SV: [microsound] severed heads and you :) (forwarded message)



bah, sad to see that he's become so bitter, i used to think of mr.ellard as
a man with some humour - the upcoming Severed Heads-album is gonna be called
"LAP TOP POP" after all...

>>| Taylor Deupree
>>|
>>| Sonar swish, comb teeth and little scheeeew noises. Has a slightly
>>|
>>| aquatic, tense and clinical sound. Make a good Doom atmosphere loop but
>>|
>>| like a lot of his stuff, it sounds more functional than heartful.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| 0ivin0 Ids0
>>|
>>| Very Stockhausen like granular synthesis. Inharmonic, birdlike. It smells
>>|
>>| of a conservatorium and little else.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Stilluppstreypa
>>|
>>| Wailing devil horns, very very high, very very low tones and a filmic
>>|
>>| pulsing drone. Strong and suprising..
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Sony Mao
>>|
>>| Again, granular synthesis but with a looping rhythmic base that makes it
>>|
>>| far more effective than most.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Ambarchi-Fennesz-Pimmon-Rehberg
>>|
>>| Heavy fog, snatches of music, radio, echoes, guitar strings being
>>|
>>| tortured. Warm, emotive. This is where the music is headed.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Dean Roberts
>>|
>>| Little bells and bleeps. Echo overloads, distant drone. Guitar feedback.
>>|
>>| Intricate and involving.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Terre Thaemlitz
>>|
>>| Sounds very much like a ring modulated loop of a guitar with clippity
>>|
>>| clop noises. Not unpleasant, even a bit cowboy. Apart from the digital
>>|
>>| overload farts perhaps added to make it 'glitch'.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Akira Rabelais
>>|
>>| (Now there's a cute moniker).
>>|
>>| High pitch shifted shortwave radio. OK. but no banana.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Christophe Charles
>>|
>>| Windchimes slowed down with other animal noises. It's an emotive sound
>>|
>>| for me, but maybe because Eno did it in the early 70's
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Albrecht Kunze
>>|
>>| A hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm with backwards gleeps. It's good because it's extra
>>|
>>| milky.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Full Swing
>>|
>>| Backwards stuff with clicks. Yeah, so what.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| Achim Wollscheid
>>|
>>| A megamix of all the above.
>>|
>>|
>>|
>>| It seems to me that, glitch in itself is stillborn. The little clicks and
>>|
>>| surface noise are the tartan bondage pants of the punk era, or the pink
>>|
>>| leg warmers of the 80's - simply a signpost of the current era. What is
>>|
>>| worthy is the same emotive and melodic elements that underpin all music.
>>|
>>| Here, it's been cut and sliced to make it alien and reveal new aspects. I
>>|
>>| can't help but think of a sexual partner trying on a bit of rubber fetish
>>|
>>| to spice up a long term relationship - it's tittlation of a jaded
>>|
>>| audience that has heard too many songs. Recently I've bought a CD on
>>|
>>| Noton (why bother with names, the current fashion is to be mysterious so
>>|
>>| fuck 'em) that's getting pretty funky with the pops and crackles, and a
>>|
>>| CD based around Jerusalem that borrows a lot of traditional music to make
>>|
>>| the soundscape.... the best practitioners know it's time to move and
>>|
>>| leave Mille Plateaux in a nostalgic realm, where 50Hx hum through a
>>|
>>| square wave is 'before everybody sold out'.
