<p>What I'm listening to today: "hissquiet live at the hive somerville ma"</p><p>Finally, some real friggin noise. The musician's got a granular sampler, it's got an audio clip inside that it scrubs back and forth, and they're controlling it by waving their hand in the air, playing an infared sensor as an instrument. The result defies description, waves of metal wasp grinding and filter howls, a wildly different texture every minute. Video feels like something recorded covertly</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58fvo5DREe0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=58fvo5DREe0</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
<p>What I'm listening to today: "Buchla Music Easel and Tape Loop Feedback Patch", Elabor</p><p>Gorgeous, dark throbbing tones and feedback moans. A short walk through a concrete tunnel lit only by the daylight at the end. Somehow the Buchla here is being augmented with tape loops made with guitar and a Lyra-8 but the sounds can't really be discerned, it's all just one single Thing</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iWZA5DAFAM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=0iWZA5DAFAM</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

<p>What I'm listening to today: "Tratto II", Bernd Alois Zimmermann</p><p>Zimmerman was a mid-1900s German composer whose career seems too large to get a handle on without a visit to the reference library, but the running theme seems to be soaking up like a sponge everything happening in midcentury music from New Music to atonality to jazz. From 1969, here he drops a serene 12-minute "electroacoutic" piece, single notes held for minutes at a time, wallowing in a nameless emotion</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ju2N6-XzUQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=6ju2N6-XzUQ</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
<p>What I'm listening to today: "Open Circuit", Assunta Alegiani and Pedro Ferreira</p><p>L.E.P. is a very small scale creator of "opinionated" electronic instruments from Italy. Here they have invited two musicians to come make music with some of their devices. Two minutes of strange, satisfying drone. Chiptune bagpipes in distant fog. Starts suddenly and cuts off suddenly; I think they must have made a longer recording, and then cut out the two minutes that felt like a "song".</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFm4pXWbgvo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=xFm4pXWbgvo</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
<p>What I'm listening to today: "Over", Analogue Seaotter</p><p>Recorded in a bedroom with a pile of guitar pedals and some unseen keyboard, this is an enigmatic 5-minute ambient noise piece. Feedback corridors and underwater organs. 30 views on YouTube. Placed the jumper cables directly on the artery. Arranged more like a space than a piece of music, lots of little corners where you can comfortably curl up in a single sound and enjoy a bit of sleep paralysis.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDQ1u32QJT8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=dDQ1u32QJT8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
<p>What I'm listening to today: "Konlied Mx", Autechre</p><p>A mysterious Autechre b-side, from a Warp collection named "Routine" from 2001. A gummy, understated groove. It makes me think of empty subway stations. The tint of fluorescent lighting. A busy signal for the universe. Sounds at the other end of the platform, the feeling your eyes are closed when they're open, a temporary moment that stretches on endlessly. A hiss</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWZyEw2M0jI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=EWZyEw2M0jI</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
