WAY
I love the narrative in this series of iceland photographs by Ruben Brulat. Could be stills from an epic, artfully shot horror film.

BY THE THROAT
By The Throat by Ben Frost - strong contender for the best album of 2009. Orchestral, brutal, sonic beauty that dips its toes into the abyss. Seek out this album in its entirety.

HARMONIUMWERK
Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch describes this work, "In 1968, I got a harmonium as a wedding present from my wife. From then on, I sat at the harmonium and played almost exclusively long notes that never wanted to end. I tried to listen into the infinite structure of the stars, into the unimaginable spaces searching for sound. The joy of beautiful colors, of (almost intoxicating) combinations of sound was most important but at the same time it was carried by the almost presumptuous task to conjure, to sing of, and measure the extent of cosmic space. The course of the stars were to be put to sound."
