Foxy Digitalis
I can’t believe we’re already in the middle of November. That is absolutely wild. Also wild? As I’m writing this at 4 PM on Tuesday afternoon, there’s an ice cream truck rolling through our neighborhood. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that in November. So that’s a thing now, I guess. This week’s new Songs of Our […]
Summer vacation officially ends tomorrow and while part of me is happy to get back on some semblance of a schedule, it’s been such a great couple of months that I’m mostly bummed. I think the kid is a little sick of me (even if she doesn’t admit it), but I’ve been having way too […]
As ever, the Daily is over on Patreon since it’s Wednesday (and it’s a pretty fun one today! Join us!), but there’s no dearth of great stuff on the main site today.

One of my favorite projects I’ve learned about this year is Chile’s bahía mansa. As I’ve dug deeper into his sound and history, a whole world of experimental music from South America emerged. Gratefully, he offered to make a mix of some of his favorite ambient and drone music from Latin America. Tracklist: El Encanto […]
Connecting with Iván Aguayo was serendipitous. Someone I follow on Bandcamp bought his album, La Orilla en la Que Habito, and I was immediately taken by the cover. I picked up a copy on a Bandcamp day and loved it. A day or two later, Aguayo sent me an email with information about his newest record, botánica […]
I wrote previously about Bahía Mansa’s fantastic new album, botánica del olvido, and how creates a lush sonic paradise. Iván Aguayo put together a video for one of the standout tracks, “amapolas,” using beautifully rendered, evolving pictures from an AI image generator. It’s a lovely accompaniment to the song, getting into similar esoteric zones as […]
Chile’s Bahía Mansa (Iván Aguayo) caught my attention with his meandering environmental journey, La Orilla en la Que Habito, but his newest effort, botánica del olvido, is an even more memorable aural portrait. Aguayo’s music is baked in nature, adorned with pastoral field recordings of the wind blowing through trees, gentle rain, and chipper birds all accompanying […]
