During “ The Intersection of Art + Sustainability ” Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid) talked with Maranda Pleasant , Publisher and Editor-in-chief of Origin magazine about the magazine (Miller himself is the Executive Editor of Origin ). Miller - a superhuman force who claims to only have 24 hours in a day but who clearly accomplishes more than someone operating under mortal time limits - discussed his free app , his popular hardback offering “ The Book of Ice ” and talked about going to Antarctica to listen to the ice field. "All I can tell you is that I'm half-Jamaican, so that was crazy cold," Miller said during the morning panel when he discussed his trip to Antarctica.

  • New Release Reviews
    If I Think Of Love, I Think Of You: New Release Reviews Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world With the autumn season firmly upon us most of us want nothing more than to lock our doors and peacefully hibernate for a month or two. What we need now are records made for listening to in the cosiness of your own home (or at least a club with a decent heating system). This week I will be raving about some new releases which make the perfect soundtrack for escaping the perils of the outside world. By JOHN BITTLES We have the leftfield pop of Carla Dal Forno and Bat For Lashes, the hypnotic urgings of DIIV, Octo Octa’s euphoric rave rush, Insta:mental’s deconstructed drum ‘n’ bass and lots more. So, close the windows, tug the duvet tight, and let us begin… Carla Dal Forno’s You Know What It’s Like was one of 2016’s best LPs. Merging pop melodies with post-punk rhythms, fractured electronics and just a tinge of dub, it sounded like nothing else around. This month she returns to the album format with the dreamy DIY aesthetic of Look Up Sharp. Clearer and punchier than its predecessor, the album is, quite simply, an unmitigated success. No Trace gets things off to a great start, wistful vocals combining with a fabulously loose bassline to create a song which instantly sets up home in your head. Recalling the spectral ambiance of the Cocteau Twins, or a more sedate Grimes, No Trace is bordering on the sublime.
