Remembering Achim Szepanski, Mille Plateaux founder and dissident

We’ve just learned of the passing of Achim Szepanski, founder of Mille Plateaux and Force Inc. labels, icon of glitch, “Clicks + Cuts,” and a visionary beacon of experimentalism across Germany and internationally. And just as importantly, a dissident. Here is a collection of remembrances in English and German.

Phil Niblock, unstoppable composer and artist, remembered

Adventurous composer, musician, filmmaker, and conceptual artist Phil Niblock remained active right through his later life – an embodiment of the potential a life can hold, irrespective of age. With his death at age 90, remembrances are pouring in. And we have an unusual record of events leading up to nearly present day.
