love those two susumu albums the most r1o, and above track and some other from boy and tree but the one after that seemed overdone - are more recent ones good?

if you could recommend more in this vein i would really appreciate it. something about early 90s/saw2-style ambient has been hitting the spot recently, but it's not like i ever forgot that i liked that stuff. think i just stagnated in the twinkly leaf/type/kranky-side of ambient for a bit longer than i perhaps should have

^ second this; also recommend track-wise

yeah, I foolishly bought one of those on limited vinyl release... but the trifecta cd set, oh yeah

man i had to try very very hard to restrain from buying the vinyls. i always regret buying ambient stuff on vinyl cuz you have to get up at some point to flip the record

I thought there was a skip, but it turns out permafrost has a click in one channel for a while. embarassing.

so good. Hadn't heard PaulStretch before, it sounds great. long history of other timestretch pieces, Stockhausen, Carl Stone, Leif Inge but usually executed on classical sources, and with a demo like this done with shareware I think we're in for a cavalcade
kind of amazing how mundane the chord changes are in the original song

yrs ago I really wanted to like this sort of stuff because something about the aesthetic seemed really appealing but I think I lacked the attention span. now stuff from 12k and type and the like are just really appealing

Rutman's solo Steel Cello & metal ensemble records are amazing but usually a little more active / dissonant listening -- this is a collaboration with an electronic producer who doesn't synth or reverb out the acoustic steel sound, just kind of edits / tailors the most consonant moments into more of a nighttime listen
Mutant Sounds has two of Rutman's more intense / unedited steel cello albums -- I'm a big fan and I'm a little confused I hadn't heard about this one until now, it does have kind of a silly title
― Milton Parker, Thursday, 16 December 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link
actually reading closer, it seems like this isn't as much edited as just the two of them playing his instruments -- it doesn't really sound edited, it's just more restrained / pretty than the other ones which are a little less afraid to wail
― Milton Parker, Thursday, 16 December 2010 20:04 (thirteen years ago) link
i like the steel cello record, but it isn't what id call relaxing

flicked through today and it seems like a pretty comprehensive anthology of classic and more obscure ambient records up to the present day. want!

I take it it's in Japanese, right? Looks like a book w/companion CD according to what I saw.

anyone read this? i've had it on my shelf for who knows how many years, but never read it. probably because it's too big to carry w/me to read on the way to work

it's the kind of book that doesn't introduce you to anything new and makes all your favorite records sound boring. I must admit I only flipped through it but everywhere I landed it was 2-3 pages of argh.

good thing i only paid $7 for it
― jaxon, Thursday, 23 December 2010 19:05 (thirteen years ago) link
ah I don't know I like the idea of his thesis of Mahler as proto-ambient, all the early 20th century orchestral music that was careening into pure texture, there's an argument to be made there. but hopefully by someone who's a little less dull
all I have is language, I respond with language, I respond, and as I respond, I sense the desire of the leech-child I carry on my back slowly being satisfied

but as long as I'm on the subject on this ambient thread, here is a link to japanese radical feminist poet Hiromi Ito speaking for 90 minutes about Trichotillomania:
Hiromi - Pulling Hairs: http://vimeo.com/2502167
― Milton Parker, Thursday, 23 December 2010 19:29 (thirteen years ago) link
xposts it is in Japanese yes, but it seems fairly light on text, most of the book is devoted to nice colour prints of the album covers. was impressed by the range of stuff it covered, the 90s section for example features obvious classics like SAW II and 76:14, alongside less well known things like Rapoon and Philus
