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

"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:

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?

The first one I heard was Yak Folks Y'Are and it made me fall in love with them instantly.
― emil.y, Monday, 17 April 2023 16:02 (one year ago) link
Not my favorite Bear but certainly a Bear. I think Five Hundred Boy Piano and The Mountains Among Us are the big favs, at least among the Spock-hairs I went to college with. I also rate Classic Erasmus Fusion, Yak Folks Y'Are, and Golden Rhythm/Ink Music. They're great live.

i get this thread title stuck in my head all the time

Yak Folks is great, my personal fave is Amidst The Noise And Twigs, 500 Boy Piano and Classic Erasmus Fusion are also very good

https://www.lykkebaekken.com/^^no daw involved in this analog performance piece but I dunno which rolling thread it fits? takes a while to load but it's a very cool web-only interactive video of a percussionist unwrapping and playing a chinese spouting bowl, some great asmr sounds along the way but also just crazy resonances especially if you choose the distant mikes (from around 27mins in)

"Each episode is based on a found tape of a pre-recorded slideshow commentary. Most of these tapes were made by amateur tape recording enthusiasts and hobbyist photographers of the 60s and 70s. Their recorded commentaries would at one time have been used in conjunction with a sequence of 35mm slides but only the taped voices now remain. The recordings themselves come from Vernon’s own archive of found reel-to-reel tapes that he has collected over the past twenty years."

This feels like the place to cheer on the new Nihiloxica? Sounding fab so far

Possibly belonged on the non-bobbins club thread. I don't know. You and your confusing ways. But it certainly isn't hypergarbage

can i post my new quirked up garbage or is posting your own art still taboo as it was with old ilm …
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Friday, 29 September 2023 15:03 (six months ago) link
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

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/syeniteShe'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 Thoughtshttps://jacobbecker.bandcamp.com/album/pure-thoughtsDeeply fucked up music that basically fits this thread title perfectly— a guy and an acoustic guitar processed to smithereens. Really cool.

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”.

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:

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

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

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