love that Cortini record, glad it's still finding listeners.

yeah, I'm a big fan of Cortini's stuff!
if you haven't heard it already, I recommend checking out this M. Geddes Gengras album which was made on a Korg Volca FM (and in a hotel room like the Cortini):https://umorrex.bandcamp.com/album/hawaiki-tapes

Ooh thanks! I too recently made an EP using the Volca FM primarily, but like sequenced dance music using samples for all of the bass and drums. The Cortini record made me wonder if I could do something more live & dubby with it.

Sort of weightless black metal/drone/shoegaze from a moniker of Golden D0nna/Auscultati0n:

Cross-post this to the rolling jazz, chill lo-fi beats to study to, and rolling low-passed L.A. post-Low End Theory people playing instruments threads

love the first one. that blake mills/pino palladino record has lots of wilkes on it too, similarly good

nice I really loved Sam Gendel’s album from last year. on the surface it’s like like jon hassell doing jazz standards but the weird production gives it a different vibe
― brimstead, Friday, 23 July 2021 18:19 (three years ago) link
Yeah, I love that, it's like its own radio station

I feel like this belongs here somehow - I'm going back to Jacaszek's 2001 LP "Glimmer" and this is just my sort of thing. Romantic electro-acoustic ambient with lots of dark lush timbres, wide soundscapes, a good mix of ... well everything, really - sampled traditional instruments, harsh electronic noise, harmony and dissonance. Looking forward to his other work, I'm going to check out KWIATY next.

he's still going actually, I dig this from 2018: http://michaeltrommer.blogspot.com/2018/10/executive-shore-unawatuna-sri-lanka.html

but yeah his newer stuff is very different. wish there was more hydraulic material.
― brisk money (lukas), Thursday, 28 April 2022 21:08 (two years ago) link
also, if you like that, the rest of the comp it's on (Magnetic Blue, from Interchill) is worth checking out.

just loving the Sofie Birch album
is she part of a ... scene? I see a lot of collaborators on this record.
― death generator (lukas), Wednesday, 31 August 2022 17:33 (two years ago) link
good question
a lot of the collaborators are from Copenhagen, afaik joined by common taste, interests, friends
but the international stuff I dunno, if there's a scene I'd like to be more familiar with it

"RYMbient" album that splits the difference between pastoral/cozy/childlike ambient and tape noise — riyl Nuno Canavarro, Colleen, Tim Hecker. ideally this should be used a soundtrack for a Netflix adaptation of Marianne Dreams/Paperhouse
I've also been loving Foresteppe and you c's Seven Sleepers EP from 2016. more folky and less noisy but sort of in the same vein

This Rival Consoles album from last year (Now Is) is really nice. Mostly beatless rhythmic synth pieces. I've seen the name but never really checked anything out until now.

I've really liked a few of his albums though he walks a fine line for me, the noisier and more experimental he is, the better.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 6 September 2023 04:36 (one year ago) link
Persona grabbed me the most. It is a good deep-listening headphones album.

Made some really great discoveries through the latest Trilogy Tapes NTS show, most notably Ernest Hood (jazz guitarist who lost the ability to play and walk from polio, made some amazingly ahead of their time records on zither and synth in the '70s, maybe all you hipsters already know about them?):

This new Moritz Von Oswald record is something, drone-y but has so much detail and depth with the choir elements, and just enough rhythm lurking under the surface

Not sure where to put this, but I would have nominated it for the EOY poll if I had heard it a few weeks ago (came out in December). Pretty stunning electronics + Rhodes + vocal improvisations.
