no part of it

Excellent work from a veteran home taper.

The book had some pretty rapey stuff in there, curious how they sorted that out. Did they portray OZzy licking up urine off the ground, or was that too much of a lawsuit waiting to happen?

I recently watched the first season of West Wing, which is really out of character for me, only because I'm interested in screenwriting and Aaron Sorkin is pretty darn good at dialogue, among other things. It was one of the most plain and innocuous things I've ever watched. Like it's basically just intrigue for political junkies and people who are really into the finer points of legalese (and that could be me at times, but only to an extent). It's always kinda fascinating to see what becomes successful and to theorize about why. I generally go for more otherworldly storylines.

This is archival noise from 2003, just radios and vocals. I think it's some of her best.

Help yrselves to some bandcamp codes attached if yr so inclined... I have 5 copies of the black vinyl left for pre-order. Some heavy hitters doing experimental/ambient/noise/industrial I had been riding Daniel Burke for probably eight years about this release. For some time, it had been finished, and it was said that Z'ev had a label who was releasing it. It came to be that Z'ev had sent a lot of things to a lot of labels, and this one fell through the cracks somehow. Since then, of course, Z'ev has passed on (2017, R.I.P.), and Illusion of Safety had ceased operations (2014), at least under that moniker. Daniel Burke now operates under the name "Soundoferror", and has reinvigorated Illusion of Safety after a (nother) 7+ year hiatus, and a 30+ year long run and a rotating cast of talented contributors. Through this process of evolution, Illusion of Safety helped shape the various nondenominational movements within the annals of 1980s cassette culture, as well as industrial / experimental / noise / ambient music on the whole. This is to say, releases under the name "Illusion of Safety" have been scarce for some time, and it is never known how scarce they will continue to be. As for Z'ev, it's hard to imagine anyone reading this to fall short of knowing how immense his influence was. Active since the 70s, and highly instrumental in the development of metal percussion within the context of industrial, experimental, & noise music, and later to some extent, hardcore/gabber music, Z'ev created instruments out of discarded industrial materials, and that process evolved into structures that can be swung back and forth like marionettes, or in some cases were self-operable devices. Later on, he grew to embrace drone and ambient music in addition to continuing his works for percussion until his passing in 2017. What we have here is a potent cocktail of scrap metal, processed field recordings, modular synthesis, and plenty of aptly placed intermittent percussive clatter. The overall impression I'm left with is a very calculated sound collage that still feels like the sonic equivalent of a deep epiphany, or maybe a catalyst for one. What seems like a casual interweaving of a wide range of unexpected elements slowly becomes sewn together into a journey that makes perfect sense, but leaves the listener wanting more at the same time. Both of these intensely driven characters continued to evolve and change creatively over decades, into new and challenging directions, while others have come and gone, and still more continue to be one-trick-ponies. That Daniel Burke and Z'ev did collude during our short tenure on this earth is certainly a matter worthy of applause, and simply could not sit on the shelf any longer. The art for the jacket, labels, and insert is by Bradley Kokay, who does xerox collage work in real time, but sometimes also in public, in addition to other styles of art with gel transfers and things. The insert image is taken from an 8 foot collage created live.

Wicked cut up noise

Came here to say that! I interacted with her a little on instragram, being from Chicago, I grew up knowing her sister. RIP!

We were written up in Bandcamp Daily for the first LP. https://daily.bandcamp.com/best-experimental/the-best-experimental-music-on-bandcamp-september-2022

Sorry, but I just can't help it. My project Blood Rhythms was mentioned in bandcamp daily, and we have five more drone records out today. Thank you for your patience. This is vocal based material, and not minimalist at all. Hopefully someone will find that we are adding something to the genre. https://daily.bandcamp.com/best-experimental/the-best-experimental-music-on-bandcamp-september-2022

I am trying to find an easy and free way to make my own convolution reverb or impulse responses. I hav ridiculous ptsd and no patience at all. Looking for a way to implement this sound as VST convolution reverb through either Audition or Audacity, in a way that a hamster would understand, if possible. I have done this before, but have no recollection of what I did. Ready to kill.

This is an annual series of dark/ambient/experimental compilations, going for ten years now, although they skipped one year apparently. There are occasionally some very good quality netlabel releases.

29 tracks as part of a benefit compilation for Leslie Keffer who has epilepsy and has been denied disability for five years, including tracks by Otto Von Schirach, Skin Graft, Unicorn Hard-On, Studded Left (formerly Indian Jewelry), Laundry Room Squelchers, Fletcher Pratt, Sharkiface, and more. Leslie also has a new release, excellent ambient / vocal pieces. Some might know her from her activity in the 2000s, opening for Sonic Youth and playing other larger fests where experimental music and noise would still be embraced. She did mostly radio noise mixed with vocals, and apparently still uses radios in her work, although it's evolved to be more refined. This tribute is on a netlabel that also has a youtube channel called "This Machine Kills Music", with videos about industrial/noise. They have a recent video on Zero Kama, who first came to prominence on the Necrophile label. It's really thorough for anyone intrigued by music made with human bones and other ritualistic entrapments. Moon Musiq, the net label, has a tribute to Coil, a compilation dedicated to (and apparently in praise of) bugs, and this tribute to Throbbing Gristle. Well put-together all around.

"minimalists" Vocal Chants/Drones with Leslie Keffer

Does anyone know if there are any forums that discuss the intricacies of making drone music, or maybe a comprehensive Drone compendium beyond the basic La Monte Young et al wikipedia entries?

Temple ov Saturn navigates a lot of territories, but this one could be considered "loop-based ritual ambient" in a sense, although there are some beats involved. https://templeovsaturn.bandcamp.com/album/bride-of-the-sun

Might be my favorite of Key's non-Skinny Puppy releases.

I am curious if anyone knows a Drone forum that is fairly active? I like the idea of discussing the intricacies and execution of drone music with people who make it.
