The 2018 Loma tour (featuring me, Emily Lee, Emily Cross, Dan Duszynski, and Matt Schuessler) is about to hit the east coast of the US and Canada, starting in Atlanta and ending in Chicago.
We’ve just finished an epic journey across the west coast, and if you’re thinking about coming to one of these shows, you won’t regret it…playing with these musicians has been one of the most rewarding musical experiences of my life. The show is (60%) quiet and meditative, but also intense and hypnotic—and people who’ve seen it have told me they’ve never seen us look so joyful. I believe them.
Hope to see you out there. See dates.

Here's some music I listened to while I was writing A Most Remarkable Creature. It's probably safe to say this playlist won't drag you to the dancefloor—but it's all good fodder for thinking about deep time, strange and beautiful animals of the past and present, and the wild landscapes of the southern New World.

Hey Dear JM! Never would i had expected that you would be a fan of latinoamerican folklore! If you mind the recommendation: this is a group of one of the later generations after Inti Illimani, also from Chile, who does some wonderful versions of latinoamerican folklore. I hope you'll enjoy (:! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q-mCG1rCyg
I love The Unanswered Question! It’s been far too long since I’ve listened to it. Going to remedy that now!
Fantastic timing, Jonathan! I just received my copy of your book about 5 minutes ago. Can’t wait to dig in! I have to admit I looked at the color pictures already, and they are impressive! Thanks for the music!
Great! I'm halfway now (somewere in Guyana) and I'm really enjoying it. I use the card you sent as a bookmark and say Hello! everytime I open the book.
Oh I love the Ethiopiques series!!
Discrete Music and Lantern Marsh are excellent! Cheers on the book release! :)
This is a nice spread! Can we share this on the Listening Library page?
Very nice list! Listening now while I work.
Not surprised at all to see Feldman on this list, JM. Joyful! I also write with/through his music. Inspiring stuff.
Can’t wait to try some of these out
excellent, thanks
Just finished the (wonderful) book - nice to have a few more things to explore!
Since the beginning of 2020, I've listened to more Brian Eno (in all his guises) than anyone else. No contest.
Thank you, Jonathan! Release tomorrow here in UK - very much looking forward 🙂
I love Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou! She has lived for several decades in the same city I live in, though her music was mostly composed before she came here I feel she has a special connection with local musicians. Here is a performance of her composition in a place I visit often. youtu.be/TcfNvhU2RkE

The album resumes. We’re almost there.
Listening to you right now. Ok, you are the soundtrack of my life.
Stay safe! Excited to hear what y'all release next. 😃
What a beautiful spot to work in.
woohoo
Super excited about the prospect of this record being completed soon, but I will wait patiently. Probably. What choice do I have?
I'm patiently lying in the grass...counting backwards from a thousand. Come on, come on!
Yes, can't wait!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Can’t wait ❤️
Can’t wait!!
