Review Reblog -Album of the Day: Siddiq & Vektroid, “Midnight Run” — Bandcamp Daily
On the surface, rap and vaporwave make strange bedfellows. Dig deeper, though, and similarities start to emerge: both genres are concerned with image and illusion—often obscuring the uglier side of life behind a facade of materialism. That’s one of the primary concerns of the groundbreaking Midnight Run, the long-awaited collaboration between vaporwave-pioneer Vektroid and Houston […]

Review Reblog – quoll noses: chrissie caulfield on furchick
Great to read one artists’ thoughts on another and the last paragraph sums up my feelings about Furchick – fun and pleasure…”half-familiar mangled into a wonderful world that is all her own, a surrealist painting in sound.”
Furchick – Trouble with a capital T (download, dog park records)
Sorry for not having written anything for a while, lately I’ve been generally under-enthused by the experimental scene for all sorts of reasons. I have been searching for new music of course, but what I found was either too ‘mainstream’ for this blog or I didn’t really enjoy enough to write about it.
Then the opening track of Furchick’s album Trouble with a Capital T leapt out at me almost instantly as something I could engage with and that I think will interest you, our dear readers.
That opening track, ‘March of the feathered friends’, is built on the rhythms of some piece of machinery I’m not even going to guess the identity of. It’s alternately insistent and broken up and surrounded by drones that waver in and out. There is clanking and rattling aplenty here and I…

Review Reblog – various artists – A Documentary of Women in Experimental Music
Courtesy to YIKIS for the reblog : )
PS – There was an interesting note added by C-Drik at Syrphe – Recommend you check these out too.
Hi,
Thanks for this but not at all about women across the world, it’s very Western-centred. Here is a compilation of women in experimental music from South East and East Asia : https://syrphe.bandcamp.com/album/art-of-the-muses and another one (only available on CD) including women from Egypt who compose experimental music : https://www.discogs.com/Various-%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%82%D9%89-%D8%AA%D8%AC%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%84%D9%81%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D9%85%D8%B5%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA-Egyptian-Females-Experimental-Music-/release/4968572
artists: various
title: A Documentary of Women in Experimental Music
keywords: experimental experimental electronic hip hop lobit noise noise step women New York
label: Philosophy Records
“A Documentary of Women in Experimental music is a collection of noise and weird sounds from women across the world. From Sweden to England, from New York to Hungary– reflects just how widespread and varied experimental music and noise is. Come enter our world and get to know the ladies of noise.”
–mascara
Anastasia Vronski starts this compilation with a work titled ‘A Doc of Women in Experimental Music’. In it you will be greeted with a warm alien voice that talks probably about this doc of women in experimental music. It functions as a nice introduction.
Then Anastasia Vronski expands her contribution to this compilation by providing a very interesting track named ‘Expander’. I don’t know what it is that I’m hearing in…

World Listening Day 2016
The World Listening Day 2016 theme is Sounds Lost and Found. All this week the focus will be on this theme and there will be a concentration on Field Recording.
World Listening Day 2016’s theme, “Sounds Lost and Found,” calls on reminiscing, listening and observing what changes in our soundscapes have occurred in recent decades—be it language, nature, technology, music or even silence itself.
Thinking about this, I have tried in this playlist to convey a theme of sounds associated with the colder parts of the world that are heating up rapidly due to Global Warming. These sounds are gradually being lost or will be, especially with the melting of ice caps. Ultimately, there is the shift from Ice and Snow to Water.
Artists on this playlist are – Nashim Gargari, Kate Carr, Karen Power, Bethan Parkes, Maile Colbert, Una Lee, Jana Winderen and A Rawlings.
The playlist is a loose interpretation of the melting of the ice caps and the transition of ice to water. Here Jana Winderen has sonically expressed this perfectly.
“Jana Winderen researches the hidden depths with the latest technology; her work reveals the complexity and strangeness of the unseen world beneath. The audio topography of the oceans and the depth of ice crevasses are brought to the surface.”

Today’s Discovery – Miss Cutter
Looking through the myriad of reviews that I have to catch up on I came across Miss Cutter via YIKIS. The review of Four – Dimensional Dance Floor intrigued me by the title and you can read the review here .I know very little about this artist except she is from Buenos Aires and a brief comment that poorly translates as – I am not an artist, I am only weeping.
I like to listen to other releases if I can and came across her lo fi Baroque album which is Todays Discovery, which retains the original source music but with added other worldliness.
Article Reblog -The Rare Recordings of Pauline Oliveros, Jerome Rothenberg and More — Bandcamp
New Wilderness Audiographics, a US-based label founded by 75-year-old composer/poet Charlie Morrow, hasn’t released music for over three decades, but the label has just unloaded digital versions of 40 rare, mostly unknown cassettes. Originally recorded and released in the 1970s and early ’80s, the astonishing collection features music by such luminaries as Pauline Oliveros, Phil Corner, […]

Reblog – The New Peruvian Electronic Renaissance — Bandcamp Daily
“We have not been an industrialized society. It’s been precarious, but that has spawned a very inventive and rich culture.” —Luis Alvarado Electronic music in Peru dates back to the 1960s, but you’d be forgiven for not knowing that until recently. The tropical bass boom has put the Andean nation on electronic music’s global map, and […]
