Rolling "Experimental Is A Shitty Descriptor But Whatev" 2017

jamming to and enjoying this right now
https://mascarponediscos.bandcamp.com/album/true-history

the pull track is just a sped up version of thinking plague's "organism". speaking of which thinking plague has a new one set to drop tomorrow. their last few records were so cheery! i'm sure it will be an upbeat and uplifting experience.

ugh seriously half this record is just chunks of _in this life_ sped up. i don't know what the other half is but i'm betting jaikel didn't have anything to do with creating it. jaikel better hope steve feigenbaum never finds out about his "album".

yeah wtf

I mean I'm not against sampling/manipulation as a form of making music but this is just zero-effort nonsense

ha wow! in the age of vaporwave I am getting used to barely altered varispeed appropriation and still somehow having it feel legitimately 'authored' but for whatever reason, this guy putting his name on this seems notable for moral slippage

just happy to be on a board with members that can trainspot Thinking Plague in a 90 minute window, maybe the alt reality where 'In This Life' is standard album that every prog rock fan venerates is real after all

/is _a_ standard album

Happy Valley band is quite funny for those two songs but not sure if I could take a whole album of it

probs fav album art of the year, records p good too (choice cut is 'all deth is u')
https://hausumountain.bandcamp.com/album/drip-mental

I've been getting into Andrea Pensado's Soundcloud. Meticulous digital noise compositions.

nxd that is great and it belongs on my thread not this one just fyi

yes, this is silly. but arbitrary vanities of nebulous difference doth a messageboard make

wowzers that hausumountain label is a veritable treasure trove of variegated mentalism thanx nxd !

yeh that walkthrough album is really cool, one of my favs of last year

https://billygomberg.bandcamp.com/album/transition

v richly detailed and textured drone-ish material

Guys: http://caseysokol.com/?page_id=793

V cool interactive algorithmic/generative piece that is different each time you play it.

new stuff from Draugurinn. dark ambient Norse-obsessed stuff from France (which admittedly sets off a couple of "who's yr crew" alarms)

pretty nice

https://joshuasabin.bandcamp.com/album/terminus-drift

New release on Subtext, FFO last year's Roly Porter, Paul Jebanasam

some great stuff here cheers dudes
put it on last years time travel thread but the stuff at haord records is all worth a listen
https://haord.bandcamp.com/music

from last year but i didn't see a mention anywhere

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M52I0gnuipE

like the durutti column meets 2001-era chiptune/idm meets footwork (??)

That one's really pleasant, groovy.

yeah euglossine was on my 2016 longlist, definitely one of the better vaporwave records of '16

yeh voted for the title track in the tracks poll! really great record

some friends of mine made an excellent drone record

https://aimlow.bandcamp.com/album/scratched-out

have we talked about impossible nothing's "phonemenomicon"? all of the buzz seems to come directly from piero scaruffi, but i've gotten through to "s" and i'm liking it.

https://norentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/two-points-on-the-angle-nrr44

new Graham Lambkin tape

all of the DISPLAY series here is good. 10 - 15 min tracks by WWWINGS, Kid Smpl, etc

https://soundcloud.com/displayseries

wow, this track (and the other two on the EP, but especially this one)
https://soundcloud.com/danse-noire-records/gil-many-1

Yikes, this track is nutso. Took me a few listens but this is crazy good.

Quite like those DISPLAY tracks

Maybe on the melodic end for this thread but I like this : https://missingorgans.bandcamp.com/album/old-speakers
Nice cover too

wow, this track (and the other two on the EP, but especially this one)
https://soundcloud.com/danse-noire-records/gil-many-1

This is wild, I love it.

I liked the Missing Organs. I had been looking for more music like that.

Heard some of this on Freakzone the other day and am curious to investigate, but looks like I'd have to commit too much time to actually listen to the whole thing

http://www.waywordsandmeansigns.com/

"Waywords and Meansigns: Recreating Finnegans Wake [in its whole wholume] set James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake to music. The whole book! With readers and musicians from around the world, Waywords and Meansigns is simultaneously an unabridged audiobook as well as musical adaptation. Our 2017 May 4 release will feature 100 musicians, readers and artists from 15 different countries."

i've got that. it's fun, and some of it is great, tho some doesn't feel especially interesting as a reading. it's the Wake tho, it probably makes as much sense to bathe in it ambient-style as it does listen with rapt attention

"not especially interesting as a reading" was a clunky way of saying some of it isn't so much music as bare-bones reading

Yeah, the bit he played was an experimental sound collage, and it was only afterwards that I realized it was Finnegans Wake, think it was a clip from the new edition which is coming out in May, sound like they've been working on it a lot.

You can play a clip here, if you scroll down to 'Waywords And Meansigns'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08lpxtv

oh sweet didn't realise they'd redone it

https://soundcloud.com/emptyeditions/sets/last-signs-of-speed

nimble percussion w/other elements by Eli Keszler

this is cool, ty

OTM

yeah, dig this too

This just came out and is fantastic (file under experimental club)

Do we have a rolling thread for retro, completely un-experimental, electronic music? Y'know: the sort of thing released by Polytechnic Youth, Castles In Space, A Year In The Country and the like.

some great news!
fire toolz vs nmesh :D
https://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/fire-toolz-release-interbeing-remix-collection-suite-309-shares-nmeshs-absolute-cut-throat-remi

might just start a thread for time travel, noiselectronic, experimental, bleep bloops, vaporwave, orange milk 2k18?

it would need to be distinct enough from the 'experimental electronic' thread already in play but yes!

what is orange milk?

label responsible for death's dynamic shroud, giant claw, loads of other exciting US electronica. is elysia crampton on them?

ah! thank you

crampton isn't but they're still great

xps good shout i'll remove the electronic bit

Hmmm yeah, I guess I think of Orange Milk as being a little less functional, more cartoon-y, maximal, and heavier on internet detritus collage than what I'm into personally. Cool that they seem to have really found an audience though.

sounds like a description of haord music!

what makes Orange Milk different from the other dozen labels that release giant claw, death dynamic shroud.wmv etc?

not too much i guess, i didn't put too much thought into the thread name but shudda outlined genres rather than labels in hindsight

Park Jiha: Communion -- really lovely Korean multi-instrumentalist stuff

https://parkjiha.bandcamp.com/album/communion

yeah, saw this one on bandcamp daily (I think?) it's really nice

v relaxing listen - great stuff
