Two worth checking out. The Thaemlitz sold out, that's surprising.

I got it direct from Terre himself – or herself Smiley

Autodidact Inflexibility
by Muttley

https://focisleft.bandcamp.com/album/aut...lexibility

Part autodidact mix - the art of a self-taught composer.
Part lesson on inflexibility in linguistics and music, art teacher style.
Very buffoon-y, naturally I am a self-described buffoon, but I'm kind.
Because of that, this is a free download. Please share, appreciated.
Hopefully it may entertain or help you get involved with music.
For proper education, we go to college and university for these things.

This looks interesting. And sounds interesting, too.

A-z Soundcheck July 2017 Issue 401

Dunno what it'll sound like right now but this is a cool concept.

"The debut from the Tanzania Albinism Collective is a compelling but frustrating exercise in politically charged social music making. By Zakia Uddin". 

White African Power is the product of a workshop of albinos, most of whom have never written music or performed before. Producer Ian Brennan travelled to Ukerewe Island, four miles from the Tanzania mainland, to find the performers".

this is pretty good...

Gazelle Twin - Pastoral (Anti-Ghost Moon Ray)
