Few people know that JFK was one of the earliest and most innovative experimental noise artists in the USA.

Farewell to the extraordinary composer Ennio Morricone (1928-2020), who wrote the soundtracks to so much of our lives on the screen. He once apologised he couldn't come to a concert of mine in Rome, but his son attended instead. What a gent and inspiration!

Ear buds? Huh, give me this listening device any day then! Architecture students built giant megaphones in Austria to listen to the sounds of nature

A sad farewell to the Japanese composer and actor Ryuichi Sakamoto (1952 - 2023). His most recent album “12” is a stunning work, sombre and elegiac in tone. It resonates with a sense of his own mortality, conscious that he about to plunge into the unknown, drawn away from life.

Farewell to the extraordinary Florian Schneider (1947-2020) of @kraftwerk - the man machine lives on through an astonishingly original back catalogue of inspirational music.

Looks like it's back to his roots, on the forthcoming @AphexTwin album "Kick out the Jams, Mother Folkers’" on @WarpRecords - this will truly blow listeners minds!

Farewell to Hal Willner (1956-2020), whose Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill (1985) was a constant on my record deck, and produced the work of Marianne Faithfull, Lou Reed, Bill Frisell, William S. Burroughs, Gavin Friday, Lucinda Williams, Laurie Anderson and many more

Word coming through that Tom Verlaine (1949-2023) of Television has slipped away. Marquee Moon (1977) remains an utter gem, with Verlaine's dry, crisp reductionist guitar lines painting an unforgettable sonic canvas.

Farewell to Richard H Kirk (1956-2021) of legendary Sheffield band Cabaret Voltaire. Connecting the experimental side of Roxy Music with William S Burrough's cut up techniques, their The Voice of America (1980) and Red Mecca (1981) remain utter gems of exploratory sound today.

Seems that the recent promotional photo for popular electronic music artist @AphexTwin might have confused and unsettled some people. Just to reassure you, Richard still has the kids very much in mind! And he's loving every minute of it! @WarpRecords

Farewell to Achim Szepanski (1957-2024), a member of the influential German experimental P16.D4 in 1982, but perhaps best known for founding the legendary German techno label Force Inc. Music Works, with the sub labels Mille Plateaux and Ritornell.

Just in time for Christmas @Ircam - still waiting on the Ferrari and Parmegiani studios though, when can we expect those please? :-)

A sad farewell to Teresa Taylor (1962-2023), Butthole Surfers drummer and star of Richard Linklater’s 1990 Slacker movie. I'll never forget their wild shows in the 1980s in London, absolutely phenomenal!
