\nHere’s some experimental sound stuff I’ve found around the internet that I enjoyed, and you can too.
\n–
\nDexp Lab – Sectors LP<\/u> … Retro-futurist ambiance that frequently veers into dissonant noise-ambient sound clusters and occasionally settles into a groove that hints at head nod territory. For me, the best music merely ‘hints’ rather than ‘says’. Like this a lot.
\nFree. 320 \/ VBR \/ OGG. Rus Zud netlabel.<\/a>
\n–
\nPavonine – Pavonine<\/u> … Soft industrial drone work, reminiscent, to me, of the Hafler Trio’s quieter music, but more explicitly ‘ambient’. Very atmospheric and admirably restrained. “Rassamblement des choses qui portent malheur” has a subdued musical theme that is so understated and melancholy that it could be heartbreaking under the right circumstances. Completely lovely.

\nHannah M.G. Shapero (Altocumulus) – My Name is Marietta Cashman<\/u> … consisting of recordings from the late 1960s of a teenage girl experimenting with the Buchla 100 modular synthesizer. From the descriptive text: “The sounds on this recording, unheard for 40 years, are a compilation of assorted electronic effects which were thrown together without much planning, rather as a storehouse than as a finished piece. They date from 1968 and 1969. The modern aesthetic of patchwork and accidental meaning, which was only at its beginning in 1968, has made this into “listenable” material<\/i>.” I doubt I could make a better description than that, you will either like that or not. For me it’s pretty great.
