What the fucking hell was that? I was skipping through the video waiting for the music to start. Oh. You mean that droning pulsing noise is the music?
That is Sunn O))) live
They do what's called "Drone" when I saw them it was like that "music" for about 45mins then a slight "riff" for the last part, some of their songs like bass aliens are 23mins long so I guess an 11min clip doesn't do it justice as you can't get a full taste of their erm "sound"
First time I heard 'em like everyone else I was truly appalled but it's "music" you really need huge speakers to understand, you know music & I'm sure you understand frequency, their stuff goes down to 20Hz.
Pieces I've cut from interview with Oren Ambarchi from the band, might give you a better idea of it & why I
their guitar playing
"physical low frequency sounds appeal to me and I've been using them since my first solo release on Touch. Since then, circa 1999, these low end frequencies have become one of my main concerns. Playing with Sunn O))) is such a pleasure, as it's so bass-heavy and trance-inducing"
"my solo work has become much slower, lower in the frequency spectrum and much more physical, especially when I perform live. Since I began working with Sunn O))) I've learnt a lot about sound pressure, resonance and feedback and how pleasurable it can be to bathe in physical soundwaves."
"and the low frequencies set off the fire alarms and sprinklers in the concert halls"
