Not Dead .....Yet

(NOTE: this is pretty difficult and intense stuff -- for serious audio adventurers. - zhao)

Remko Scha is a professor of computational linguistics at the faculty of humanities and Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam. He is also an internationally renowned composer and performer of algorithmic art.
He has also made recordings of music which has been generated by motor-driven machines. One example of this type of music is his 1982 album of electric guitar music,"Machine Guitars", on which all guitars are played by saber saws without human intervention, except for one in which the guitar is played by a rotating wire brush, again with no human intervention.

Machine Guitars. 33 rpm LP. Eindhoven: Kremlin Products, KR006. 1982. (Cover art work by The Machines.)

FUSION ONE

this is a mash-up album fusing global traditional music and modern bass/beats. if you've ever wondered what Digital Gamelan is like, or what Capetown gospel singers do after moving to London Ghettos, or how Robots would play Ethiopian Jazz...

erasing lines, fusing edges, reconnecting all mutations, permutations, lost strains, divided strands, and myriad variations of the deeper-than-we-remember roots from which we all come. limits are arbitrary, borders are lies, separation is illusion.

morocco was amazing and crazy and hallucinatory. but it will take some time for me to sort through the photos and stories and piles of amazing music i brought back. for now i realize we haven't had any contemporary electronic music in a while and here is an almost forgotten gem:

Thanks to coonass who originally uploaded this obscure and lovely little self released CDR by portugese person/outfit TSUKI, called "i wish that mountain could have eye".

it comprises of gentle but impressionable, haunting yet not typically "dark", minimalist but playful sound paintings using really nice and unique loops and textures and amazing resonating tones, some of which come from a saxophone.

thoroughly enjoyed first 2 back-to-back listens over the weekend and have become an instant favorite that i will return to time and again.
