#WarrenBurt - "A Post-Modern Object-Oriented Chaotic Cellular Microtonal Teledildonic Virtual Simulacra! (Buzzwords [that might have gotten you tenure] for sampled orchestra) (1991) for computer-controlled synthesizer" (reissued 2026)

"This release features music from the final sections of a near-six-hour epic cycle of interactive computer and synthesizer pieces from 1990-91, investigating the magical intermediate space between the human and the mechanical. Dedicated to #KennethGaburo, the music draws on wide-ranging inspirations including #SunRa and #ElliottCarter, #QuincyJones’ “Setembro” and #CharlesIves, #PortsmouthSinfonia and ancient Greek modes."

#GemmaPeacocke's "I Promise Not to Poison You xoxo (movt III)" played by Australian percussionist #ClaireEdwardes on #Marimba. I got to see Peacocke's "Death Wish" performed live by #ODuo at St. Magnus Cathedral here on Orkney earlier this summer - it was spellbinding.

"Honey Behind the Sun" is a #ChristopherTrapani composition as performed by #EnsembleModern live on 09/12/2021 at the Deutsche Ensemble Akademie, Frankfurt, Germany. It's a slowly evolving #microtonal piece using #glissandi and some curious #spatial direction.

Trapani's 2024 "Noise Uprising" CD on New World Records is also well worth exploring.

New work from #KraigGrady, feat. Greek artist #GiorgosVaroutas on pedal steel guitar

“Alternative tunings are a major inspiration for my compositional explorations. The pivotal point for me was meeting with tuning theorist #ErvinWilson and witnessing #HarryPartch’s U.S. Highball in 1975. I was convinced that working with different instruments and tunings was going to be a major artistic movement."

Had she lived, #LindsayCooper would have turned 75 yesterday. She was my favourite #HenryCow member, both in terms of her distinctive woodwind contributions but also her astounding compositional ideas - see Western Culture, side 2. Still, I reckon her post-Cow work is even better. The beautiful scores she wrote for various #SallyPotter-directed projects stand as some of the best politically-engaged #experimentalmusic of the 80s. RIP.

An astoundingly beautiful, endlessly fascinating re-imagination of both the gorgeous surfaces and mysterious, hidden depths of six classics of the Western canon. My jaw is on the floor.

More background on Tristram Cary's Divertimento: for Olivetti machines, chorus and percussion.

"Cary gathered the sounds in Olivetti's London showroom with a Nagra tape recorder, a mixer and microphones. He then transformed the machine noises with his electronic equipment at his private studio, including softening the sounds, and using them both at normal speed and considerably slowed down."

This video has everything: #ModernComposition #olivetti corporate staff, vintage #BritishRail trains, and of course what is now #retrocomputing, but back then would have been cutting edge technology.

It's #BandcampFriday - hoping for a couple of listens to my music, which is too active for ambient, too noisy for cinematic, plus is hard to dance to - thanks!

@helpstertee nice - enjoy “no beats”. In case your interested my no-beat collection… https://johnjhphillips.bandcamp.com #soundart #moderncomposition #electroacoustic #musicconcrete #acousmatic #experimentalmusic #synthesisers

Just can't decide whether to spring for a Microcosm for my small analog synths, or use AUM on my iPad for processing... I want physical knobs, but worried that Microcosm is limited and my investigations of the unit will end up sounding like everyone who uses a Microcosm... thoughts?

I do like a bit of calm & contemplative neoclassical musical on a Sunday, & the sophomore LP from young French pianist Rémi Fay is hitting the sweet spot today, as he painstakingly frames time, space & place with his succinct piano, ambient noise & well chosen collaborators with a similar minimal disposition.

So Ben McElroy & A Spot on the Hill are back with another taste of their forthcoming LP on The Slow Music Movement label, and it's a beautifully judged, contemplative slice of minimal neoclassical music where the space aerates and further elevates the succinct composition.

High winds and cold rain lashing outside, so I'm diving into the tranquil pool of Harold Budd's minimalism. A late-period album, starting with a suite of slowly decaying piano ambience, and finishing with a suite of beautifully elegaic chamber strings.

Harold Budd - In The Mist (2011)

#Ambient #Minimalism #HaroldBudd #ModernComposition

The first single from the forthcoming Everything Was Different Yesterday LP from Ben McElroy & A Spot On The Hill has arrived and it's a beautiful, soothing slice of neoclassical music with Ben's consummate strings and sound design elevating the dreamy minimalism of Dan's piano work to new heights. I hope you enjoy it.
