 What I'm listening to today: "Limited Access", GOLDEN BOY At some point last week this tab got opened on my browser and I d… I honestly don't remember where it came from. The song in the tab is from an album named "I NEVER MEANT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN" and is frankly pretty hype. As is the wont of Bandcamp electronic musicians, GOLDEN BOY (she/her) seems to be trying to fit as many different club genres into one song as possible. Kinda reminds me of early Prodigy. 107 comments
What I'm listening to today: "Spirals & Orbits", Benge This was recorded this year but is going *hard* in both audio and visuals for the aesthetics of a 60s-70s educational filmreel, all baffling diagrams and radiophonic-workshop abstract noises, video feedback, quiet glimmering echoes on slow oscillator sweeps. As a piece of ambient music it's entrancing. What I'm listening to today: "Volca Keys + Beats ambient jam - Volca Dreams", Fortress of Sound A lovely, gentle electronic groove made on the two most basic Korg Volca units and one guitar pedal. Feels like water level music from a lost Donkey Kong Country game. The basics, they work. This is 13 minutes long and realistically probably could/should have been like seven but you just kind of zone out and you don't notice how long it's been. What I'm listening to today: "Make Noise | Strega with Pocket Operator PO-33 Session 221119", ナカヤマコウジ This is a short and simple, kind of ambient / abstract trip-hop piece made with a handheld sampler and the Strega, a synthesizer/effects unit (co-designed by… Alessandro Cortini, again). Not super attention-grabbing or anything and it's over near as soon as it starts, but it sounds really cool and it creates some nice distinct moods before it goes. What I'm listening to today: "Push for Woogies", tvvt This is an acid techno jam posted on the synthesizer subreddit this morning based around what I think is a Moog Sub37 and a bunch of Electron boxes. It's messy but very fun; I like how the first 20 seconds or so sound like just random noises until the bass drum drops and suddenly everything snaps into place. https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/10csghi/push_for_woogies/ What I'm listening to today: "Soma Pulsar 23 - Dark Minimal performance", Deaftone Audio A small, hissy percussion piece ("microhouse"? Is this what "microhouse" is? Maybe nanohouse?) with some really good sounds, including an acid bassline rigged out of a Pulsar drum channel. In my opinion a good way to spend four minutes. What I'm listening to today: "Particle Hands", HELL F.O HELL F.O has a bunch of fun stuff posted— they've appeared in this thread before— and it's practically all abstract, ambient noise music. So this track is an interesting surprise just by being a completely listenable, borderline-pop dance techno piece. Still some interesting sound design, mind you! But drop this into a club set with some bass EQ and I think the crowd would eat it up. What I'm listening to today: "Choralberg", Alex Siebenhaar In this video, a man wearing a bluescreen for a hat sits on a carpet and steers some racks of synths (and one analog drum machine) through a cryptic, funky melody. Just as you think you understand where it's going, it ends; you find yourself wanting more. What I'm listening to today: "Filthy Miksher - Demo Jam", Deaftone Audio This pairs a Pulsar and an acid bass groovebox with some kind of noisemaker box based on a spring attached to a contact microphone. It starts as ambient noise and then grows into a bumping rhythm without ever containing… anything except noise, actually, so you've just got this gradually escalating percussive techno piece made up of different noise textures. I like it What I'm listening to today: "Ufouria" title theme (iNES 0.9 glitched version), Naoki Kodaka (Sunsoft) iNES 0.9 for Mac OS 9 had an audio bug affecting only a few games (including "Hebereke", aka "Ufouria") causing the noise and PCM channels to be very loud and distorted. In my opinion, this improves the music *tremendously*, giving it a wild industrial/IDM flavor. The first time I played Ufouria it sounded like this, and I didn't know it was a bug. So this is the canonical soundtrack to me. What I'm listening to today: "Hoss featuring the PERKONS HD-01", Generative Jane This one is a wild ride, starting with a blast of strange FM noises and then immediately dropping hard into a gradually-mutating industrial dance beat. This is the kind of music you'd show opening credits to, probably over establishing shots of a futuristic city, or possibly people riding futuristic motorcycles at great speed to no particular obvious destination. |

What I'm listening to today: "◯" (Vision Creation Newsun part 1), The Boredoms
The Boredoms started off making entire EPs of just screaming, but evolved into a mindblowing mix of psychadelia, surf rock, and Taiko drumming. And screaming. This is their masterpiece, a joyous explosion like the sound of a world being created, cf "Victory over the Sun".
I couldn't find a good single-track rip on YouTube, so this is the whole album. "Oops." Press stop whereever feels right.
