Martin Bartlett was an inspiring and original thinker, composer, writer, performer, and organizer. His preoccupation with building aleatoric elements into electronic music distinguishes his work. He devised elegant and open interactions for instrumental performers and computer-controlled synthesizers which included building his own electronic devices and extensive work on the Buchla 400. He worked with or studied under Pauline Oliveros, John Cage, and David Tudor, and collaborated extensively with Don Buchla, and some of their live performances are included on the LP Anecdotal Electronics (ALE 009LP). He also studied Carnatic vocal music with V. Lakshminarayana Iyer in Madras, South Asian music with Pandit Pran Nath, and gamelan with K. R. T. Wasitidipuro. He founded the Vancouver Community Gamelan in 1986. His performances were often collaborative - for the Western Front's second anniversary in 1975, he devised the four-channel piece "One Piece for Everyone", where he prepared and cooked a cauliflower curry on a table connected to a self-built synthesizer, while reading from texts on food. When the curry was cooked, the piece ended, and everyone was fed. Bartlett was a prolific writer, and he expresses himself in fresh, lucid, and wonderfully descriptive prose, offering clear thinking on social aspects of electronic music performance; on the barriers between the performer and the "black box" and on possibilities for organic systems in electronic music. He also wrote the incandescent manifesto-like piece "Electronic Recalcitrant" (which forms the cover artwork for Anecdotal Electronics), in which he hoped that electronic music would be imbued with "organic codes of growth and metamorphosis" so that he could "pluck elegant and fleshy electronic sound fish from the frothy algorithmic sea of possibilities". It is unclear why Bartlett's work remains unknown. Perhaps it is because it remained largely inside the academy. Perhaps his commitment to live performance and community activity means it was more transient than the work of others. Perhaps his openness about his sexuality played a part in his music not receiving much recognition - one can only speculate. But correspondence in his archive shows that rejection from labels was a source of great personal discontent, leading to Bartlett working with the Western Front to release his final opus "Pythagoras' Ghost" shortly before his death. Bartlett died young, of AIDS-related causes, in 1993, but his music is characterized by an irresistible and unselfconscious charm that renders his sound unique. Arc Light Editions releases an LP "sketchbook" of live recordings, experiments, and spoken word titled Anecdotal Electronics (ALE 009LP), and a CD of Bartlett's longer electroacoustic and orchestral works, titled Ankle On. Compiled and edited by Luke Fowler with Jennifer Lucy Allan. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.

Best diaper/traveling bag!!
Color: Desert, Size: Large
Absolutely LOVE this bag!! The fabric of the bag was better than I even expected. It’s super soft, comfortable, easy to wipe down, has plenty of storage, sturdy even without stuffing it full, and is the perfect bag! It feels nice and thick without it being heavy. The zipper is also very durable and isn’t cheap feeling compared to other brands. I will definitely be ordering more in the future even to use for just traveling. I switched from a book bag diaper bag style to this bag and I feel like it holds even more! Plus, I love that you can expand this bag!! You won’t regret buying this one!!

My new travel bag!
Color: Chocolate, Size: Large
I love this bag. It will be my new travel bag, replacing my back pack. It has lots of pockets and looks fashionable. I love that it’s expandable. It will be helpful for those trips where I seems to bring back more than I originally packed. 🤭. The shoulder straps are long enough to give you adequate space to carry on your shoulder. I also live that it has a strap to put on that handle of your luggage. The size is perfect for fitting under the seat in front of you when flying. If it holds up during my next trip I will definitely return to purchase other colors. Great bag for the price!

10/10 favorite bag of all time.
Color: Chocolate, Size: Large
LOVE this bag so much!! I use it for work and it fits my change of clothes, lunch box, water bottle, headphones, book, and a little extra.
It fits everything you need with so many organizing pockets and tons of room, zipper is great, accessibility is great etc etc. It's nylon-ish feeling in terms of material, and washable which I love. Would recommend this as a dupe to baggu as well. I also love the chocolate color, my favorite!

Great versatile bag!
Color: Black, Size: Large
This tote bag is remarkable in that it’s very nice looking and so lightweight with many great pockets. It is expandable as advertised. The strap that makes it easy to attach to luggage strollers is an example of its versatility. I’m thrilled with this item’s design and comfort afforded with the wide straps and ease of expansion.
