Probably a semantic rabbit-hole but: IMO, only the artist can definitively say whether a work is experimental. To me it means I don't execute total control over the outcome, which I think is what you're talking about in your post. Or it means I started out not really knowing where it was going to go. But I think "experimental" as a label can't really be applied externally if we don't know what the artist's process was. We speculate that something sounds intentional or unintentional, or things like "uninspired", but only the artist knows for sure. I think when music critics or whatever call music "experimental" it means that objectively the artist seems to be exploring unexplored territory in some way, taking chances, or maybe it just sounds weird. But we don't actually know if the artist hasn't told us. And sometimes it ends up being the opposite of what we think. Maybe Autechre is "experimental" based on what Sean says about his being more interested in exploring unexpected things that happen than setting out to make specific things. That's an experimental process pretty much by definition. Then there's the whole Max component: how much is controlled and how much is not? (We don't know the specifics.) So you could also call that experimental in a way. On the other hand, by the time they're out performing the live sets, or finishing tracks for release, they have mastery over what they're doing. So for us to call Ae "experimental" kinda undercuts their mastery - it's evident in music of this calibre that these guys know what they're doing!

BlockUser Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Dublin was absolute killer! My prayers had been answered as I really wanted to hear more of second half London B, and that's how it started. They went all the way through with that London B stuff, and from then on, it was beats. BEATS, I tell you! So fecking good... The constant was that deep long tuned kick drum that you, yes, you, also love from London B. At around an hour they ramped up the tempo. I was seated up on one of the balconies, so I had a pretty good view of them and at some point near the end, S leaned over to R and they seemed to quickly agree on how they're gonna finish. Some few minutes after that, the beats broke off and this massive buzzing epic melody comes up, almost like a Trance build-up thing. First thought: "Oh yeah, there's a big drop coming". But then, another thought appeared: "They will never go for a cheap move like that". And they didn't. The melody was just cut off and the concert ended. I was laughing so hard. R+S did a funny! Think I saw both of them grin as they were packing up. I was too blown away to think of getting a shirt, when I made it to the stand, they had just been sold out. I highly recommend attending this gig, but it's in the past now. Edit: Who can tell me who that guy was that was playing as support? Sounded like NMB to me, or maybe someone else from Skam.

Mattthegoone Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 It was Minced Oath, Dunk Murphy he records under loads of different names, mainly Sunken Foal, his music is amazing, the volume was very low for his gig, a shame I thought Check out his other stuff on countersunk.org he has a new Sunken Foal album coming out next month on Frontend Synthetics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about Sunken Foal, but had no clue he had multiple monikers. Time to check him out more thoroughly. True about the volume, it really could+should have been louder.
