosity, & older era #Dismember, #Hypocrisy.

This web-audio interface addresses ways of listening to certain female-sounding voices that are perceived as inappropriate - because of the quality of their sound, their gender, the medium's distortions but also stereotypes and collective memories that they often awake. These are verbal expressions that have been associated with forms of 'monstrosity' since ancient times. You are welcome to contribute with your voices; to record yourselves, expressing your thoughts and choose a type of distortion to participate in forming new imaginaries around a technologically-mediated collective voice, which through its monstrosity can reveal other forms of speech.

The interface will be part of my performance 'Radio-active Monstrosities' under NL_CL #2: Flesh: instrumentinventors.org/event/.
