<p>What I'm listening to today: "Plain Song", Sidewinder</p><p>I think about: Jazz as it developed grew to abhor repetition. First reorienting itself on solos, then spiraling out into free-jazz anarchy. But then there was that circa-2000 electronica movement that got really into jazz, and *they'd* sample the most interesting six seconds of a jazz improvisation and hyperfocus on it, reintroduce repetition.</p><p>Here's that second thing, a funky groove from 2000 AD exactly. Good piano</p><p><a href="https://sidewindermusic.bandcamp.com/track/plain-song" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sidewindermusic.bandcamp.com/t</span><span class="invisible">rack/plain-song</span></a></p>
<p>What I'm listening to today: "Restless", The Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination</p><p>I had this one on vinyl and listened to it a ton then had some period in the 10s I couldn't find it anymore, because I'd got it in my head it was The Cinematic Orchestra and kept going through the Cinematic Orchestra discography going "no, that's not it…". Anyway. Ninja Tune jazz with huge vibes.

<p>What I'm listening to today: "The Culprit", Zü and Nobukazu Takemura</p><p>N.T. is a glitch musician I really like from the early 00s; this is from a 2007 collaboration with a jazz/metal¹ group from Italy. Here a noise that kind of sounds like someone opened up a non-audio file² in Audacity Import->Raw Data plays counterpart to drums and bass produced like metal but fit to free jazz patterns. If you like Sacto postrock listen to this</p><p><a href="https://zuband.bandcamp.com/track/the-culprit" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">zuband.bandcamp.com/track/the-</span><span class="invisible">culprit</span></a></p><p>¹ God, genres are so fake.<br />² Like, a .exe</p>
<p>Americans now sound like Filipinos from 2016 under the Duterte's administration. They're having Far-right and Far-left opinions from disinformation campaigns. The Philippines was literally the petri dish for this, yet Americans refused to learn from the mistakes of Filipinos.</p>
<p>What I'm listening to today: "Strega Agitation | Part I", Bottle Makes Music</p><p>Five minute solo on the "what if we made the entire synthesizer out of reverb" synth Alessandro Cortini co-designed with Make Noise. Quiet but with an incredible richness and complexity to the sound if you can bring yourself to focus on the structure below the hiss, faraway echoes of unknowable machinery, the corridor to a hangar for planes powered by ghosts</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVsLPZ3N1HE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=sVsLPZ3N1HE</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

<p>What I'm listening to today: "Concentric | Tapeloop & Eurorack Dark Ambient", MJ:Mu</p><p>An 18-minute, highly structured sound journey accompanied by ocean waves and some very good nail polish. The musician starts a loop of tape-saturated pads then improvises with two abstract instruments embedded in their modular suitcase, the first a sort of shimmery dub organ, they other (they mounted an Elmyra in a eurorack! I've never seen that) a sort of 90s-style saw-wave violin drone</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJQOql1nsUM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=tJQOql1nsUM</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
