He’s free to release as much as he wants of course but somebody needs to sift through it all for the best bits and it isn’t going to be me.

I think its a bit of a fools errand trying to compile a best of because there arent really any obvious standout tracks, or stinkers for that matter. And each series of albums has a very interrelated sound palate and removing a track from its context does it a disservice.

The compilations on Clone are great and Im glad we got them (and hope for more) but I would argue that theyre not particularly any stronger than any other randomly selected album hes put out over the last 10 years.

I've listened to Midnight Sun 2A and Midnight Sun 6 loads.
Really good albums for programming or working to.

I've dipped into the odd other Aleksi album from the last two years but nothing quite latched on like those two.

Last year I found this, which was interesting:

These guys (they make lifts, appropriately enough) awarded him a grant:

Machine translated from finnish:

Composing and producing electronic music based on colundi frequencies

I create my own tuning systems based on colundi frequencies and make them using new music. Colundi is the name for a series of frequencies based on the beneficial effects of sound on the human body and mind. The frequency at which the sound vibrates is primary. Colundi frequencies are not playable on known scales. Colundi consists of 128 different frequencies, located unevenly in the 10.8 Hz–12,000 Hz frequency range. Every interval and octave is different. Because of this, I have concluded that the most effective way of working is to make different tuning systems from these frequencies and use them as a basis for composing. I have been using pure sine waves in my music for the past 20 years. In this project I plan to use them to model physical instruments and materials. First, I analyze the sound I've chosen using Fourier analysis, a visual equalizer and my tuning ear. I calculate the ratios of the sine waves in the sound and their averages. Then I digitally build the sound of my chosen instrument part by part using colundi frequencies based on my tuning systems. I have found that the sounds of indigenous percussion instruments are best suited for this, as their upper notes are not harmonic in the usual way. Examples of these include the lithophone, tingklik, kyezee, bianqing, pyeongyeong, qing, Chinese two-tone bells, the bronze drum of the Karen people, African percussion instruments, Indian tablas and the Balinese gamelan instruments jegogan, calung, penyacah, ugal, pemade, kantilan, trompong and reyong. In my self-built home studio, I use a computer, samplers, synthesizers, drum machines and effects devices as tools. I feel that colundi frequencies have pure and endless power.

 

So when you hear bells and marimbas and whatnot on these recent releases, it seems that Aleksi has used Fourier analysis to re-build the sound of the instrument using only colundi frequencies.

Perhaps we should think of the album release schedule as being somewhat like a subscription.

Last dipped in around the Cycles series, some of which was actually pretty decent. This sounds pretty half-arsed though.

[beerwolf]

Lol I went through his whole back catalogue (well selected 4 or 5 tracks off every album) a few months ago and probably have another dozen albums to get through. Bonkers. But surprisingly the decent stuff is very decent indeed. This man keeps his listeners on their toes that's for sure.

[decibal cooper]

been listening too some of his music from last few years, some trippy stuff

 

[Key]

He is gonna run out of words in the English language to title these records before he runs out of music.

I eagerly await 2047's Colundi:Turnip series

A digital copy of this would be nice. UK74R1721015
