Montreal! I'll be in town two weeks from now to launch A Nation of Tinkerers at Système on September 3rd! Join me in conversation w/ local artist and educator Peggy Hogan to explore the book's themes and tales of overlooked figures from Canada’s rich electronic music history.

A fantastic interview with author @therewasnosound.bsky.social.
I spoke with @therewasnosound.bsky.social about A Nation of Tinkerers, his new history of Canadian electronic music out today with @invisibooks.bsky.social
It's a crucial addition to the CanCon literary canon, and (by necessity) goes far beyond what we might consider electronic music today

A century-old novel that anticipates A Room of One's Own by three years and is so good that I'm surprised there's never been a Virago edition. Fortunately, our own @invisibooks.bsky.social has made it available again.
Read this in one gulp. Excellent, a breath of fresh air. Thank you, @invisibooks.bsky.social.
