A thirteen minute track that is best to hear in headphones or via a pair of stereo speakers.

Edited in the shadow of the Cemiterio Do Prado Do Repouso in Bonfim, Porto, Portugal.

"To travel well is better than to arrive."

Here’s a mashup edited from longer escapades made over the past year at the room I have been calling the “NewSStudio” in Chicago. They were recorded in various states and times, always freeform improvisation, using instruments that I can’t say I really know how to play well…but explore in order to get better at.

I hope you will now sit back and close your eyes, letting these sounds meander through different motifs and motivations, using stereo speakers to fill the room you are in or headphones to hear it from left to right.

Good Grief is a phrase most often associated with that lovable and kinda neurotic cartoon character Charlie Brown. Charles Schultz's creation from a bygone era was a "deep thinking loser" who regularly exclaimed, "good grief!" when he was faced with life's challenges.

At various points in the last year (2025) I self-soothed with a loop pedal using guitar and harmonica. The sounds are expressions of lament and release, fueled by the times, my body, and as the USA made me dizzy with its ongoing downward spiral.

Remember, however, to feel is to be human! I implore you to practice self-care if you are reading these words. Music is certainly one of the best ways to process so many things, and it helps me with the whole range of emotions. Listening to joyful albums has been a salvation, playing with buddies, covering songs, but for now here is a little group of grief "songs" that felt good enough to post:)

This track started out with an arpeggiated synth layer that gave it a kind of beat, then I added the harmonica drone, and another harmonica layer of fills, then bass, guitar(s).

Kinda felt like a backwards process, but there's no right or wrong/good or bad really, just experience and existence.

Signal/Noise was originally conceived as a series of color photograms on analog film created between 2023 and 2025. In collaboration with video editor Matt Volla, Fogelson translated the photograms into moving images—crossfading, shifting saturation, cropping, and fragmenting forms.

The resulting animation expands across projected space, geometric photograms materializing along the axes of the inhabited architecture. Additional (and moveable) sculptural forms turn the space into a three-dimensional projection “screen,” between which animated geometries skip and fall.

Five sountracks accompany the video presentation. They were created by Andy Hall (All Handy), Pete Prezzano (Piezas), Jeffrey M. Lubow, Doug Fogelson (Dougie5) and are available here.

Debuted at a listening party on October 12th, 2025.

Love All Day is proud to present Dusk Breathing, the first recorded offering from Doug Fogelson and D. Stine. These two artists found each other's orbit in the context of some larger improvised collectives anchored at Fogelson's studio during the COVID years. They also worked together on Fogelson's Torus project, a series of recordings centered around performances on the Torus instrument, which Fogelson designed and built in 2020. Having become comfortable in collaboration, Fogelson and Stine sought to extend and simplify their sound as a duo. In natural audio partnership they created an earthy yet ethereal sound universe that sees parallels in the work of artists like windy and carl and flying saucer attack, but expressed through the pure and distinctive tones of the harmonica. Though often brought into a strange new contexts in a cloud of effects and electronic treatment, the familiar timbre of the instrument always grounds each extended phrase. In the weekly crepuscular rituals documented in these recordings, Dusk Breathing takes us to far flung reaches where a tone is stretched to a distance of becoming simple granular matter--but always returns to find its home in the end.

Torus is a unique instrument created by Doug Fogelson that consists of seven tubular metal rings that have been rolled into circles and sized so that they fit nicely within each other in a "nested" manner. Here the rings are suspended and played with mallets, etc.; they also act like a chime and are spun, various configurations are possible.

The six pieces are predominantly made with the brass Torus set but there is also an aluminum set captured with played sounds and resulting interactions between rings in a chime-like manner. You will also hear the rings twirling and falling on a metal plate, like the spinning of a coin, which was captured via room mics and a piezo mic on the metal surface.

The Torus EP was recorded and produced in collaboration between Doug Fogelson and Alex Inglizian at Experimental Sound Studios in Chicago.

Some travel sounds from the EU. Flight announcements from the Luftansa connection jump (Frankfurt to Madrid), then two recordings of a Jaume Plensa gong installation we encountered in the Rioja zone at a cool winery (we played them in two methodical patterned passes), and Richard Serra's large leaning sculptures creating unique acoustic spaces at the Guggenheim Bilbao, all captured as voice memos from the cellphone. Added some bass and a midi kick back home. Sonic mash up en la terra de Basqueros traveleros.

Three tracks learning how to use the midi pads to make some beats, while feeling like a teenager with it, this is a space for continual improvement.

Eddie Matthews saxophone for Track 1.

The "Ides of March" tracks continued...

The first is composed of the Solfeggio frequencies as created by an analog Schumann Wave Signal Generator, accompanied by a little sax and keyboard for some additional human and tonal elements.
Tinnitus warning.

The second track is a fun ditty made in the style of Boredoms, kinda, and using phonetic Japanese translation on "How to Improve Your Listening Skills". Thanks to Andy Hall on the Ludwig trap kit!

Last week's "Ides of March" track ended up here. Actually I worked on something else most of the week and then made this at the end, Saturday and Sunday. See if you can catch the THX "previews" reference:)

released March 18, 2025

Trying to make a track each week during the ides of March. Eschewing the kind of tight perfection my favorite artists have in their works & this is what I came up with during the week of 3.3.2025. Digging the cinematic slow and simple, but with slight changes and chance alignments, coming back around in the end.

Maybe picture a person sitting in a train window wearing headphones...or slowly walking across a sparse landscape on a horse, cigarette dangling.

Messing about with a few simple chords and feeling a bit "dubby" (even if the end result doesn't sound true dub styles).

Embracing the slippage.

Andy Hall on drums

Made in the NewSStudio the Monday after Super Tuesday 2024. I like how it breaks down and then finds ways to come back into some form of something again.

To survive the future I think we may need to keep it loose and cinematic.
