Ten minutes of #weird, shifting drum-machine rhythms, splashes of noise and atonal #soundscape full of scrapes and whines. Has an unsettled and unsettling vibe that would almost work as an avant garde horror score. Definitely not for everyone, but I think the people who are going to appreciate it are already convinced to give it a try, so what else can I say?
anharmonic rapture of broken proportions, physiographic decomposing digital synapses back firing into a regurgitating 8 bit circuit board of misstrung 1 and 0's.
It's a glitchy, experimental trio for flute, clarinet, and MIDI keyboard/Max. There are Morse code and other ham radio samples, electric piano, and bowed cardboard box, and it's surprisingly groovy.
I started out on the fediverse arooooound...I wanna say 2017/18 mebbe? My big start in social media was MySpace. Before that, I had a LiveJournal (which I miss mightily with all my heart). My very first computer was a Gateway PC, back when they shipped them to you in those awesome cow spot pattern boxes. I am trying to de-google my life.
I'm #ADHD and suffer from #dysthymia. I'm currently unmedicated. I can be damned moody at times, so there's your warning.
Religiously/spiritually speaking, I'm complicated. That will be a long post, when I get around to writing it. My general rule is: I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, and that's cool. Not everybody's thing is my thing, and that's cool. Just don't be a wanker towards those whose thing ain't your thing. OM 🕉
I'm 57 years old and have come to the conclusion that we never truly appreciate the decades we grew up in until we hit middle age.
I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.
Sunday #Spliff Day! After you enjoy your cannabis, consider enjoying these spacey #drones, wild sounds and esoteric compositions made with tape machines, modular synths, and other weird #gear
New blog post — I have a track coming out April 12! it's on a new album by the electroacoustic trio Apply Triangle with works by 33 composers, and it was recorded remotely during lockdown.
I talk about collecting amateur radio samples to use in the piece, the album project, and there's even a poem.
Well, since I still appear to be on Masto today, here's another #3GoodThings.
I wrote three poems today which weren't half bad. Good start to my National Poetry Month challenge (a day late but three poems means I'm still ahead...for now)
This is the eighteenth and final studio album by Jon Hassell. It was released on his own record label, Ndeya, on July 24, 2020 and is a companion piece to his previous release Listening to Pictures.
Y'all, I'm selling my Gentle Wham percussion synth. Just put it up on Reverb. Here's the listing in case you might be interested. It's in mint condition. 🙂 https://rvrb.io/2020-present-gentl-q743r5
Ordinarily, I like the idea of not being able to save your patches on instruments which give you no way of doing so. That encourages you to exercise your memory to recall a patch, and also to embrace something new. But occassionally, I come up with something which makes me yearn for a way to hold onto it. Taking a pic of the config is all I can do.
As there is a new aboombong album of #music out soon, I am revisiting previous releases.
After the success of collaboration on articulations, I decided to continue the trend with the 9th aboombong album, AGNOSIS. This time I reached out to a friend I met while working on my PHD., Lana Van Boven, a trained #opera singer, her husband Brian Shaw (#flugalhorn), who is a music professor, and an old bandmate, David Liso, who I have been in several bands with. Pulling from ancient texts/music, deconstructing them, and the rebuilding them, AGNOSIS ended up exploring the connection between classical traditions and modern music. A rewarding project. #4thWorld#ambient#piano#choral#experimentalMusic#bandcamp
Massive sound of slow, noisy, intense instrumental doom from Austria that crushes and pulverizes what is left of your soul while it melts the cartlidge from within your ear holes.
