I hadn't put out an issue of This Week in Sound in a few months, but managed one last Friday, then this Tuesday, and now today, which happens to be April 14th, or "Avril 14th" to Aphex Twin fans. Today's issue has three items: select covers of that now classic song; a distinction in anxiety around AI as it pertains to music; and a review of a recent documentary about the band Negativland. The cover image is from Stephen Newhouse’s lovely arrangement of "Avril 14th" for music box, embedded in the issue, which is at thisweekinsound.substack.com.
