A weekly(ish) answer to the question “What have you been listening to lately?” It’s lightly annotated because I don’t like re-posting material without providing some context. I hope to write more about some of these in the future, but didn’t want to delay sharing them.
▰ The Turkish musician Büşra Kayıkçı is the latest musician featured in the excellent Project XII series from Deutsche Grammophon. Her new single, [“Bring the Light,”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJdsXrhFVlg) is a propulsive, athletic take on Philip Glass’ arpeggio-heavy minimalism. Listen for how she carves out space for individual notes amid the flurry. It’s tremendous.
▰ There’s not much in the way of liner notes for [*That Which Remains*](https://thecircuitghost.bandcamp.com/album/that-which-remained), a new EP by Circuitghost, but over on the [llllllll.co](https://llllllll.co/t/circuitghost-new-ep-that-which-remained/) message board, it’s explained to be remnants from a previous EP, *All That We Lost*. It’s a beautiful amalgam of small sounds in which textures are put to percolating, rhythmic use.
▰ This 2017 collaboration between the Quiet Club, an Irish collective, and Stephen Vitiello, the American sound artist, just popped up [on Bandcamp](https://digital.farpointrecordings.com/album/black-iris-2). Titled *Black Iris*, it’s an ever-changing assortment of sound objects, from bells to scifi wiggles, borrowed audio narrative to dramatic creaking, footsteps to feedback, just to name a few, improvised live.
