there are things i dont like about this - the lyrics are seriously eh and i feel it's just a little too disjointed for its own good at times - but theres something about the CIM brand of pop-prog that just has a kind of... exuberance to it that i find irresistible. i'll be listening to the new album when it comes out, i know that.
Actually, the noisier end of industrial and the dronier, chillier side of ambient have a weirdly close relationship: Final, Mirror, Coil circa Time Machines, early Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire...
I really wish that I could make music like early COH and other glitch/noise-ambient/isolationist/lowercase-ish people of the Raster-Noton school. It's just so beautiful and strange and sonically perfect. I want to know how to make music like that and bring it into my own style and make something new and wonderful like that.
if you want to know how to make raster noton noises it's mostly white noise and sine waves with weird, unnatural sounding envelope shenanigans and filtering, with minimal additional processing
i could teach you, though i'm not good at sequencing the noises themselves in the sort of way that they work in if that makes any sense
You could tell me so that I could try my hand at it when I get Logic Pro set up I can actually do those things. Heck, you could teach me by showing me right there!
probably nobody cares about tmv offcuts but me but i find it bizarre that this didnt make noctourniquet, given that it is better than every other song on that album, just about
actually maybe if they had put it in omar would have drowned it in 500 synths and it would have lost some of its magic
my knowledge of modern composers is still rather woeful, but at least for today I managed to discover the coolness of Conlon Nancarrow and Brian Ferneyhough

Some stuff from the John Zorn/Thurston Moore album "a" that I previously mentioned is up on youtube. Definitely worth checking out.

It's not on youtube otherwise I'd link it.
for the uninitiated:
did you know, for instance, that Lull used to play drums for Machine Head? now you do
there's another fairly famous drummer/ambientperson and i cant for the life of me remember who it is

i am listening to this catchy pop-punk album solely because of the cover. it is fun and I like the vocalist a lot.
