Woof Woof!

KN: Hello and welcome dear readers, as you can see I’m at a Dog Park. I came here with my dogs not just to play, but to actually meet one of the people who run this place (the director is Trevor who happens to be a dog) …
I say people, but it’s probably better to say her real name; Furchick! She is a music and sound maker of the experimental order, making sounds in particular ways with a ton of creativity and a bucket full of ‘don’t give a fucks’. Well I’m not so sure about Furchick not giving fucks, but that’s why we have arranged this interview… To get to know a bit of the real Furchick, or simply just have a nice conversation going on.. If that’s possible between all the dogs running and barking that is……

REBLOG – Midori Takada ‎- Through The Looking Glass

Some of you will know how I’ve championed this album in the past and so I’m glad to be able to reblog this here : ))

Untitlef
Through The Looking Glass is an album by Midori Takada that was released in 1983 on the label RCA. This album is ambient.

This album has some of my favorite ambient tracks on it. Beautiful serene melodies, slow warm drones, birds, windchimes, spastic xylophone(?) loops, and so on. The album utilizes lots of traditional and non-electronic instruments which gives it an awesome sound. Lots of wood winds and various minimalist percussions creating beautiful ambiances perfect for laying in a field on some alien planet watching the clouds. Half of the tracks are more serene and some are more tribal, especially with the final track “Catastrophe Σ” which is tribal ambient (a subgenre that focuses on rhythmic drumming instead of melodies) . My favorite tracks are the first, Mr. Henri Rousseau’s Dream, and the third, Trompe-L’oeil; the more serene / calm / melody driven ones.

NEWS UPDATE – SYRPHE – TODAYS DISCOVERY – FAR EAST ASIAN ELECTRONIC ARTISTS

SYRPHE has a new website with articles, gig lists and this piece –

Feminism in electronic and experimental music, the failure of most Westerners.

syrphe

Interesting perspective here and a wonderful insight into what artists are creating in other parts of the World, namely Africa and Asia. I have cited Syrphe on many occasions as a site that tirelessly promotes the creativity of artists in the electronic and experimental fields and the original playlists that I had on 8Tracks were based on the discoveries that I came across via Syrphe. The 8Track playlists I am in the middle of replicating on SoundCloud but this exhaustive list will add to the roster of artists I have linked with from not only Africa and Asia but also South America.
Finally, I recommend you read this article and discover for yourself. It’s great that there is an index of many of the under represented artists as well as the more known.

Here is a recommendation from last year but it still stands –

Todays recommendation from the Syrphe label is this wonderful sampler of  Far East Asian  experimental electronic artists and I shall be discovering more in the coming season but in the meantime –

TODAYS DISCOVERY – Olga Wojciechowska – Maps And Mazes (Time Released Sound)

Headphone Commute has flagged this release a couple of times and every time the process of reblogging has failed me. Not this time. This is music that strikes a chord with it’s sheer beauty and would be on my Christmas list or Best Of… if I had one.

Read the review here –

[Maps And Mazes] is a stunning collection of electronically treated modern-classical beauties… somewhat dark and moody at times […] yet always elegant and absorbing…

TODAYS DISCOVERY – Ars Sonor

“When you can’t find the light within yourself, as you believe, you search for it in others instead, totally forgetting about yourself… no matter how ominous this situation sounds, eventually you find your way back, through growth and experience. To your own light within you…” (Ars Sonor)
