Re: Dream gear and future innovations

No more cables. Wireless power. Widespread use/integration of parametric (ultrasonic) speakers.

Re: Kosmiche Noise

I would include my most recent release "1100 dB" in this category, at least thematically. Very much inspired by the approach of early electronic soundtracks / sound effects, as well as Schulze / TD / Heldon etc. For me it's hard to say how much of that actually bleeds through into the soun...

Re: Jazz/subgenres

Fuck, what a fantastic title for a Jazz record. The crazy thing is, that title perfectly describes the feeling of this album! Do you collect Jazz records or usually just stick to listening online? I couldn't help but do a double take on some of the prices his records are fetching on the ol' Discogs...

Re: Jazz/subgenres

I've been trying to get into more Sun Ra lately, but the discography is just so vast, I kind of don't know where to start. He's the Pain Jerk of the Jazz world I find. My go-to has always been 1979's Sleeping Beauty , but I am also known to throw on stuff like Atlantis when I am in a weird and fran...

Re: Noise from Beyond the West

Abu Lahab (Morroco) What can I say about Abu Lahab... A total engima. I know almost nothing about this individual, yet I worry for his well being. Though something tells me this person has actual power. Find what you can by him and dive in. All of his releases are unique, and I've yet to find my wa...

Re: Noise from Beyond the West

Not noise is the strictest sense, But some good stuff here from Iran. https://opaltapes.com/album/emergent-errors Shahin! I shared a bill with him (in his other duo project Temp-Illusion) in Russia last year. Really immersive stuff. Also gotta shout out the maestro, Sote. All of his albums are wort...

Re: Noise from Beyond the West

Rampokan by Raja Kirik https://nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/rampokan this is great. Sounds like what Cut Hands is trying to sound like. Don't know if this is more "beat shit" than "noise" but you can beat me up in the alley. YES. Big up to Nyege Nyege, they are doing god's...

Re: Noise from Beyond the West

Maybe we are de-mystifying too much mysteries here on this forum but African Imperial Wizard is as much African as Muslimgauze is from the middle-east. However great the music is I think the project is done in poor taste. If you want mysteries my friend, there are infinite mysteries in this world, ...

Re: Third World Noise

African Imperial Wizard is pretty great. You’re going to get in trouble for that thread title BTW. That's nitpicking, but anyway I changed the title from "Third World Noise" to "Noise from beyond the West". Honestly not even sure if that's any better. All blanket terms meant to ...

Noise from Beyond the West

On Extreme Music from Africa William Bennett didn't want to do the legwork, so he just invented what he wished he could find. But that doesn't mean there wasn't anything to find. Let's share some brilliant noise from unlikely places: Africa, Middle East, Asia, Central & South America, etc. We mi...

Re: Jazz/subgenres

Makes total sense. I'm sure many people found their way in via the weirder edges of Jazz. Since I first became aware of Sun Ra it was ALWAYS something I saw held up as essential listening among many different groups of music lovers. Straight up jazz fiends, eclectic collectors of all and everything...

The new Krallice album, Crystalline Exhaustion, is beyond the beyond. Highly recommended if you're seeking 51 minutes of blissful discombobulation.

Re: Classical

I'm completely obsessed with Stravinsky's music, and lately have been revisiting his Orpheus ballet. Some truly astounding ambient moments. Lots of tension/release and evocative melodrama on this one.

Re: Introduce yourself

I had no idea there was noise in Egypt. You have my interest... You'd think there would be more as it's the 3rd largest city in Africa. Unfortunately, nowadays it's predominately a regressive (and fascistic) monoculture that has no room for taboo smashing / disruptive art of any kind... But there a...
