goddamn i almost forgot how good centres is. perfect dreary fall day for it.

this really deepens my appreciation for it, too: To the Centre of Centres with Ian William Craig

 

Centres is absolutely amazing.

 

need 2 sub

 

GUYS

Jóhann Jóhannsson's new album "Orphée" is now streaming on NPR's site; listen here:


It's fantastic; can't wait to see him live this fall

 

As for me so romantic music. Seems to me some of this songs Jesus is listening on heaven.

 

I didn't know he had a new album.

 

False Readings On is finally on Spotify!! will listen now, so excited

I had been binging on Susumu Yokota - such a beautiful discography - RIP

 

I was going to go to sleep, but I just started listening to Sea Island by Loscil for the first time and I can't turn it off.

 

I've never heard of Susumu Yokota. What would you recommend?

What'd you think of False Readings On? That last track is just incredible IMO.

 

start with Sakura

such unique ambient music, I think

I listened on the train but it was too noisey - I'll listen again tonight at home and will get back to you

 

have you heard his collabos with Destroyer?

 

I haven't! I'd only heard one of his albums before last night.

 

I decided to throw on some Basinski, since I've only ever listened to the Disintegration Loops (one of my favorite records of its kind). I'm listening to 92982, and just ten minutes it's already utterly mesmerizing. It somehow sounds even more organic than Disintegration - in fact, I can't recall hearing something that sounds this raw in some time - and the noises that creep in are lovely.

 

This is perfect. I need to give it the full treatment soon - headphones, hot tea (or bourbon, haha), candles/incense, dark room. Heh.

 

just finished the Eluvium record

awe is what I felt

I will elaborate throughout the week, but this feels like his best in a long minute - a sort of compendium of all things that make Eluvium magical

 

Basinski is the man

was at the MET the other day and hanged out in the hall where they played the DL live... felt like an important place heh

 

DL is probably the most important piece of music of the last 20 years...

yeah

EDIT: or pieces or work or whatevs

 

I don't know what that sound is from ~15:00-16:00 on 92982.4 but I find it extremely comforting. It almost sounds like a very distorted vacuum cleaner going over carpet. Heh. What's weird is that it's heard at various moments throughout the track but it sounds ominous to me every time except at the point I noted.

I really want to start experimenting with tape loops but I have no idea where to begin. I'd want to be able to record the effect to my computer.

 

peter silberman, frontman of The Antlers just released a solo ambient ep

 

ohhh myy gawwwd

The Caretaker releasing two-year, six LP sonic exploration of dementia (listen to the first)

 

Holy shit. What a fantastic idea for a series of records. Listening now and this is so beautiful its choking me up

 

its some haunting shit. i am terrified of my mind disintegrating into mush

 

Sounds intriguing. Can't wait to listen to it later this weekend.

 

its so good.

 

i have to imagine people aren't gonna like this list much
