Always did art from time to time, now it’s quite often. Experimental / avant-garde electronic music, traditional & experimental film / alt-process photography, poetry.During my first five months here, most of my posts have been about, in no particular order, #synths, #experimentalMusic, #wine and #baseball, though that’s not an exhaustive list of my interests. Likes: books, animals (incl but not limited to #dogs and #cats), very left political & societal views (incl #socialism), in-depth well-written commentary on same, wine, music, friendly people, gardening, baseball (Giants fan), #TwinPeaks & all things Lynch.Thanks for reading!

Hello, everyone.Here are some free download codes for you lovely people, all for my latest full-length, The Breath Behind My Eyes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Three weeks post-release, I can listen to it and feel mighty fulfilled by the world I created with my friend, fencepost.Who incidentally you should check out on #Bandcamp. They have multiple projects on BC under the names fencepost, relay station and basic tape loops. They are also the label head for the lessthanone (<1) record label. With that, here are the codes! Please enjoy them and the approximately one-hour of sonic pleasure they'll release to you. One per person, please.Stevenhttps://stevenraysound.bandcamp.com/yumbw5d-5pp4dh6e-7rbasq3b-5l47prxm-bae577bq-5bnrvwx7-bcvl7pev-wxtel7rr-h53uq5lw-ercqfrpe-ud4t#experimentalMusic

All -I urge you to read this essay. It's the last one in a collection of essays I've been reading by Stuart Hall, the brilliant marxist cultural theorist active in the U.K. from the 1960s through 2014.The Great Moving Right Show describes the changing political, economic and social climate in Great Britain in the 1970s which gave rise to Margaret Thatcher. As I've been reading it, the parallels to the rise of Trump and his rightwing cronies in the U.S. were profound. It seems that the people at Black Agenda Report felt the same way.A long essay, very worth your time.I think Thatcherism was a blueprint for the GOP.https://www.blackagendareport.com/essay-great-moving-right-show-stuart-hall-1979#politics

An analysis of the orange one and how his movement compared to classic fascism at the beginning of his first term, with addenda to bring it up to date. An excellent read.https://dsa-education.pubpub.org/pub/trump-and-american-fascism/release/1

Here's some free download codes for my new 3-track experimental EP, The Orange Department. Made with 1970s test equipment, shortwave radio and effects.In case the title doesn't make it obvious, it's an oblique reference to the Orange Menace, Tr*mp.dkl7-5bplszea-bc7es26r-xxpuj75c-gv547w7q-b92axs5f-w9x7qq7v-ctm5fbw7-xb9rmdsa-ec6lbqqr-uw8jhttps://stevenraysound.bandcamp.com/yumI'll post more when these get used. 🙂 #experimentalMusic #bandcamp
