Three new CD’s

Filed under: Music/Música — mateo @ 4:29 pm

Hello, another music recommendation. Yep.

The first one is “Dimlite”. I saw him at an electronic hip-hop festival, not knowing about this band. A very verydimlite - this is embracing good surprise ! If you know Boards of Canada and Prefuse 73, then imagine a mix of both, with more personal compositions. I recommend you “This is Embracing”, released on 2006. More information about Dimlite : here.

Phil Fucking Collins

Filed under: Music/Música — mateo @ 1:18 pm

Here’s an interesting music recommendation, it’s about record degeneration trough time.

I’ll just quote the website :

This record was created by taking some of Phil Collins’ greatest hits, smearing them across time, completely destroying them. The result is haunting, beautiful, hypnotic, frightening, and relaxing! Give it a shot, you might be surprised…

Looping tapes

Filed under: Music/Música — mateo @ 10:54 pm

Another music recommendation.
This time it’s about cutting, taping and looping cuts of audio tapes to make experimental music.
I got my hands on 2 albums of The Loop Orchestra : Not Overtly Orchestral and The Analogue Years.
It sounds really warm but weird at the same time. If you like experimental music, then this is definitely some albums to listen to !!
