An Album a Day #2

This is not totally different for me but last month I accepted the challenge, like many others, to listen to and write short notes on an album a day during February 2016. I thought I would post up these here as part of my Todays Discovery theme.

Not in any order of preference here are the next 5 –

Proving melodic instrumental electronic music is not ear candy –


ELIZABETH VELDON

Experimental avant garde electronic noise. What a great combination


WRTCH

REBLOG – Listen: Pieces of Juno – ‘Valentine’

Notes On Sounds's avatarNOTES, ON SOUNDS....

Earlier in the week, when covering one of the latest tracks from Dream Wife, we apologised for missing the boat a little when it comes to Valentine’s Day-related musical material. Well, we have to apologise a second time (shame on us). Though to be fair, the latest track by Pieces of Junoisn’t exactly, directly, totally related to Valentine’s Day, it just happens to have a bit of a wordy connection to it.

Kine Sandbaek Jensen has moved in all kinds of directions with her electronic project but from the sounds of ‘Valentine’ she’s continuing to experiment on this new collection.

Rhythmic electroacoustic / field recordings with a sense of place and culture.


KLARA LEWIS – ETT

Glitch DJing disparate sounds into a cohesive soundscape


ARS SONOR – TRANSIENT / ETERNAL

Awakening drone…Space with a barbed wire edge


SEA CHANGE – BREAKAGE

One to watch in 2016 –

ARTICLE REBLOG – ellen fullman, her long string instrument, and three archival films

Sometimes I reblog articles that are not strictly electronic but the underlying story or creativity just has to be given a wider audience. There is a recent interview with Ellen Fullman in The Guardian, which I read recently which has some interesting comments about being a creative artist and the responses she got when she wore the metal skirt in public. Worth reading.
