A light wheel. Via<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2022 “Part of the instrument\u2019s draw is its fallibility. Famously, or perhaps infamously, every Rhodes is different: some freakishly responsive, some with keys that stick like glue, and all with uneven registers, darker corners, and sweet spots.” Hugh Morris<\/a> on the delicate art of reinventing the Fender Rhodes.<\/p>\n \u2022 Rambalac’s YouTube channel<\/a> of first-person walks through Japanese locations is a vicarious pleasure, especially on a big screen. It’s not all city streets but if you like urban meandering then Tokyo walk from day to rainy night – Higashi-Ikebukuro, Mejiro, Ikebukuro<\/a> is a good place to start.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Igloomag: Chang Terhune interviews Stephen Mallinder<\/a> in a gratifyingly lengthy piece which covers Mallinder’s recent solo recordings and collaborations, his work with students on his sound-art course, and (unavoidably) the late Richard H. Kirk and Cabaret Voltaire.<\/p>\n What I think might be a useful approach\u2014perhaps impractical, but bear me out\u2014I think that if we were to reconnect magic and art as a starting point, because they\u2019re practically the same thing anyway, make art the product of your magical experiments, the way that Austin Spare did for example, then that would give magic an enormous sense of purpose and I think it would also lend art the vision that it seems to be lacking at present. A lot of modern art seems rather empty and hollow conceptualism that lacks any real vision or substance or power. A linking of magic and art would help both of those fields. Then, once you\u2019ve done that, maybe linking art and science. There\u2019s plenty of work already done in that regard.<\/p>\n Alan Moore<\/a> talking to Miles Ellingham about the usual concerns plus his new story collection, <\/em>Illuminations<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2022 Wheels of Light: Designs for British Light Shows 1970\u20131990<\/em><\/a> is a book by Kevin Foakes (aka DJ Food) which will be published later this month by Four Corners Books.
