This is just a collection of random things that have captured my attention on the web.
I just came across an absolutely gorgeous free music download from an artist called Muhr. The release is called Poussière and can be downloaded from the net label Serein.
It’s a 5 track release and creates a beautiful ambience. Distant strings, subtle grainy distorted noise, lush pads and lovely bass tones. Everything fits together really well and Muhr has created a wonderfully organic sound from his electronics!
Definitely worth checking out.
I just purchased The Sound Of Machines Our Parents Used by Gescom from the Bleep store. Up until now I had a copy downloaded before it was re-released (it was quite a rare one this) which had been recorded from the vinyl and the quality wasn’t ideal.
Fortuitously, Warp have made this available as either 320kbps mp3 or in the lossless FLAC format. It’s brilliant hearing it in it’s full intended sonic glory.
What a release!
I just came across this extremely strange review, if it can be called that, of Quaristice, the upcoming new Autechre album. Perhaps it is trying to be as mind bending as Autechre’s music can often be?
I pray silently among the cacophony for my stop to come but instead we are delayed due to a sick passenger at 42nd Street Times Square. I am assured by the grimy, muffled speaker above me that we should be moving shortly and that we should be patient. Only minutes earlier, this same politely authoritarian voice advised me to keep an eye out for suspicious packages and activity from my fellow passengers. Instead of figuring out whether or not to trust this fourth simultaneous assault on my senses, I turn back a page and consider how late I already am for work.
Completely unmusical, but what the hell.
I came across this random animated gif that someone’s using as their avatar on Last FM. I thought it was funny. So here it is:
Just came across a really positive review of Gescom’s most recent release. It sounds like it’s definitely worth picking up.
It’s freaky, it’s frightening, it sure as hell beats Autechre’s most recent stuff which has been just a bit too far out there to stomach and, until the next rare-as-rocking-horse-shit Gescom release, it’s utterly essential.
