“It darkles…all this our funnanimal world.” — James Joyce, Finnegan’s Wake

Images by Michael Wolf and music mixed by Kode9 made my week. This darkling image is from Wolf’s Hong Kong Back Door series:

As for the music, this is an mp3 of a 20-minute mix that was recorded earlier this month on Radio One. The mixer is Steve Goodman (aka Kode9) and what is mixed is a CD by Burial that comes out next month on Goodman’s label, Hyperdub. In the way Wolf’s image of the apartment clusters is darkled by late light, low sea clouds, and faded colors, Goodman’s mix is darkled by the sort of hisses, crackles, echo tracers that Berlin’s Basic Channel discovered and mastered in the mid-90s.
