I'm rereading some Lovecraft while waiting for a Thomas Ligotti anthology to arrive.

https://braneunderscore.bandcamp.com/album/1 Been working with synths and machines again for the first time in a while, and this is the first thing I've produced which felt cohesive and release-worthy. Would welcome any feedback.

Currently reading Steve Hanley's book The Big Midweek about his time in The Fall. Good stuff for the genre. Otherwise, rereading Derek Bailey's book on Improvisation.

I haven't watched the most recent Twin Peaks series for some time, but what stays with me most is the scene with Ed in the diner when he finally, once and for all, gets the girl. It's one of the most wonderful and romantic scenes I've ever seen.

*Post your Soundcloud/Bandcamp*
thejewk replied to cruising for burgers's topic in EKT General Discussion
My soundcloud I set up for easy sharing of the stuff I made for Jamuary. Quite pleased with Tighter, a minimal techno hardware effort I made yesterday for the last day. -
I've been really enjoying these sets, as well as the other things like the Stay at Home collaborations on the Stoor channel. A real range of different sounds and textures.

Not heard this guy's stuff before, beyond what he did on the early Napalm Death records. Some good stuff, going for a deep dive.

I have a Project Audio one which does the job nicely and wasn't too pricey.
-
Thanks for the tip, grabbing it now
-
Great interview, and I found out about No Place Like Drone too which is quite enjoyable. Been listening all afternoon.
-
I may have missed something, so disregard if so, but Henry Cow are not in any way hard rock or metal. Their stuff is superb, especially their first album and the live album with Robert Wyatt.

A perfectly legitimate approach for sure, and a lot of music in my collection was clearly written that way, just not something that appeals to me creatively.
-
As in: "I am going to make a song that reflects the feeling of loss"? No, never. I might discover that half way through though. It's just never a conscious decision at the outset, and it's never as reductive.
-
All music, whether I'm listening or making, elicits some sort of emotional response. The variance comes from what that emotion is, and whether it is desirable or not. Intuition as a listener? I don't really see it as a relevant factor. As a creator? Curiosity and play, both are inextricably tied to intuition.
-
I don't know where one ends and the other begins. I suppose curiosity and play are the things that mostly drive me to produce and listen, and I find experimentalism for its own sake has value as a part of the process. The experimental approaches increase my curiosity, which leads to experimentation, etc. Ultimately I don't think it's a coherent question.
