Most of my playlists begin with a musical anchor. Today it starts with Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint which I have been listening to on repeat this morning to cleanse my psyche of some troubling and pretty icky miasmas. Played by the incomparable Sean Shibe. Music, as always — should be, and is — the roadmap … Continue reading Tuesday Tonalities 17/08/2021
