Simfy Stream: Apparat – The Devil's Walk

Sep 16, 2011, 3:00am LOCAL SUICIDE
Apparat - Black Water
"The Devil's Walk" one can say, is obviously structurally and musically influenced by the fundamental minimalism of Steve Reich's "Music for 18 musicians". Especially from the track "Escape" and on a whole new direction is introduced almost deceiving the listeners from what starts as a little more "pop" Apparat album to a total homage/interpretation of [...]

Album review: Beak> – ‘Beak>̵ 7; (Invada)

Oct 20, 2009, 2:00pm The Lime Wire Blog
Album review: Beak> – ‘Beak>̵ 7; (Invada) First things first: yes, that annoying "greater than" sign is really part of their name. Now then — the Bristol-based Beak> is a brand-spanking-new group that only just got together in January of 2009, but the individual members' backstories are a bit meatier. Bassist Billy Fuller, for instance, has played with the likes of Massive Attack and Robert Plant, and Geoff Barrow is both a heavyweight producer (The Horrors, The Coral, Tricky) and a founding member of Portishead. Together with third man Matt Williams, they offer sparse, mostly instrumental tracks that make maximum use of space, developing [...]

OCEANO PROVE THAT DEATHCORE HAS DEPTHS

Oct 12, 2009, 1:30pm MetalSucks
Philosopher and academic Paul Hegarty began his 2007 tome Noise/Music: A History with the following description: "Noise is not an objective fact. It occurs in relation to perception-both direct (sensory) and according to presumptions made by an individual... Whether noise is happening or not will depend on the source of what is being called noise-who [...]

Thee Grande Jacobean Space Programme

Aug 17, 2009, 11:51am The Cargo Culte
Thee Grande Jacobean Space Programme Flying to the moon 400 years ago seems palpably idiotic to most people. Yet incredible as it may seem, one of the greatest scientific minds of the time, Dr John Wilkins, Brother-in-Law to Oliver Cromwell and a founder of the Royal Society, was planning his own lunar mission four centuries ago around the time of the English Civil War. 17th century England was experiencing a great renaissance in the realms of science and discovery during the 1600's. Coffee House Society swept the intelligencia and the very mood of conversation had changed. At the time when coffee first [...]

Brass Trax Essentials: John Cale Slow Dazzle

Jun 3, 2009, 12:27pm JamsBio Magazine
John Cale lived hard in the mid seventies. Mercurial, frequently besotted by cocaine, recently divorced, and existentially disheveled, Cale released a trio of albums on Island Records with an edge so gritty and dark that they sound even today like a drug binge hangover. The best of these, Slow Dazzle (1975), remains a precisely tattered document of the wages of fame and excess.

TONALISM: EVERYTHING COMES TO LIFE!

May 28, 2009, 3:58pm L.A. RECORD
Alejandro Cohen wants to put you to sleep. Today, Ale and friends from L.A.-based collective dublab will take over the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur to create an night of ambient music event aptly titled "Tonalism"—a term Ale appropriated from late-19th-century painters who tried to capture the mood of nature by representing it with misty atmospheres. This interview by Drew Denny.

World Minimal Music Festival / Clark at Trouw, 03/04/09

Apr 9, 2009, 12:27pm mapsadaisical
After the previous day's minimalist exertions, sadly (albeit soundly) I slept until after a scheduled performance of Gavin Bryars' Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet had started. So I went for a potter around the canals, went to the Van Gogh Museum, sampled the brown cafe culture, watched the skaters in the park, all [...]

Jonathan Kane, a Bluesman Reborn: An Interview with Jonathan Kane

Jan 18, 2009, 4:44pm Visitation Rites
Once upon a time there was Jonathan Kane, a volcanic drummer equally comfortable in the world of industrial rock as he was in contemporary minimalism and blues. Co-founder of the mythic band Swans and regular collaborator of Rhys Chatham and La Monte Young, Jonathan Kane is probably best known as a drummer. But he is also a talented composer, and has been crafting minimal pieces with a definitive blues feel since 2005, available on Radium, a subsidiary of Table of the Elements. The story begins in 2005. Jeff Hunt, head of Table of the [...]

The Paste Top Albums of 2008: A Refutation

Dec 16, 2008, 9:51pm Chewing Pine
This photo cold-jacked from Zack Arias Allow me to say that I really enjoy reading Paste . I, however, hate year end lists more than I hate wearing tight pants in general – but specifically after a huge meal. Anyway, Paste , much like every other media outlet in the world has compiled their favorite discs from the year 2008. Considering that the way in which human beings arbitrarily defined time, year-end lists seem ridiculous. But also, considering the fact that Psychic Ills , [...]

various | ohm+: the early gurus of electronic music an essential guide to the birth of electronic music. brian eno puts it pretty well in the introduction in the accompanying booklet: "many of the ideas in this collection have now been so completely assimilated into popular listening that it may sometimes be hard to remember how surprising it all was on first outing. some of it still sounds pretty exotic. these cds are important as part of the story of how we got to where we are now–the cultural conversation so far–and as a still fruitful repertoire of future possibilities." there's also a dvd out [...]

Horizontal Pop, Vertical Pop

Jul 12, 2008, 2:29pm VIDEO POP
Horizontal Pop, Vertical Pop As I'm sure you're well-aware by now, the point of Video Pop is to bring you the catchiest, most aurally pleasing music available, regardless of genre. With that in mind, I present to you two compositions that are typically regarded as works of the 20th Century Classical/Avant-Garde Minimalist movement. However, I want you to ignore any cultural notions of haughtiness or impenetrability you might associate with the avant-garde, because as you'll hear, this music is not difficult . It's really not that strange, and it's certainly pleasing to listen to. Sidenote: [...]

Strictly Built 4 Smoking-Jacket Linx

Sep 19, 2006, 10:43pm Green Pea-ness
La Monte Young, "Voice And Sinewaves" (THIRTY-TWO MB OF UNBELIEVABLY PRETENTIOUS [yet great] DRONING WARNING) - Although I couldn't possibly count myself among the chorus of people loudly bemoaning the state of pop music in 2006, it does strike me as significant that the album with which I've spent more time this year is, without question, La Monte Young's The Well-Tuned Piano . I realize, of course, that using a work as insufferably experimental as The Well-Tuned Piano as a cipher for the failings of contemporary pop music is a little [...]
