Five links a week (or so). Music, sound, and other noise. Welcome to Edition 114.
Hello, every body.
Stoop Summit
Neat 2016 interactive from ‘New York’s Hometown Paper’ with image-mapped youtube clips from the musicians in the iconic ‘Great Day in Harlem’ photograph.

Contingency Plan
A delightful playlist of low-key, jazz-infused ambient and synth loops.

Optimistic Underground
I’m always here for old school music blogging. Found searching for ambient techno remixes (though the genre can be quite nebulous).

The Optigan
“In the early 70′s, Mattel devised this OPTical orGAN to play back the sounds of REAL instruments, encoded on celluloid discs like concentric rings of movie soundtrack. The result was pretty crappy sounding and soon forgotten by the world at large, but if this sounds to you like perfect fodder for an obsessive, almost fetishistic website, then you’re absolutely correct!”

Scanner and Hainbach: Dinner for Two.
Audiomunch. Missed this a few months ago; this is just delightful. And secret spoon drumming talents, to boot!
Thanks for reading everyone. Submissions welcome.
