György Ligeti - Edition (Collection)

hello again! just checking up, hiya! :)

just fyi, edition 7 does not feature the song below (continuum), i believe it is in 5, but the entire collection is totally worth finding. 

btw, edition 8 is la grand macabre, ligeti's insane opera about the events leading up to the apocalypse, and the inevitability of death. it features a car horn opening, a door bell solo, a debate between two political parties (black and white) which consists of only direct insults and immature gestures, and a hilarious piece in which a man dressed as the moon (he's the king/mayor) receives coded messages from the head of the secret service. did i mention almost the entire play is a serial 12-tone composition (perfectly atonal, mathematically speaking). find a recording of it if you can!

Sun Ra - Atlantis

i run on laser beams!

(sorry for the 2 month break, i am very good at procrastinating. just wanted you to know i'm still alive!)

Tomahawk - Anonymous

mike patton + traditional native american music = ???

incredibly bizarre but awesome, as is usual with mr. patton :D

Passenger Of Shit - 7

Cover Art (click at your own risk, NSFW!)

a beautiful mix of speedcore, breakcore, harsh noise, and pure, refined shit. the name fits well. the lyrics and musical style changes throughout the album immensely, and by the end of the album he is just screaming like he is in immense pain while sampling dirty rap, with heavy distortion on everything. i love it.

Audio Sample (again, NSFW, as it displays the cover art.)

Cyrusrex - all.ofmeHyde

(O_O；) 

sorry, no album tracks are available on the youtubes, so here is a video of the artist twiddling knobs live:

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times

thought this would make for a nice early-halloween post... seriously, don't listen to this album if you aren't ready to sell your soul to satan in exchange for listening to one of the craziest avant-death-metal groups that ever existed. enjoy >:D

p.s. take a look at the lyrics for some of the songs on this album for extra wtf-ness... here is the below song's lyrics.

Alva Noto - Univrs

alva noto is back for another glitchy, heavily processed data trip with his weirdo spoken-word-french-artist-guy. an obvious followup to the amazing unitxt, this album gets a bit further into noise territory than the previous one.

Pan Sonic - Kesto (234.48:4)

ogosh :o

Secret Mommy - The Mall

the new EP by sampler-extraordinaire, secret mommy. as the name suggests, all samples are taken from field recordings at a canadian shopping mall.

Kim Cascone - Blue Cube [ ]

the song below is not from this album, but i couldn't find any of the tracks from blue cube on youtube :(

Naked City - Radio

this album is an great introduction to the madness that is john zorn. it begins with some nice blues/jazz influenced tunes, slowly incorporating insanity into the music, to the point where you can actually almost bear the most extreme of naked city's music. note that this album is still extremely tough to grasp, as john zorn is not exactly a great intro to noise music; he is known to give even the most seasoned harsh avant-garde veteran a severe migraine... but still, this album is a classic, and if you can get past the blaring saxophone and painful free jazz improvisations, you will see the awesomeness that john zorn is. that said, beware the album "torture garden". not even joking. it will hurt your brain if you haven't heard at least this album first :o

Fennesz - Hotel Paral.lel

just checking in to say i am still here, just really busy... sorry, i should have called this site "noise every-once-in-a-while" :P

today is some neat ambient drone/glitch made with a guitar, field recordings, and post processing out the wazoo :D

Datach'i - Mmale and Ffemale

sorry for lazyness, but uhhh, i am lazy. yeah, so, glitchy break funtime over here, my brain is like a computer when i listen to this :D

Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica

this isn't so much a "suggestion" as a "requirement". seriously, if you don't listen to this album now, then leave this blog, fast and bulbous.

Mains de Givre - Esther Marie

very cinematic, droning, dramatic, awesome *-*

Access To Arasaka - Oppidan

some great glitch, in a vain similar to richard devine, mixing sound design with noise with harsh glitch music. very cinematic in sound, and high in production quality. many of the albums by this artist are free on his site, this album being one of the few exceptions. visit his site at www.accesstoarasaka.com, it is quite a neat site, too ^_^

Dolphins Into The Future - Ke Ala Ke Kua

if you loved the previous album, you will most likely love this one as well :D

its made up of three dreamy, hawaiian stylized, slightly noisy soundscapes with pretty drones and atmospheres, very peaceful, a bit less alien sounding than the previous album.

Bee Mask - Elegy For Beach Friday

if aliens wrote music, this is probably kind of what it would sound like... recently i've been getting into drone music, which is basically music that is not as much focused on melody or rhythm as it is on texture and dynamics, and i must say, this is a freaking good drone album, with tons of freaky alien soundscapes, so if you are into drone, you should definitely get this album. i like it so much, that i actually recommend buying it (i did, and ok, maybe thats just cause it was just released and wasn't on any big torrent sites yet, but whatever, it's still worth it). this album is a masterpiece :D

Don Caballero - American Don

haven't posted math rock for a while, so i thought this classic math rock album was in order. its instrumental, and not as intense as some other math rock i've posted, but it is rather different than the tapping + superfast drums combo that is somewhat popular among the math rock genre.

An Anthology Of Noise And Electronic Music - First A-Chronology

a bit odd for this post, as this is not a singular album, but a collection of albums, an anthology, of noise and electronic music. a must have for any lover of noise and experimental electronic music, this anthology (of 6 different parts, the first is the only one i feature here because, well, its the first) is a very complete set of works, detailing a very complete history of the evolution of experiments in electronic music and noise. many artists, from sonic youth, to john cage, to evolution control committee, all make an appearance in this collection. this collection is a great introduction to the vast world of the eclectic electronic (heh).
