We haven’t heard much from FKA twigs since 2005’s stunning M3LL155X. She’s back.

Classic Albums: Natura Renovatur by Giacinto Scelsi

April 24, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Of all the personal discoveries made during my multi-year quest through the Tower Records Contemporary Classical department, two composers stand out from the rest: Morton Feldman and Giacinto Scelsi. If I saw something new from either, it was mine and I’d rush back to my […]

April 23, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Smoke ’em if you got ’em. I snapped 455 photos during 3 days at Axpona 2019 (plus some Polaroids). You’ve already seen a bunch. Here are some more. I’m visually oriented so I care about how things look. YMMV.

Album of the Week: Aldous Harding (live!)

April 19, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

After Axpona ended at 4:00PM on Sunday, I went to the hotel bar to say my farewells. I arrived at 4:45 because I spent some extra time listening to music with Michael Vamos and talking to friends along the way including my former boss, Keith […]

Axpona 2019: The Wrap

April 18, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

More so than any other show, I need to apologize. We all know hifi shows can be big, really big, but there’s really no excuse for missing important things. And I missed a bunch. My excuse? I don’t have one. Besides, I don’t like excuses, […]

Axpona 2019: My Favorite Things

April 18, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

“You’re the best!” When you hear that being said, you know it’s typically meant to come with a pinch of sarcasm. If not, it implies the bestower of said gift is in a position to know what’s best. For everyone.

Axpona 2019: Sweet Speakers

April 17, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

Speakers live with us in a more obvious manner than other hardware. Speakers, especially loud speakers, live in-room and stand out as objet d’art (ideally). Which is all to say with speakers, looks matter.

Axpona 2019: Analog Analog Everywhere!

April 16, 2019 Michael Lavorgna

The simple act of removing a record from its sleeve, placing it on a turntable, queuing it up, and giving it quick brush off takes time. I like to call that time a ritual—a few moments of reflection and concentration before the event. A prequel. […]
