Damon Krukowski's extracurricular activities

A few bits and pieces to catch up on what Damon has been doing when he's not being part of Damon & Naomi.

Damon's working on a non-fiction book - "The New Analog" which I guess has grown out of this Pitchfork piece from last year.

In other words, mapping ourselves via headphones or GPS can lead to disorientation. Without analog clues to guide location, the world becomes an Alice-in-Wonderland-like place where signs pointing north nonetheless lead south, and sounds come from the left or right but never straight ahead.

He's also written a piece recently for Pitchfork making "the case against subwoofers":

To my ears, the bass boosting of Beats and of home theater systems designed to mimic reality for movies and games doesn’t translate to a “real” experience of music. But my idea of real is based on the experience of physical instruments, acoustic and electric. And perhaps the reality of music itself has undergone a change.

It's definitely worth following Damon on Twitter for insightful commentary on all aspects of the music biz... and beyond

I say let everyone stream free so it doesn't require massive capital to build alternatives - we have nothing to lose but corporate crumbs

... and keeping an eye on his blog.

And for all this and more Damon has a new website - DadaDrummer.com.
