Music for yesterday’s Dior Men Winter ‘25 show was an extended arrangement of ‘Time Lapse’ by Michael Nyman. Starting with the inspiration of Christian Dior’s ‘Linea H’ of Autumn-Winter 1954-55, the collection this season explored the metamorphosis of menswear. Simultaneously, for the second time, there was a formal presentation of the men’s couture, featuring looks intertwined with the ready-to-wear. Many congratulations @mrkimjones @misslucybeeden and all in the Dior Men’s Studio, Atelier and Teams, @kimjonesstudio Special congratulations to Kim for receiving the de chevalier de l’ordre national de la Légion d’honneur last night, what a day! x Styling by @melanieward Casting by @shelleydurkancasting Hair by @guidopalau Make Up by @peterphilipsmakeup Hats by @stephenjonesmillinery Dior Jewellery by @victoiredecastellane Produced by @villaeugenie Music Supervision by @simonmparris Movement Direction @leschild Special thanks to @amandaharlech Time Lapse (Michael Nyman) Performed by Michael Nyman Band © Michael Nyman LTD / Chester Music (P) 2018 Michael Nyman Ltd Courtesy of Wise Music France @edwardcrutchley @brimoo1 @lancelin_k @natalia_culebras @leeyoungkyoon @hodelwood @giothestranger @tonyta_ @valeria.pasco @lucmaxalbert @toonpaternotte @dylandec_ @hugo_dhh @margot_halard @_jpelias_ @cpaep @_hugoscott @mrsnatacham @oliver.penfold @toenitoni @conormccoy_ @nilonilo_ @gaspardmurphy

🪰 またね Japan. Moments from the last 10 days: 01. Jittoku, Kyoto. Opened in 1973 in a renovated traditional sake storehouse, it’s considered Japan’s oldest live music venue. In 1976 the Kyoto-formed band Les Rallizes Dénudés took part in the 3rd annual Sunset Carnival in Ishikawa prefecture on August 3 and 4, stopping in their home town on the way to the festival to play two nights at Jittoku days before. Their set from July 30 was subsequently mixed by former member Makoto Kubota for release last year. 02. Ura Mado, Shinjuku Golden Gai, Tokyo. Named after singer Maki Asakawa’s 1973 album ‘Uramado’ (Back Window), her portrait is fixed to the door. Temporarily closed due to it’s owner Fukuoka-san suffering from a serious illness, there is a fund-raising effort to support his recovery: /. Of Fukuoka-san Keiji Haino says on the donation page’s message board “We often talk about Ayler and Coltrane, and then we’ll talk about Furtwängler and Karajan. I think that will take decades.” 03. Fushitsusha (Haino Soukyoku), ShowBoat, Tokyo 03.05.26. Keiji Haino and band performing on his birthday. 04. Mushizuka 虫塚 (Insect Mound), Kan’ei-ji Temple, Tokyo. A memorial to dead insects erected by aristocrat Sessai Matsuyama in 1821. Its purpose was to console the spirits of the flies, crickets, and grasshoppers that had been killed in the production of a scientific text - an anatomical study of insects that Matsuyama himself had commissioned. 05/06. Kyo no Yado Ishihara, Kyoto. A family-run ryokan where Akira Kurosawa stayed for several weeks whilst filming ‘Kagemusha’ (1980). The inn’s “Kurosawa Room”, where he worked on scripts and storyboards, showcases items left by the director including a pair of slippers he signed. Captions continued in comments…

🌌 Burning the day w/ Lutz Bacher, yesterday afternoon in Oslo, falling for moments across five decades of uncompromising work. The exhibition title is that of an unfinished book by Lutz, which now exists as a binder in her archive The Betty Center. A chronological compilation of the artist’s work from 2013 until nearly the day she died in 2019, the book’s title cites the expression used by soldiers during the Vietnam War to describe time spent off duty but still deployed: “burning the days.” Image 1: FIREARMS (2019) / Levi’s 2 (2018) Image 2: Chess (2012) Image 3: Yamaha (2010) Image 4: The Lee Harvey Oswald Interview (1976-78) Image 5: Life Form (2018) Image 6: Pink out of a Corner (to Jasper Johns) 1963 (1991) Image 7: Closed Circuit (1997-2000) Image 8: Bison (2012) Image 9: Jackie & Me (1989) @astrupfearnleymuseet and @wiels_brussels present ‘Burning the Days’, the first posthumous survey exhibition of American artist Lutz Bacher (1943-2019). #lutzbacher

🪰💿 Announcing ‘heavy night waits on the dawn’, a limited CD release of recordings I made earlier this year, a 9 track demo of a moment. The physical release is kindly supported by @ccsteding as the latest instalment in their Artist Series and comes in a beautiful hand-stamped aluminium case of their design. Love and special thanks to Nic and Ben for the invitation and support, and to Scott Young for the musical exchange and collaboration. The ongoing Artist Series gives carte blanche to an artist to make new work in a form of their choosing. Aiming to generate an unexpected body of works and a wider context for CC-Steding’s own practice, the series exists outside of commercial interests, and particularly focuses on community and offline interaction. To launch this instalment we’ve collaborated on a limited edition of 100 CDs. Some copies will be available without charge, in person by request at @donlonbooks and @twos.care in London and @1909.bookstore in Paris, from this coming Friday, August 8th. Each CD comes with a personal download code. Tracklist: entrance* flicker mass/hysteria for C.I. ceremony II slow dissolve** persuasion away, in silence exhausted hearts* All tracks written, produced, and performed by @simonmparris Additionally *piano / **lead guitar & vocals, written and performed by @scottsyoung Mastered by @stanislav_pain CD design by Julia Monsell @jemonsell Aluminium case by CC-Steding With thanks to Kelly, Conor, Joe and Josh
