Alan Lamb - 'Night Passage'

A dude who taped
a bunch of mics
to a bunch of
telegraph wires
in the outback
an' recorded the sound
of the winds strummin' them.
 
Not Waving

Today I went for a walk
to scatter some ashes
in the sea

and listened to
Jim Morrison's recording of
The Lords & The New Creatures.

I've been on a Doors tip over the weekend.

Also today:

Krill.Minima - Nautica
(wonderfully water-based ambient dub)

9 Lazy 9 - Paradise Blown
(jazz-based poolside ninja tune beats)

Gavin Bryars + Alter Ego + Phillip Jeck - The Sinking Of The Titanic
("Recorded live at the 49th International Festival of Contemporary Music at The Venice Biennale on 1st October 2005 at the Teatro Malibran.

Philip Jeck, minimalist turntablist (couldn't resist), along with the ensemble of Alter Ego and Bryars himself on bass, deconstruct and reconstruct Gavin Bryars' classic piece.

"While former versions have certainly done the piece justice, the addition of the Alter Ego ensemble and turntabilist Philip Jeck heighten the piece’s focus on its main obsession: the metaphorical failure of modern technology to trump nature.

Fixated on the myth that the sinking Titanic's chamber group played on until the very last possible moment, Bryars has Alter Ego weaving lines of the heart-wrenching Episcopalian hymn “Autumn” underneath an oscillating veil of electronic noise from Jeck...

The exploration of water’s effect on sound and reverberation is also impeccably framed by the interspersed tape loops of morse code, crickets, and crowd noise....")

KLF - Chill Out
(classic washy found-sound album)

Vidna Obmana - Soundtrack For The Aquarium
(ambient that sounds like it sounds like^)

A couple o' those
for the thirst time.

PEACE

... Elvis! ... Always on my mind.

I'm not a big fan ... but this song I really digg.
 
Chemical Brothers - Under the Influence



This song is best played loud, in a stereo with tonnes of bass. It's used as a bass test for car stereos :)

Respeck, Gavin Bryars is the master of syrupy strings.

He's very good hey.

I only discovered him through Phillip Jeck,
whose a mad type of minimal turntable artist,
not your regular-type DJ or mixologist
or even scratchamalogical waxploitationist...

...because we all like copypasta...

"As a disc jockey, his manipulations are far from the mad scratchathons of hip hop; and the textures he conjures forth are also much more than the dreary post-industrial landscapes to which one might be tempted to relate his aesthetic. Instead they are reminiscent of the crepuscular quietscape of Rapoon or the dub minimalism of the Chain Reaction collective.

And yet Jeck creates so much more, too. As the apparatus are old and tired, they are apt to falter, and the records, scratched and dirtied by the years, are prone to wobble. All of which is incorporated into the soundscape on equal footing with the music contained within. Jeck can create a rhythmic loop of the dense scratches on an old LP that is sensual and tactile, downright physically appealing.

On Vinyl Coda, a number of records are set going in loops (created by tampering with the discs themselves with exacto knives, glue or tape), whereafter Jeck seemingly leans back and listens to the sound unfold before judiciously overlaying another loop on another machine, or inserting a vocal or instrumental sample on still another...

No digital technology helps him - his only effects are an old reverb, a guitar delay pedal and the fingers with which he twiddles the dials of the record players. On all three pieces (roughly twenty, forty and sixty minutes long, respectively), the results are absolutely hypnotic."

It takes patience and good hedphonez
but is hypnotic + rewarding.

Phillip Jeck - Surf
One Part

Nice, I love Soulwax. Saw them live at bdo '06 when they played as the band, which I think they're touring as again for this years Parklife. Also seen a Nite Versions set at another festival, can't remember which one. The Nite Version for 'Krack' is sick, gonna play it now :)

Soulwax - Krack (Nite Version)
 
^ They are good hey! I had listened to a 2manyDJ's CD I had over and over and then decided to investigate further and turns out the Soulwax sessions are just as awesome. Great find :)


Giving a new Aussie Hip Hop album a spin at the moment...

Skryptcha - The Numbers

Good so far 3 tracks in....
 
I'm really getting back into System of A Down. particularly the album 'Hypnotise/Mesmerise'. Can't stop listening to it.

i have been off hard rock/metal for a number of years and have recently gone back through my old music to give it a listen. System of A Down has been the only group that has really piqued my interest again.
