A few reflections and a personal / private homage to Tom Johnson (1939-2024), in the form of a 'counting' score in the spirit of some of his 'counting' works, based on the generation of numbers that count themselves, like 3122331415: that number has 3 occurrences of the digit 1, 2 of 2, 3 of 3, 1 of 4 and 1 of 5. For two saxophones. Maybe some day. ( The soundblog-version is written partly in Dutch, partly in English. A full English text is on https://soundblog.medium.com )

During the 111th unPublic, in the parallel space-time of David Blair's THE THINK, we found ourselves at the UFO museum in Fukushima, Japan, near Mount Senganmori, home to an ancient civilization said to communicate with aliens. A whirling collage of multilingual messaging, pings, rings, tones & drones pierced the ether of La Générale Nord-Est (Paris XIV): "les OVNI sont enfin arrivés dans le ciel, car c'est la fin du monde... ou du mot"

@gamesformusic@tabletop.vip Go, as the most abstract and ‘clean’ one among your proposed games, for me seemed definitely the most suitable for divers ‘musicalisations’. Nothing to do with being more or being less of my ‘favorite’ among games. bises, H
Every sudoku solution (suso) is a superposition of nine disjoint permutation matrices of order nine. These are its nine colors, or, for me as a sudokist, its nine voices.
And yes, of course, you can dissect it accordingly.

The day before our performance at the Brussels Grand Hospice ( http://www.harsmedia.com/SoundBlog/Archief/00912.php ), Huijun Yi, Shih-wen Lee and I met up with MC JJ Duerinckx & Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg in the studio space that Frans Claus made available for us in his Ateliers in the Rue Crickxstraat.
It was the 110th unPublic.

To announce & introduce my upcoming week (June 16–22) of un-popular music creation and concerts at the wonderful WORM in Rotterdam, NL—and perhaps make me even less popular :-) —Richard Foster, Esq., began serially posting my answers to some probing questions he recently asked me.
Here’s the first part : « Do not listen to obey. HEAR. Think. Resist! »

On March 26th, during the 54th OMFI performance at the Grand Hospice in Brussels with Huijun Yi (voice, guzheng) & Shih-wen Lee (double bass), I found myself telling the story of my mother's Xmas-trees.
