this new one with Haino and O'Rourke is good
― Dinsdale, Saturday, 28 February 2015 21:27 (nine years ago) link
well the first track on Hubris has some lovely Future Days qualities to it.
― calzino, Tuesday, 15 November 2016 15:44 (seven years ago) link
The whole album is good, really.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 15 November 2016 15:51 (seven years ago) link
absolutely, only just got to the awesome 3rd track.

I love how it in album cover, name and song titles seem like a followup to Quixotism. For a musician that does a shitload of projects, he is really good at making them seem as if they make sense.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 15 November 2016 16:07 (seven years ago) link
thanks for the heads up, this new one sounds awesome.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 15 November 2016 16:08 (seven years ago) link
wow, hubris pt. 3 totally just blew me away. can anyone recommend something similar, by ambarchi or others?

i wish i could - it's really, really good

i am not very familiar with his work, but i've been giving myself a crash course because i'm going to see him play next weekend (https://lampo.org/archive/oren-ambarchi-2018/)

new, in a not dissimilar vein

ooh, thanks for that.i'm excited to explore his discography because he seems to be a hub that connects to so many different kinds of musicians and kinds of music, not unlike brian eno.

The Just Reproach, with John Tilbury, is one of my favorite recordings (of either artist)

everything Oren releases is fucking dope

only just now listening for real… i didn't expect 'suez' would be so… wiggly

i don't know what it was but my first taste of this guy a decade back (?) really rubbed me the wrong way so i thought he was not my thing when actually he was exactly my thing, live and learn

Gee, I was completely oblivious to Set. Wonder if many other episodes are online... (XP)

His new album is very good (as usual).
― stranded, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 07:52 (five years ago) link
Simian Angel? that's the one I'm currently on and it's very nice.
― calzino, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 14:03 (five years ago) link
yeah it's fantastic!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 14:33 (five years ago) link
that's what the thread revive is about! that's what we're talking about on the internet! the power of message boards!
― j., Tuesday, 6 August 2019 14:53 (five years ago) link
hah! what do you ppl think of Eli Keszler? his latest ep Empire sort of reminds of this a little bit and he's someone who I've got into a few of his albums now and his shtick is growing on me.
― calzino, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 15:43 (five years ago) link
“We Live in Pathetic Temporal Urgency,” that's a good title
― j., Tuesday, 6 August 2019 15:46 (five years ago) link
huh evidently he was one of ambarchi's four million collaborators, i had missed that one on my last trawl for new releases

― j., Tuesday, 6 August 2019 15:51 (five years ago) link
really liked eli keszler's stadium from last year, worked away at my subconscious
― ogmor, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 15:52 (five years ago) link
yeah Stadium is well worth your time.
― calzino, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 15:54 (five years ago) link
I saw Eli Keszler live at this year's Rewire Festival (The Hague) and it was and amazing experience. His last EP, Empire, is also worth hearing.

Really nice list of records. This was a great chat too: http://www.5049records.com/podcast/oren-ambarchi

always happy to see Dark To Themselves and Body Meta getting mentions.
― calzino, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 15:17 (five years ago) link
16 minute video to palm sugar candy from the new album. there is something quite meditative and timeless about the music. somehow more than ambient not only because of the beats. a kind of soundtrack.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPIbw1BLzC0

there are some (!) jim o'rourke records i've never listened to so i'm listening to them and, no big surprise i guess, oren ambarchi's 'rock' records sound like jim o'rourke's 'rock' records
― j., Monday, 3 February 2020 02:19 (four years ago) link
Yes, Black Truffle finally has its own Bandcamp page.

Found out about Live Hubris through the boomkat year end list. How good is this? Can't imagine there was much of a roof left on Oto after part 3. Fucking amazing.

this is excellent, thank you for the head's up

Just noticed Big Jim's name on the credits and shit myself thinking he must have been in London. He's 'there' in an early loop apparently. Eiko Ishibashi was there though and Mats Gustafsson. Damn.

yeah this one is killer, totally hypnotic.
― tylerw, Friday, 22 April 2022 19:31 (two years ago) link
This is fantastic. The outcome of this combination is what one might expect based on their prior outings, except that it's even better.
― doug watson, Saturday, 23 April 2022 00:14 (two years ago) link
throwing onto the praise for this - any recs to dive into for for Berthling/Werliin?
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 03:11 (two years ago) link
Rideau is my pick for (Berthling's) Tape.
Tonbruket's Nubian Swimtrip would be my suggestion for a Werliin record.
For more minimal improv grooves, Nik Bartsch's Ronin Rhythm Records has a lot of titles worth investigating.
― doug watson, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 10:54 (two years ago) link
The Time is a Mountain record from 2013 is good - features both Berthling & Werliin.
― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Tuesday, 26 April 2022 16:59 (two years ago) link
Good call, Chinaski. This is excellent, kinda like the midpoint of US and UK post-rock.
― doug watson, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 19:20 (two years ago) link
Yeah I love this too. It's basically a Necks album with guitar instead of piano, like fr.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Monday, 29 April 2024 19:02 (four months ago) link
Just getting around to this, and yeah, it's picking up right where Ghosted left off and sounding great
