• an extended article about the state of DIY, artist-run performance space in New York City, written by Jesse Rifkin (owner, Walk on the Wild Side tours & author, This Must Be the Place: Music, Community and Vanished Spaces in New York City)
• an introduction to the River Church, a converted church cum in upstate New York, where the band Pegg made their debut album with producer Bartees Strange
• Is Not Listening, a selection of what's been spinning on our collective's individual turntables and phones over the past few months

Is Not Music is a multi-platform project that creates, contextualizes, explores and archives work from artists. We work in physical & digital formats while making sure to privilege the former (IRL experience) over the latter (AI slop, social media & other algorithmic-driven popularity contests).
