scott Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hello WATMM, i have very recently started compiling a list of sculptural/ mainly resonance based releases-the criteria is generally : sculptural/installations/natural/obscure instruments- Artists like Harry Bertoia, Harry Partch, Ellen Fullman, Hans Reichel, Alan lamb, Yosi Wada, Pinuccio Sciola etc etc. I'm trying to avoid tape manipulated /synthesised/ spoken word as theres plenty lists around for such work on discogs. its something I'm deeply interested in - any additions are welcome as theres definitely big holes in the list, I'm finding its even missing music i own! my memory just insint what it used to or should be. i initially started compiling it for my own reference/collecting however with the hope of finding out lots of new/old work i don't know about I'm now pushing it about a bit. hope its of some interest to folk here, if a release you can reccomend fits the bill then ill gladly add it. heres the list as its it stands, early days. https://www.discogs.com/…/sculpturalunique-instrumen…/312269 thanksScott Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Stephan Micus - The Music of the Stones. Features resonant stones as one of the sound sources. All of his releases feature some pretty obscure instruments from around the world, mostly flutes and stringed things. Off hand, he uses a Ghanian 'talking drum' called a Dondon and some flowerpots on Desert Poems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ansgaria Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 A few days ago I stumbled upon Dawn Scarfe's work with amplifying sinewaves tones through wine glasses passing by a small loudspeaker. A CD was released on Melange Edition as well, "Tuning to Spheres". Wonderful tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful tones Thanks Hasselbach, added, it to the list. v nice, u might like glass harmonica sounds- weird instrument- unfortunately it seems to mostly be resigned to classical covers. worth a check tho/ sorry i can't find the example i was looking for,.

cwmbrancity Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Cliff Stapleton's lp "Tumbling of Creatures" is a sweet recent release in this vein, building melodies through hurdy-gurdy drone madness with some other sounds of obscure provenance, if you can source his releases outside of the usual Coil material you're in for a treat https://cliffstapleton.bandcamp.com/releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
