Rolling "Experimental Is A Shitty Descriptor But Whatev" 2017

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.

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)

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

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'

oh sweet didn't realise they'd redone it

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)

really into this Suda EP from last month
http://store.herrecords.com/album/hives-2

Enjoyed that.

whoooooo

https://soundcloud.com/decisionsrecords/air-max-97-reduct

he lives!

https://soundcloud.com/sd-laika/triple-question-mark

Hm, interesting!

idk where else to put this but mind over mirrors is great + loooove the new expanded lineup (i saw him a few times solo and would still have recommended but the additional elements take it to the next level imo)
http://www.nyctaper.com/2017/05/mind-over-mirrors-may-4-2017-union-pool/

"to the edges" sounds especially good, would recommend if you like some drums with your drone

https://bogbodiesmigro.bandcamp.com/

i really liked the album that robert stillman put out last year. this is his new band/project bog bodies, which is more experimental, but seems interesting. multimedia stuff incorporating film and improvised music. a little jazzy a little post-rock a little droney.

really into this ellen arkbro release "for organ and brass," great melodic drones of ... organ and brass: https://open.spotify.com/album/4Hljg3AmimZRK9dnyhVPTJ (sorry for the spotify link but it doesn't appear to be on bandcamp or elsewhere)

i love dense clouds of organ and/or brass so this is like catnip for me

Philly noise merchants Tidal Archive do a 24-hour ambient drone performance once a year and they are at it right now! Check it out...

Listened to the Arkbro this morning and enjoyed it. I saved it on Spotify and will keep it in mind when I'm buying music.

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

i missed this until now but this dude put out another album in april: https://missingorgans.bandcamp.com/album/overground-fantasy

This is pretty cool: https://neuguitars.com/2017/08/14/video-dai-fujikura-sparking-orbit-for-electric-guitar-and-electronics-on-neuguitars-blog/

(A piece for electric guitar and electronic signal processing, with some actually lyrical and beautiful moments)

I really like this Mana album on Hyperdub. Synth album, very little percussion, but it has a lot of motion. I've found myself listening to it a lot.
https://mana1.bandcamp.com/album/mana-creature-hdb111

The Iglooghost record is a monument to detail and production effort. So much happening all at once and from bar to bar, but somehow it's all clear in the mix and sounds stream-of-conscious in the end.

oh i forgot about this artist!
i liked chinese nu yr when it came out, will check this :)

whoa

wrong thread, that shit's totes attention deficit ;)

kind of loses me by being melodically unengaging, but bear in mind i am ruined in this regard and if you're just into cool beats then this has 'em

in fact this has a very similar should-like-but-don't effect on me as flying lotus, whose label this is seemingly on

Yeah there are melodies everywhere but not a lot to hang on to. I think it's literally ADD music in some ways (although less so than some of his other stuff).

i really like this record!
a mash up of sorts of lots of stuff i've been enjoying recently

https://tenthcourt.bandcamp.com/track/supercell

Wolf Shield - Supercell. This recent release is a little more interesting than the usual electronic/pop stuff coming out, to my ears at least.

some things i enjoyed over the weekend - sorry that they don't all fit here

IT IT - formal odors https://ititpgh.bandcamp.com/album/formal-odors
'this heat' kinda experimental art pop

infinite bisous - w/love https://infinitebisous.bandcamp.com/album/w-love
very relaxing ambient pop

golden teacher - sauchiehall withdrawal youtube.com/watch?v=GFpnkgd6iok
this track is giving me 'liquid liquid' vibes

Golden Teacher are ace!

Glad this one is coming out, such a cool banger: https://soundcloud.com/do-the-astral-plane/loft-heffalump-szare-remix-1
