#avantprog — Public Fediverse posts

Inspired by what I'd seen on Reddit, bulked out by new purchases and direct approaches from musicians, topped up with a selection of albums from my collection, here's a video of what I listened to in April.

New #review today: "Artefacts is the latest offering by #ThierryZaboitzeff, composer, cellist, bassist. and much more. The five tracks at hand are mostly instrumental with the exception of the closer, and clock in at a little over 28 minutes total. Taken as a whole, the music here tends to be dark and pensive, but not overwhelmingly so, with plenty of luminous flashes of brilliance." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantProg #RIO #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/thierry-zaboitzeff-artefacts-3.html

New #review today: "#Psychowatermelon is a duo consisting of #AlexSavelli and #TommasoMichienzi, two veterans of various projects in various genres. They’re united in a love of old school #krautrock, #ExperimentalElectronics, and movie soundtracks, and they bring all that and more to the table in Ghostpiracy." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg #AvantRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/psychowatermelon-ghostpiracy-2.html

New #review today: "As with most of #Corima’s music, Hunab Ku consists of a number of tracks (seven in this case) which comprise a continuous piece of music, with recurring motifs and moods, but all working together as a unified statement. Anyone familiar with Corima’s particular brand of #zeuhl will be at home here." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/corima-humab-ku-2.html

This is what I listened to last month. It's all prog or prog related. How many of these have you heard?

#ThrowbackThursday #review from 1999: "#HamsterTheatre is led by the talented multi-instrumentalist #DaveWilley.

New #review today: "Time really flies; it seems like just a few years ago that #Zhongyu released their debut album "Zhongyu" Is Chinese For "Finally" on #MoonjuneRecords, but in truth it’s been a full nine years. During that time the band has shrunk from a quintet to a trio — though in fact “Super Z Attack Team” was used as the band name any time they would play live in a trio configuration." #ExposeOnline #RightBrainRecords #ProgressiveRock #AvantProg #MathRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/zhongyu-super-z-attack-team-3.html

New #review today: "Yes, it’s been more than ten years since #HappyFamily released Minimal Gods, which featured the band regrouping after a sixteen-year hiatus to produce their best work to date. But that renewed activity was short-lived, and the members burned out and split up — given the intensity of their music, it’s easy to see how carrying on could seem like an insurmountable burden." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #AvantProgressive #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/happy-family-4037-2.html

New #review today: "#Shmulikraut is an #AvantProg #ChamberRock band from the high desert lookout town of Mitzpe Ramon in southern Israel; their music is group composed, though strongly informed by improvisation and experimentation, with jazz and folk elements in abundance." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/shmulikraut-guts-voyage-3.html

New #review today: "#Abacaxi’s Quetzal, in spite of the iconically Mexican name, is an album by a French band that crosses math rock with #AphexTwin style erratic stuttering sounds — all accomplished by the way they play and the use of effects pedals." #ExposeOnline #MathRock #ExperimentalMusic #AvantProgressive #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/abacaxi-quetzal-2.html

The wonderful Berlin-based #AvantProg band #Tryon is working on an ambitious new project, and they're seeking help with funding: https://www.gofundme.com/f/3yxyg-tryons-largest-ensemble-album-salmon-dreams?attribution_id=sl:1d199a2b-a5a6-4458-b889-583dd9e6ff4d&lang=en_US&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link

New #review today: "It’s been nine years since the last album from #UniversZero, and I don’t want to say it’s been worth the wait for such a great album as Lueur, which would be great even if so much time hadn’t passed, and I'm always happy to hear more from #DanielDenis and company. Long-time fans of the band have nothing to worry about, as this is a continuation of UZ’s tradition of dark #ChamberRock." #ExposeOnline #RIO #AvantRock #AvantProg #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/univers-zero-lueur-2.html

New #review today: "Starting in 2012, French guitarist and composer Arnaud Quevedo has been working with a changing group of musicians. 2nd Life is the third full-length release, billed as #AQ&F: #ArnaudQuevedoAndFriends. Quevedo’s music takes on an expansive sound exemplifying modern #ChamberRock, and I’m reminded at times of Taal’s great Skymind album from 2003, though 2nd Life has touches of jazz in the melodies and arrangements..." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/aqf-2nd-life-2.html

New #review today: "Perhaps one of the most idiosyncratic bands to emerge from the Midwest in the 70s, #RascalReporters is one of those groups that would completely change their stripes from one album to the next — one might not even recognize that two adjacent albums on their timeline are even by the same band, which is a good thing I guess, keeps you guessing." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantProg #AvantGarde http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/rascal-reporters-dux-in-a-row-3.html

New review today: "Some of the best kept secrets of the Japanese progressive music scene were the bands and projects of #HirofumiKawahara (#Osiris, #AstralTempel, and #Heretic) probably because they didn’t fit into any of the convenient styles like symphonic progressive or the #AvantProgressive that followed. Now after 44 years of musical activity, Kawahara’s entire body of work to date is being released in digital format by #Cuneiform." #ExposeOnline #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/heretic-hiro-kawahara-complete-works-3.html
