Phil Durrant’s new album is just released. He uses improvised modular and diy instruments.

Also Vol 2 of his Bastard Science works by Richard Scott was released - he uses Hordijk and Buchla 200

I suddenly got an earworm with some added layers of equivocalness fitting the current state of debates.

:sparkles:

Love everything about this track. The arrangement, her voice, the drums, the bass running through it. So good.

Soupy sampled phrases droning, laced with emotional harmonic drapery. His name is what initially caught my eye. The quivering tonality is what caught my ear.

The music video for Pick Up is a nice little comment on the state of house music. It makes the whole song seem like an ironic - or maybe just intentionally self-conscious - effort.

Saw DJ Koze a few years ago after he dropped XTC (the song…:wink:). Truly a memorable set.

:joy: boys trying to shazam the tune

some nice moments throughout… episodes of churning water / wind / surf / rain (smeared, unknowable) … a variety of mysterious sound sources and juxtapositions. i’m a sucker for Pisaro’s sine wave chords, sometimes approximating the sound / warmth of a dial tone (briefly), other times plain / dull (or slightly piercing) - sustained tones augmenting other sounds

I just found that box in the record store - it is such a most lovely collection of sound & music. I like it when a new record really makes me happy.

:dizzy:

thanks for heads-up about this series, they’re all great! :slight_smile:

Lots of 70’s UK Psych Folk over the last few years, particularly The Incredible String Band and anything Clive Palmer has been involved in, particularly C.O.B. Really lovely stuff. Recently also been enjoying lots of Bossa Nova, Billie Eilish and Pearls Before Swine.

I like a lot of that stuff too! Here are a couple of mainly Folk based mixes I did on Mixcloud the last few years:

I hear her album drifting around the house all the time - and cannot stand it. It sounds like an even more miserable Portishead.

I like a couple of the tracks but prefer the EP from a while back of all her earlier stuff.

rediscovered this track just now,

exploring the “archive” is sometimes just as interesting as finding “new” stuff…

That actually got me interested, but the couple of songs I previewed just don’t make that connection for me.
