Currently deep dive into the releases by Susumu Yokota.
It’s amazing how versatile and vivid all his releases are. I always thought “Sakura” is my personal high peak but then I heard his unreleased tracks in “Cloud Hidden” or his collaboration with the Band Rothko.

Beautiful album with also a fascinating process behind it:

[…] I decided to make this simple program that took all the stuff I had recorded and completely randomized it. Like, it takes tracks from one project and interjects them into another.

OK, so it really randomizes it.

Yeah, random speeds, random direction of playback starting at random points, and it loops at random points, so it doesn’t care about what its BPM or time signature is. It’s very crudely randomized. Then I made a shuffle button, basically, and it would shuffle. I was surprised at how much it actually sounded pretty good. So I just kept finessing that until I found some tracks that I thought were good. It just became kind of a radio for me during that time. I would record, just randomizing, for a while, and then take walks and see which ones sounded good.

Ambient/Post/Abstract techno-ish maybe?

Absolutely stunning. Everything he does.

But this … this rips my heart out.

He collaborated on this amazing record a few months ago:

These EPs from The Bug are equally full of heavyweight dubs, as one might expect:




I’ve also been enjoying the rather surprising Alan Sparhawk solo album promo, but I can’t share that with you all (sorry); just be prepared for something rather different to Low, even the last two albums, while being just as tangential to what listeners might expect from him.

All of his recent stuff, both the Machine series and the albums under his real name (Kevin Richard Martin) has been outstanding imho.

Amazing!

This too! Les Disques Bongo Joe are fast becoming one of my favourite labels…

Edit!

If you liked the Azerbaijani Gitara album, then you HAVE to watch this:

The clip that begins at 29:52… Wow!

“Crunchy 212 bpm bangers in 5/4 time, following the description given to Drew Daniel in his sleep, Hit Em is the most unlikely of new music trends…”

This is a collection of ambient works that I created between 2021 and 2022 for the purpose of self-treatment and healing (at the time I was trying to keep my sanity by recklessly weaving music, but looking back now, it seems that).

Lovely “ambient” with IDM-ish drums.

Why do I have the desire right now to demake Dawson’s Peasant with the TE medieval EP-1320?

Hahah, I say do it, that would make for a great concept album.

Tracks #1, #6 and #10 are mine if anyone wants to know any of the techniques. It was really fun to knock this stuff out within a week.

first the new(ish) sumac, which gets better on each listen

and then the equally heavy Moor Mother remix

and then topped off with some vintage 60s media about media
