"April 25th in Italy is Liberation Day, celebrating the victory of the resistance against Nazi Germany and Italian fascists, marking the end of occupation and the civil war." #resistance

"This album connects the dots between his drone and abstract dub influenced work and his sample-based work. It's an interesting overview of Ielasi's diverse musical path." #experimental #electronic

"The music slowly builds, layering lyrical melodies and flowing arpeggios into unsettling, gradually changing harmonies. Its rich texture, with subtle shifts in modulation and phase, evokes Costin Miereanu's Derives or kosmische Musik, feeling more organic than a typical synthesizer study." #ambient

"Música Aperta is a fusion of acoustic and electronic sounds, rich in beautiful harmonies, where carefully soft elements interplay with delicate raspiness." #ambient #experimental #electroacoustic

"Everything that has to do with geography, sound itself has to do with geography; especially modern sounds, the sounds of the magnetic age, have to do with space, and space is understood by us in terms of geography." #artrock #experimental #masterpiece #david-thomas

RIP David Thomas aka (in the early days) Crocus Behemoth: those first four Pere Ubu singles were stunning in 1975-1977 (post punk before punk) leading up the The Modern Dance and Dub Housing. Born 1953, I salute you fellow Snake

RIP Alan Lamb

"Each piece focuses on certain characteristics of the piano’s sound so tightly, that it seems as if it was all the instrument was designed to do. Each Monochrome is a small world. Over the course of the three hours the series lasts, we travel across a system of fifteen planets." #contemporary #piano

"The title is a famous utterance of the Oracle of Delphi, a cult of female priestesses who would inhale the poisonous vapors of nearby volcanic vents to induce mystical visions for their seekers, often changing the course of civilization." #experimental #electroacoustic

“What we perceive as an error or mistake could very well be a message coming through. And while we are not able to decipher the message, sometimes – just like from a crack in a surface, or a tear in fabric – a light unexpectedly seeps through.” #electronic #experimental

"Metabolismus is not just a band. Somehow it's the idea of musical substructure- exploration in time and space and demise and bloom." #experimental #kraut #improvisation

"Their melodies tumbled and intertwined into masses that seemed to shapeshift and morph with every strum. There was no inertia - only motion, forward." #experimental #ambient

"masterfully reimagines and mesmerises with his trademark sounds of vibraphone, and resumes his experimentation with the marimba and synthesisers" #ambient #experimental

"This machine approach to Endling was the perfect compliment to its orchestral predecessor, it felt like a different kind of orchestra from this album’s future – with the organic consuming and transmuting the artificial." #ambient #experimental #electronic

"The word ‘murmuration’ denotes the phenomenon of multitudes of birds in collective movement, creating amorphous, ever changing shapes in the sky." #experimental #ambient #just-intonation

"All possible processes. All channels open. Twenty-four hour alert." #artrock #experimental #masterpiece

"When you are able to make an engaging and deeply textured composition out of the various stages of a crushed Coke can, the idea of structuring an entire album from noises related to, and made by, food probably seems a perfectly natural progression." #electro #experimental #CDFriday

"Gastr del Sol’s musical universe is filled with juxtapositions, with the more or less peaceful coexistence between written and improvised parts, instrumental and vocal sequences, and acoustic and electronic manipulations." #experimental #art-rock #avantgarde

"The effect is disorientating, beguiling, and utterly addictive, a hybrid of math rock and free improvisation which combines the melodic interplay of the former with the texture-focused latter. I've laughed and cried to this album, as trite as that feels." #experimental #free #improvisation

"In Radu Malfatti's music nothing special happens.That is a distinct quality." #contemporary #minimalism

"even the less prepared listener will find in the expansive, sometimes threatening, sometimes lulling lands elaborated by the two, more than one reason for interest." #contemporary #experimental

"Every sound emerges in interaction with the silence that precedes and follows it. Yet even in supposed silence, something remains audible—a faint murmur, a subtle vibration, an echo of the surroundings." #electroacoustic #experimental

"from frightful string tintinnabulation down concrète wormholes to tracts of glacial stasis and belly-churning dread, sustained dissonance and massed, keening orchestration that introduces fractious percussive themes and outlandish electronics." #contemporary #electroacoustic #experimental

"the subject of music is the pervasive noise of the world and that its form is cut out from this infinite diversity is perhaps surprising for a sounding result that is permanently on the verge of disappearing." #contemporary #experimental

"Have you, or has anyone ever used your music for political or social ends?" #interesting-reading #experimental-music #politics

"Small noises dart and squirt like single cell organisms in a rich soup of drones while the percussive chatter of heavy atoms continually frays and burrs the aural landscape." #experimental #electronic #soundart

"During the 1980’s, Bennett began to experiment with newly available home recording technology and electronics, he began pairing performances of his poems with improvised music and vocal processing to create immersive sound worlds for his surreal explorations of the mundane." #soundart #experimental

"When played on ordinary audio equipment, the recorded air pressure fluctuations (technically named infrasound) are reproduced at 360 times the original speed, and thus can be perceived by our ears as sounds." #soundart #experimental

"Adams’s appropriation of minimalist procedure is infused with traditional harmonic procedure, his invocation of 19th century tonal rhetoric seems typically postmodern in its viewing of the past ‘as an aspect of the present’." #minimalism #contemporary #masterpiece

"James Tenney (1934-2006) was probably the first composer to develop an aesthetic for computer music, realizing that electronic music almost forced the composer to accept noise as music and to abandon the idea of absolute control over a composition." #computer-music #electronic #masterpiece

"The flow of the ‘here’ and the ‘now’ guides me." #experimental #electronic

"The entire landscape shimmers with the collective sound of this multitude of distinct pitches. Although quiet, the mass crowds the audible frequency range.It is a nearly infinite harmony, in which individual chords are perceivable when one approaches any of the bubbles more closely." #contemporary

"Sound Mind Sound Body decrees the massive impact of discreet gestures; slow-moving tones and spacious orchestral resonances, drifting and droning with glacial majesty, hardly recognizable as guitar much of the time" #ambient #minimalism

"While challenging and pushing himself into uncharted territories, McCraven quintessentially expresses his unique gifts for collapsing space and transcending borders – blending past, present, and future into elegant, poly-textural arrangements of jazz-rooted, post-genre 21st century folk music."

“among the most formidable denizens of the in-between zone… An extraordinary talent who can see across the entire musical landscape.” #contemporary #experimental

"Like a giant body or ecosystem slowly breathing, Rewild’s constantly transforming sound-world orients temporal perception toward global listening." #contemporary #experimental

"There is the unspoken tension in this work between regular and aperiodic, solid and vague, artificial and organic, order and sprawl." #contemporary #experimental

"This was Cage's first composition using Hindu philosophy as a basis, and he composed the Sonatas and Interludes in a period of time during which he was reading extensively the works of the Indian art historian and critic Ananda K. Coomaraswamy." #contemporary #masterpiece

"In his evening performances, preceded by long phases of composition and theme development, he explores the potential of theatre and music to mutually open up new spaces. His attention to detail brings a poetic, ambiguous microcosm to life." #contemporary

"From these elements emerges a deeply evocative narrative, capable of interpolating the oriental inclination for the essential and the Nordic search for enchantment to make them flow into a comfortable oasis of sound in which to take refuge to escape a restless present." #minimalism #ambient

"Pruski creates unique sound installations based on the creative processing of various stimuli using sensors and detectors, forming interactive installations where the audience often becomes an integral part of the experience." #experimental #ambient #book
