This might be an odd one but there are some reeeeally satisfying samples to be found from laser engraving videos.

“utterly fresh”, I don’t know. I recently got a Monotribe and I’m amazed how good (Berlin school) sequences from it sound going through my Obscura Delay pedal and the Oto Bam Reverb. Totally exciting!

The entire output of Autechre. But more recently, the subtle shifting timbres in things like this:

For my own stuff, I’m in love with Soma Ether :yellow_heart:

Yeah, with noise, taking “taboo” topics as inspiration, responses or aesthetic is a little cliché. I’ve mostly paid no mind, since i like the sound so much. Though I will mention that the fetishistic and misogynistic themes sit much better with me than the questionable alt right nationalist stuff, which there is a lot of lmao. Not to say i support either, just that being exposed to all that stuff kinda dulls the weirdness of people making music about sharks and feet hahaha.

With Sam I think, it’s more taking the things he’s obsessed with and creating something out of it that might recapture/represent his hyper-focused attitudes. There is a very interesting documentary on his process and where it all comes from, if you’re interested:

As for the music itself, are you more into cut up noise stuff, like the recent Skin Graft/John Weise (amazing release btw https://helicopter.bandcamp.com/album/accessible-world )? Or more ambient tape looping stuff like Dilloway, or power electronics, or repetitive harsh loop stuff, or more instrumental things like hijokaidan/gerogerigegege,…?
Just curious about what aspects you might already enjoy in the genre :slight_smile:

I feel like not a lot new has really grabbed me of late, so I’m always up for suggestions of weird and inventive musics. But there is still plenty to get me sonically involved over the last few years, and I’m always happy to share stuff;

for example a lot of what’s coming out of Ilian Tape, for techno and breaks.

Five years on and Third Law by Roly Porter still gets me really excited everytime I listen to it. Powerful and deep electronics

The NWW list compilations on Finders Keepers, have been a real treat. A lot of new stuff to my ears and scratches that Prog/Rock In Opposition itch I get.

Good Jazz always gets me. There’s a lot of good stuff coming out of London right now. This is an excellent Ill Considered side project, that I hope to catch live when things are more settled.

And kit wise, everytime I plug in my Strega it makes me think differently about my music, and its processes and gestures.

There’s much noise to love on the new Low album ‘Hey What’. Sidechained craziness…

Seeing Julianna Barwick live while touring Magic Place was just awe inspiring for me personally. Tons of amazing sounds in her work but Prizewinning is a track that initially captured my ears. The vocals, the building drums etc. all awesome

Went to a grindcore gig the other day and remembered how much I like pingy snares

this one is kinda unusual but: when you’re listening to a song on open back headphones and other sounds around you kinda fit into the music but not exactly. Not when something outside seems like it’s part of the track, but when you can tell something isn’t part of the music but it almost fits with it as well.

have been loving exactly this. I’ve been listening to a lot of catherine lamb’s work and it’s something she explores explicitly.

Off the top of my head:

  • extended saxophone techniques
  • pinged filters
  • anything a Music Easel can create
  • bird song
  • that explosion of sound about fifty seconds into “Day of the Baphomets” by The Mars Volta

i really like jewel sounds, crystal sounds, “glass-like” and “chime-like” synth sounds… one of the albums i’ve really been liking lately is Peach, by Shanti Celeste: https://shanticeleste.bandcamp.com/track/aqua-block

also really like Visible Cloaks, there’s a lot of really “clean” and interesting sounds on the Lex and Reassemblage albums, i love that sorta stuff.

and this is also an intro post for me i guess, my first post. hello everyone!

I’ve posted this in another thread already, but whenever I’m reading through this thread I remember how groundbreaking it was for me to listen to Aho Ssan’s “Simulacrum” album for the first time. It’s a rather recent release (2020) and a use of granular synthesis I haven’t heard before in this intricacy and musicality:

Also, hi and welcome @june :wave: Visible Cloaks is great and I can totally relate, I also really love those glassy FM sounds lately!

The delightful season for these is upon us on the Northern hemisphere: Nose noises 🐽. The sinusoidal¹ resonations inside my face. Completely fascinated (faceinated) by them.

I just love the modulated strings that start at 1:03, together with the muted guitar in the background. It’s very common instruments but modulated in a way, which sounded so interesting to me.

This is such a great thread.
It’s ticking a whole buuunch of brain-tickling boxes at the moment, but this track is absolutely phenomenal: ALchinBond + Ifs - FUKURAMASiCO | V/A | outlines (bandcamp.com)

I’ve been in love with The Lighthouse since seeing it last year, and the sound of the foghorn used throughout the movie will get stuck in my head for days on end.
