rolling frankly annoying quirked up random ass sounds glooped onto a DAW 2023

I did little write-ups of my favorite records of 2022, fwiw available here

saw matchess live last year - great show

good list. think that romance record was my aoty (besides st. GIGA)

I mean pretty much all music now is glooped into a DAW at some point

great list table

Came out last year, only heard of it this year. Unsettling guitar and vocals and blipped out synth shit, very melting and lo-fi. Lovely stuff.

ooh nice thx!

crosspost from the Jazz thread, but despite being rooted in ragtime/big band stuff, this new Jason Moran has some wild stuff on it

https://jasonmoran.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-dancehall-to-the-battlefield

here's some new music stuff for any of you ny types in february
https://www.voicesofascension.org/voices-of-the-new

OK, I'm like 18 minutes into the 3xCD Kali Malone and this is outrageously good.

i do'nt know what rolling frankly annoying quirked up random ass sounds glooped onto a DAW 2023 are but isn't Kali Malone not that?

I'll gloop sounds onto a DAW if I want to, you can't stop me

I haven’t heard Kali Malone, admit that the Bandcamp buyers and general vibe turned me absolutely off


always willing to be persuaded, tho. link?

I'm a fan, in part because she sometimes whiffs entirely, which is a good quality in an artist

the Bandcamp buyers turned you off?? What do you mean?

Ned Raggett sub-post

the Bandcamp buyers turned you off?? What do you mean?

can you maybe tease out that logic a little further

xpost you cannot be serious

that came out wrong, i think—

what i meant is that i tend to try to support artists on Bandcamp that are making good stuff but don’t have in excess of like 700 people with the record in their collections. i know that is a small number, but a few of the records that i think were last year’s best have like 78 people supporting it. just a matter of trying to help the even smaller guy

is there somewhere where you get that number or do you just have to count up the little user tiles on the album page?

I think you can see it somehow

if you buy something or, more pertinently, add it to your wishlist it will tell you how many collections it's in

ok, that makes sense, unfortunately I often buy a lot of single tracks and it seems like they only show up in a collection if a user also bought them as a single track. In other words, if someone buys the full album, the individual track doesn't seem to show up in their collection.

feel like Kali Malone isn't exactly debating which of her Maybachs to sell to make room for her Pagani Huayra

Went from gloopin DAWs to whippin foreign cars

oh I know. it’s also all the LA tasteful ambience people I know kept raving about it. they should know! but i am icked out by the vibes of that scene.

In the spirit of this thread, I would very much appreciate recommendations from the thread participants that fit the following criteria:

1. released within the last month (i.e. 2023)
2. pay what u want or reasonably priced digital option
3. shorter tracks in general, open to a mix of short & long, or medium (4-6 minutes is medium to me, less is short, 7+ is long)
4. minimal to no profanity
5. generally in the weird/wild/experimental category but I am a sucker for pretty drones and melodies, don't care abt vocals/lyrics as much. all genres acceptable really.

Full disclosure, this is for my public radio show that requires 4 tracks per hour that have been released within the last 3 months. You can view my past playlists here, for some reference points. the "New" ones are the ones I'm after:

oh uh and this is pretty much Bandcamp-only altho again I am open to other options

niiice, thanks Jordan! Howie Lee and Nyege Nyege I know, will check the rest

frankly annoying quirked up random ass sounds glooped onto a DAW perfectly describes the kind of shit I churn out tbh. Are we allowed to post our own tunes in here or is this for official releases only?

gloop it up

Thank you! Have some random ass gloop for your listening pleasure (or possibly not)

would this be the place to note that a new tim hecker album's due out in april? preview track sounds great:

https://timhecker.bandcamp.com/album/no-highs

New joint from Kankyō Ongaku vet + Italian trombonist is v pretty.

https://wrwtfww.com/album/music-for-a-cosmic-garden

i think this is the scene being subtweeted in the thread title, also a cross reference for the “music like mono no aware” thread

https://29speedway1.bandcamp.com/album/29-speedway-channel-plus

This 29 Speedway compilation is otm. Cheers uptown churl.

Sick psych/noise/improv from three vets of the Chinese underground, definitely my favorite purchase of today.

https://wvsorcerer.bandcamp.com/album/les-trois-amis-de-lhiver

On repeat

https://loscil.bandcamp.com/album/colours-of-air

thanks all!

this new David Lee Myers (f.k.a. Arcane Device) release is very much my thing

https://davidleemyers.bandcamp.com/album/ceremonial-fires

"To be still surprised is a great thing. I heard a lot of music by David Lee Myers under that name and his moniker Arcane Device. Some in the past few weeks (even last week) were all along the lines of what one expects. Serious works of drone music, sometimes louder, sometimes more complex, lean heavily on modular electronics and self-generating sound systems. Then 'Ceremonial Fires' arrived. Nothing short of a total blast here. First of all, these thirteen pieces are short and to the point. I have no idea why there is a radical change like this, but Myers works with rhythms, sampled voices, sampled everything, and stuck together to be a good song…none of this aims at the dance floor but is well suited for a proper sit-down and listening session. In each of these pieces, a lot is happening. On the surface, the front-end of the piece and in the background, Myers creates a dense field that never blurs. It is always open and spacious, and much care for the more minor details of the music. I have no idea if this is a one-off change of direction or something Myers will explore further in the future. Obviously, I hope the last will be the next route for him. There is a lot of new territories to explore here, and the road is wide open." —Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly

some nice doomy guitar improv from barcelona:

https://urpaimusell.bandcamp.com/album/lepok

A little late to the new Tim Hecker but it absolutely goes so far

yeh my favourite hecker since ravedeath

happy to see Volcano The Bear active again, this is a "new" lost album from 2007

https://volcanothebear.bandcamp.com/album/amateur-shakes

Yes, love VTB. They are from the next city over from me so I got to see them a couple of times back in the day. Always had my favourites but looking at their discography on bandcamp there's so much I never heard, lots to explore.

I'm a big fan of the Volfur/Volseptor/Volnono/etc live series

wooow love VTB, very cool

If I've never listened to VTB, what should I start with?

can i post my new quirked up garbage or is posting your own art still taboo as it was with old ilm …

Go for it. Here's my new quirked up ambient folk post-rock DAW-guitar & drums duet album that came out today - https://thetrilogytapes.bandcamp.com/album/gurum-triads

wow this is so lovely and restrained, so far. i felt quite 'seen' by the tweet that gave this thread its title. in any case, here is my similarly acoustic guitar foregrounding record

https://jacobbecker.bandcamp.com/album/pure-thoughts

Thank you! I enjoyed your preview track (would like to hear the whole thing), love the title & concept. It reminds me a bit of Organ Tapes' recent work.

thanks so much, truly! it will be on Spotify soon but maybe I’ll see if ilxmail works for a special delivery ….

a few things from today:

Ly Trang- Syenite
https://lytrang.bandcamp.com/album/syenite
She's a member of Run Cap– has a "fourth world" quality that is really compelling, drones and creaks and birdsong and moments of trancelike meditation. weird shit.

Jacob Becker- Pure Thoughts
https://jacobbecker.bandcamp.com/album/pure-thoughts
Deeply fucked up music that basically fits this thread title perfectly— a guy and an acoustic guitar processed to smithereens. Really cool.

haha (posted by the artist two posts upthread!)

oops lol

well i like it alot!

yeah jacob/churl this record is great, well done

Syenite was also posted months ago to my rebel hypergarbage thread lol

search didn't turn up anything, oh well, i am behind the times and can't remember these things.

this is from 2019, i'm loving it: https://junkyardshaman.bandcamp.com/album/junk-loops-for-an-amplified-typewriter

is this the new time travel weird music thread? This Bureau B compilation is tripping me out. Weird German DIY stuff, maybe sort of like if early piano magic were German??

https://bureaub.bandcamp.com/track/gespensterland

Over the last ten years a strange mycelium was sprouting from the ground of Germany’s sound topography, going widely unnoticed while creeping its way up through the copse of the ubiquitous “Neo-Kraut”, “Diskurs-Pop” and the like. We’re talking about a small underground network of artists and projects with poetic, mysterious names such as Brannten Schnüre, Baldruin, Kirschstein, Freundliche Kreisel and Balint Brösel. Operating in the margins and intersections of folklore, experimental electronics, dreams and nightmares, the “Gespensterland” LP archives and compiles their magic works for the very first time and already today it stands as a contemporary testament with an auratic presence comparable to that of Pordenone’s “Great Complotto”.

this rules, sounds like HNAS, thanks

ha, not surprised you dig it, sleeve, kewl <3

woah head over heels in love with gespensterland

it's very good!

i will contribute something new but - sorry to be sappy - i really have to say thanks to anyone who dug my record. a bit agog it even got into people's feeds somehow. honestly, i think getting a thumbs up on ilm means i can retire now ...

anyways. a bit less gloppy but two sick experimental records:

UCC Harlo - avant chamberpop/composition, on subtext (ran cap and ly treng labelmates), totally great: https://uccharlo.bandcamp.com/album/topos

Nascent scene of reverse-engineering the pop ambient series through a collapsitarian lens, is as close as i can get to understanding this, but the deleted label is putting out some interesting stuff:

https://deletedeletedeleted.bandcamp.com/album/wish <-- from 2020 but i feel that this crew is currently pretty active; here's some 2023 stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMUJ9sgMNt0

definitely cross-ref with 'music that sounds like mono no aware' thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwlsxbE5Ai0

the chuquimamani-condori (aka elysia crampton) album is the most gorgeous chaotic mess i have heard in a long time.

https://chuquimamani-condori.bandcamp.com/album/dj-e

yes it’s AOTY material. chaotic but extremely emotionally resonant and intentional.

I have no idea what the fuck this song is but I love it

wow this is something

saw them last night for NYE somehow. ended with the digital accordion heavy jam ... perfect soundtrack to the end of the year

yeah i love this.

my pal Cam Scott’s list might appeal to some of us

https://camscott.substack.com/p/joy-is-the-aim

Nice write-up of uptown churl's record on there :)

ha, indeed; cam’s actually a friend of mine too, but a person of such integrity that I’m sure that has nothing to do with his kind and otm words. he runs an amazing music festival called send and receive that anyone interested in this thread should check out!

this chuquimamani-condori record is so friggin good, thanks a lot for bringing it to my attention!
I have heard some Elysia Crampton in 2020, but I guess now it's time for a deep dive.

yes this rules
american drift was so good, time for a relisten

this album is fucking incredible, i'm just blown away

very hard to find info about this artist online

good little meditation here, they’re fka elysia crampton

https://www.documentjournal.com/2023/06/daytripping-column-mckenzie-wark-chuquimamani-condori-joshua-chuquimia-crampton-elysia-crampton/

awesome thank you!!

I don't feel spiritually prepared to listen to this yet

ugh that Wark piece ruined it for me momentarily, they are a charlatan and a bad writer

random q: is this person related to Barbara Crampton?

not at all as far as i know

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/may/04/transgender-producer-elysia-crampton-bolivia-aymaran-heritage

this article is probably a good introduction, with the caveat that they seem to be using neutral pronouns these days

I mistakenly assumed the 1st part of this name was Quechua, it's Aymara, but it led to good search results for the curious

wow so much goodness

as if this couldn't get more annoying, there are two threads for 2024:

rolling "out" music 2024: daw gloops, aleatoric banditry, skronk duos, and the occasional peace sign

and

rolling false positive corporate ambient 2024
