What is the name of this genre (DSP ambient / Glitch haunt / SpookyDM / 34th century Pop / Robostep / Spaceshipcore ?)

[mcbpete]

So yeah, what is the subgenre of music that these tracks would fall under. I'd like to say 'noise', but they're more ambienty than what I would consider to be the noise genre - where the space between the noises is just as important as the actual glitchy-ness:

Plus any leaders in the field of this sort of stuff ? I love this stuff so really want to hear more !

[FinePrimitiveSounds]

Love your suggested genre titles too much, I'll opt for DSP Ambient, with runner-up prize going to 34th Century Pop/Spashipcore.

[Guest liquiday]

1. glitch

2. industrial ambient

3. modern musique concrete (nope it's not)

[Silent Member]

Yeah, looks like glitch to me. I remember there being a subgenre called microsound a couple of years back that was kind of similar. The 12k label has some nice stuff.

 

Ehm, maybe I should have listened first. Mille plateux label, as well as some of the stuff on Touch should probably be a nice fit. I really shouldn't be doing this from my phone, no can do double check. Memory is failing me.

Here's some spaceshipcore.

Thanks so much for this post, btw, I love Shapeshifter's album, woudn't have discovered it without this thread. What ever became of Malc?

[mcbpete]

I'd love to know too - I even messaged Richard Devine to see if he knew but to no avail. Wonder if he's doing sound design work nowadays rather than necessarily albums.

[chim]

That Shapeshifter album is ridiculously good, thanks for linking.

[FinePrimitiveSounds]

Its super cheap on discogs, can't go wrong.

Datach'i does some stuff like that. Most of his tracks have fast and furious beats however

[mcbpete]

Aye, that's the thing - the genre always seems to be synonymous with high tempo shenanigans, there doesn't really seem to be that much that has that wild digital sound design but more 'ambient' in nature / tempo

[purlieu]

'Experimental' innit.

ETALabel is a great label for some weird glitchy stuff (as well as more traditional ambient, modern classical etc)

Feel like I know more stuff that isn't 'Bine', maybe I'll come back when my brain works...

[fenton]

The Noisia OST for Devil May Cry is good for this flex.

 

 

Sometimes goes into more frantic territory but a lot of the tracks are just DSP ambient.

I do quite like the sound of them both but don't think that really fits the stuff I'm looking for in this instance. That's pretty much granular synthesised ambient a la things on the Ghostly label - this stuff is more like an explosion of a network of computers being sucked into and spat out of a black hole.

 

There was a DVD that I totally forgot about, that totally fits this sort of thing:

Is Shapeshifter mostly MaxDSP made?

[mcbpete]

Otto Von Schirach's B.C. 8000

 

That's actually really close. I think the only thing that separates that from the example videos is the sense of space. Like 'noise' artists they sound kinda flat or two-dimensional, whereas there seems to be a sense of depth and space (and range in dynamics from wall-of-sound to long moments of near silence) in something like Shapeshifter's work

 

As for Max usage - quite possibly for the sound generation, but no doubt it gets sequenced and chopped up later in a traditional daw. Max is a bit of a pain for sequencing and then editing long form stuff.

[Guest]

mmm that shapeshifter is cool. reminds me of some of the mike dred stuff. you should check out some dave noyze too

 

boring but what about IAM? intelligent ambient music

[mcbpete]

Has [Florian] Hecker ever done any ambient style stuff - seems like he might do something similar to the above if slightly more stripped back (and plays with reverb)

was just checking shapeshifters website and he described that album as 'electroacoustic soundscapes & rhythms'

or 'sonic architecture'
