Lia Kohl - Various Small Whistles and A Song
Here's a fun 16 minutes: 15 tracks all written around a #FieldRecording of someone whistling, ending on the promised song, and every track only 1 minute. I know Lia Kohl as a cellist, but plenty of electronic noodling. All based on a 1960s visual art pamphlet, more info on the page.

in reply to Michael U • • •This Lia Kohl album has challenged my assumptions about writing “proper” music - why do I not think a track I’m making is legit and done if I like it and it’s say 45 seconds?
I don’t think this way as a listener, so why as a music maker?
Last time I reminded myself of this was decades back now, when beat tapes became a popular thing. Is Dilla’s Donuts good or bad because of the length of the tracks on it? No. Duh.

in reply to Michael U • • •I blogged about the Lia Kohl album that's making me reflect on my own music making, the rules I apply to myself without noticing vs. rules I might more explicitly make up.
