"And out of this worldwide festival of death, this ugly rutting fever that inflames the rainy evening sky all round—will love someday rise up out of this, too?" said Thomas Mann. It feels like for a moment today we can take the question mark away.
.@JamesTalarico: We didn’t win by alienating our neighbors, or by shaming our neighbors, or by ridiculing our neighbors. We embodied a new kind of politics. A politics rooted in a deep love — for our state, for our country, and for all of our neighbors. My faith teaches me that love is the strongest force in the universe. Love is not passive. Love is not neutral. Love is not weak. Love requires that we stand between the bullies and the bullied. Love requires that we look evil in the eye and not blink. Love can heal what’s broken in America.

MATTINGLY The Wild Heart - Gramophone gramophone.co.uk/reviews/mat… (paywalled) “Like a primordial celestial jig….Forever poised in a kind of suspended ecstasy It seems impossible not to get sucked into the life-affirming transfusion of energy that flows through the music’s veins.”

Breaking my pause to share this incredibly beautiful review of @dylanmattingly work. Dylan is the Whitman of our time. It’s not more violence that will shock us into waking up but the pure beautiful joy of true art that reaches for what we must strive for nybooks.com/articles/2026/08…

Recommend astonishing "Only Lovers Left Alive"--especially if you are attracted to the Ruins of Detroit.

John Adams once said writing new music is like being "a medieval stonecutter, forever chipping away at some huge cathedral that takes centuries to build." On January 28, Adams and the LA Phil New Music Group perform five world-premiere pieces by some of today's most acclaimed "stone-cutting" composers: Gabriella Smith, Samy Moussa, Noah Jenkins, Dylan Mattingly, and Francisco Coll. Be the first to hear their new music and get your tickets today! bit.ly/WDCH2425EJA

Everybody's exhausted by virtual reality hype and music + tech is often overblown, but what if I told you a humble Alameda minimal/gamelan composer who taught himself to code has created the interactive immersive VR music thing we've been yearning for? 48hills.org/2024/11/polytemp…
