New Anthony Braxton Book and Recordings
Source: Schott Music. For more than half a century Anthony Braxton, born 1945 in Chicago, US, has played a key role in contemporary and avant-garde music as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, music theorist, teacher, mentor and visionary. Inspired by jazz, European art music and global musical traditions, Braxton labels his output Creative Music. This book presents the outcomes of the first international conference solely dedicated to Anthony Braxton’s life and work, held during the Darmstadt Ferienkurse, Germany, on August 8–9, 2023. The conference is documented in work analyses, discussions and an interview with Braxton by George Lewis.

Thomas Pynchon's first novel V. (1963) features an AI named SHROUD who immediately starts talking about death and suicide. Gotta say Pynchon called that one!

Extremely rare b-roll footage of an Electronics Boutique in late 1994 or early 1995. Enjoy it!

I found this among 40TB of files from Digital Pictures' archive.
