ID Music 20220128: No Footprints

stream | download

Inter-Dimensional Music is heard weekly on the airwaves of Marfa Public Radio, LOOKOUT FM Los Angeles, and WQRT Indianapolis.

This week's practice extends from the more esoteric parts of my recent essay on why NFTs and hope are bad, and passing on opportunities to acquire wealth is good. It's a return to one of my favorite teachings¹ from Kusala Bhikshu, the Zen monk that I sat with many years ago in Los Angeles. I don't think it's an intentional reference to the famous Christian "Footprints" poem, but it reads like a suitable counterpart to me:

Kelso Dunes Moonlight Ascent (2009) - Daniel Chamberlin

It also works as an upgrade to the Leave No Trace wilderness aphorism: Neither your photographs nor your footprints will last. 

Our soundtrack includes a chance encounter between a synth wizard and a clarinet guru, a long-form ambient grindcore masterwork, and an international premiere from Zona Mutante², Far West Texas' top-ranking doom-cumbia fusionists. 

More updates coming soon as we catch up with the backlog of broadcasts. This one is a test of substack’s new “video post” feature. So far, it’s fine.

Thanks – as always – for being here,
DC
