This went out yesterday as a weekly bonus — a thank-you to people who financially support This Week in Sound. It supplements the free Tuesday and Friday issues, which feature a broader array of material from the field of sound studies. It contained an annotated playlist of recommended music. I wrote about ambient and ambient-adjacent recordings from (1) Donny Mahlmeister (using a beat machine for quiet music), (2) Chieko Mori (koto minimalism), and (3) Öppenlab Yorkshire (employing a handheld game console).
