With Pooh now in the public domain, of course we're going to get some weird Winnie the Pooh games. Winnie's Hole sounds a bit…you know, but it's actually a clever sounding game from Twice Different who made Ring of Pain.

Ahead of the release of Dune: Awakening, my one major concern with it has been swept away by the sands. Thankfully, the BattlEye anti-cheat will be enabled for players on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck to play it.

#Upcoming Lavish 6CD limited edition box set gathering these legendary, holy grail, self-released recordings by NWW List and Creel Pone certified French-Romanian spectralist #CostinMiereanu, who occupied a singular position within the French new music landscape. Available via #Metaphon, June 6th. forcedexposure.com/Catalog/mie

www.forcedexposure.comCOSTIN MIEREANU : Poly-Art Recordings 1976-1982 - 6CD - METAPHON - Forced ExposureAuryfa and Metaphon present <U>Poly-Art Recordings 1976-1982</U>, a lavish six-CD box set collecting <B>Costin Miereanu</B>'s legendary series of self-published cassettes and LPs from 1982 and 1984. Culminating four years of meticulous work, this project breathes new life into these recordings, remastered from the original tapes by <B>Stephan Mathieu</B> and accompanied by restored artwork and a comprehensive essay by <B>Vincent de Roguin</B>. Born in Bucharest in 1943 and naturalized as a French citizen in 1977, Miereanu occupied a singular position within the French new music landscape -- one foot in the establishment, the other in a world of deeply personal, boundary-pushing creativity. Alongside his intricate orchestral works and demanding academic career, he also produced the semi-improvised solo performances and electroacoustic compositions featured in this collection. Drawing inspiration from <B>Erik Satie</B>, film soundtracks, semiology, Romanian folk and art music, <B>Gilles Deleuze</B>, avant-garde literature, <B>Terry Riley</B>, and atmospheric phenomena, these twelve pieces were crafted using an array of synthesizers -- Minimoog, Polymoog, PPG Wave, Prophet-10 -- supplemented by piano, organ, and a handful of other instrumental sources. Their textural palette and occasional whimsy bear affinities with 1970s meditative synth music, yet they eschew psychedelic excess or cosmic grandeur. Instead, they reveal a vibrant, nuanced complexity that becomes more apparent with each listen, rooted in Miereanu's extensive musical studies and commitment to the ideals of 1960s experimentalism. Within that period's context, this music ultimately sails in the same sonic currents as <B>Harold Budd</B> and <B>Brian Eno</B>'s collaboration, and the output of <B>David Behrman</B>, <B>Alvin Curran</B>, or <B>Laurie Spiegel</B>. Originally released on Miereanu's own Poly-Art International/Records and initially met with limited attention, these recordings have since gained underground acclaim among new generations of listeners. They offer a rare synthesis of accessibility and formal ambition, reflecting Miereanu's unwavering pursuit of artistic freedom, a world away from the high culture dogmatisms inherent to the European modernist tradition. His wide-ran-ging associations -- from the spectralists (<B>Horațiu Rădulescu</B>, <B>Tristan Murail</B>, and <B>Gérard Grisey</B>) to mavericks such as <B>Giacinto Scelsi</B>, <B>Luc Ferrari</B>, and <B>Walter Marchetti</B>, as well as the French underground electronic music scene (including <B>Philippe Besombes</B> and <B>Jean-Louis Rizet</B>, who engineered much of this music, and <B>Richard Pinhas</B>) -- help illuminate his unique artistic position.
