There's a batch of solo EPs out on Dinzu Artefacts, and this one from Lester St. Louis is a great time! The first half isn't harsh, but some of these techniques are extended enough to make me concerned for the cello. Second half is more violent, but there's a pocket of safety inside the feedback.
It got 14 votes, just one shy of qualifying 😔
This album from Lucy Liyou really seems to get at the absurdity of taking deliberate action to make yourself exist while also operating as a sort of Katamari Damacy ball rolling around and picking up the excreted observations of others as a part of the process. We are going to make it, together!
I have *absolutely* been a filthy casual and only gone toe-dipping with them, but I've always liked what I heard. I should get on that, the weather is by no means hot over here, but it's getting close enough!
A lot of synthesizers get treated like they've been solved and are capable of fully implementing our will. But I feel like Analog Tara shows a more collaborative approach in her work, like the sequencer is asking the synth as much as it's telling.
Oh thanks, had missed these but these look intriguing! That one from Zanus is calling to me, absolutely gonna check that when I get to the right hour for it
I'd never heard Christina Kubisch before, but she's been active in the electroacoustic world for several decades. I'll have to catch up! There's some adventures in oscillation here that seems like it'd find a good home with any Creel Pone fans. There's also some great quiet moves at the end!
Quentin Tolimieri has something new for you to do with your ears. He'll be hammering into one idea for the duration of a piece, sometimes soft or slow but always with an equal drive, and it's unclear where I'm finding the change that happens. How much is in the instrument, and how much is in me?

Record Store Day is a great day to buy old music again, but there's also a lot of new music too! Get all the links at www.endaural.com/anticipation...
Oh I think there's good news on that front, I believe its out there for download since its on switch 1, as long as you have a computer that can emulate the switch & you're ok with stealing from nintendo
Jane MIgliara Brigham I take no responsibility for the emotional state people are in when they read our work. I can control the accuracy of my reporting, and that is it. All i can control is accurately representing the facts. Alex Tripp YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY YOU CLAIM TO SERVE, ACTUALLY The Needle Yes, we do, which is why we make sure our coverage is factual and don't run stories unless we've checked the facts. If you'll notice, our news cycle isn't constant. We've gone days without reporting things at all due to various factors, such as needing to do due diligence or other reasons.
Alex Tripp That isn't enough. You are targeting a community that has a hopelessness and suicidality problem! You have to care about that if you want to do things for the community and not simply take from them!! Jane MIgliara Brigham If you are trans and suicidal you should not read the news. We are not responsible for the emotions of people who come across our reporting.
They justify it with a technical fidelity to truth but they maximalize an emotional response and deny any responsibility for the faulty conclusions of that emotional response, but if they reported the full context they could stop it. But that's less exciting! It is evil and I hate it so much.
They're releasing it on the first switch as well if you got one of those! I've only got a lite but if it runs decent on those I think I might pick up a copy
It's terrible, but I love that cool stuff keeps popping up (to eventually be crushed) in spite of it all. Getting some friends to make youtube playlists and then getting a private room on pubby.club to take turns playing songs (after everyone learns the terrible ui) is a good time, while it lasts.
Seems disingenuous after your concerns about coming off as an asshole and finding it weird that a trans person specifically could hold this position. Consider that "don't you know this logic supports your own genocide" is only a weapon you can use against trans people because of transphobia.
When a cis person says something you disagree with they just get to be disagreed, but in this case you cast your opponent as employing a logic that betrays her people. This is a transphobic thing for you to do. We never get to just be normal.
Yes you did, right here, with this. You can only use weaponize marginalization against the marginalized, and you should reconsider your willingness to do that. Think about what you are building
But you wouldn't say that they validate transphobia
Would you ever say this about a cis person saying this statement? It reads as deeply transphobic to use a trans person's identity this way
It's pretty funny that QKThr, this random track from DrukQs, might be the most currently popular song in the tournament because of how often it ends up in little videos
A marketing company was used by numerous bands and no evidence has been provided for what the company actually did, and the result is that one band is viewed as artificial. You guys are really good at spotting psyops!
I feel like there was some insecurity in Aphex's statements around DrukQs, due to a lack of a 'new sound' like what Metasynth did for Windowlicker, but he deserves more credit for using the less weighty piano tracks to offset the mental fatigue of all the dense programming. This is not slapdash.
Is it fair to say these questions are investigated if you don't produce anything approaching an answer? It's not even clear what was done.
Wow, this has some heat! Love this, have you heard the other bands mentioned at the end of the description here? Feels like something I should be looking into
This collaboration from upsammy & Valentina Magaletti sort of sounds like Aphex Twin, and I know that's the laziest comparison to make. But listen to Superimposed! Listen to that weird bassline and way these drums move, it may not have a prominent detuned synth, but it's a pretty similar character.
Some might find Guests unimpressive. The vocals give the mildest pivot when they turn from spoken to barely-sung. The music barely hangs together in the little it does, like it might get knocked over and spill if you listen to it at the wrong angle. But these small moves unlock something special!!
The Carl Stone & Asuna collaboration opens with hints of the former's manic sample chopping, but it's not long until we see that these two have their own thing going on. The action recedes from the foreground, and turns into articulation and detail for slow moving limbs. It's a patient engagement.
You'll find some spooky energy on Domenica Diavoleria's new one, there's a great example on the second track. The blurry line between the dank air's texture and the bodies within gets cut by something with a shine all its own fading into new positions, and then the air cooks into something solid.

Here's this week's new music! I'll have thoughts in the replies and links at www.endaural.com/anticipation...
Yes!! Found out about it a little ways into the week, I'm putting together a new grab bag except this time it will be for stuff with reviews, just gonna get something up for it there because it needs more than 300 characters. But yeah, it's a good one!
Oh nice, digging this! There's something really effective in the economical parts of the sound, like I just finished Devotion and I was *really* aware of this being a duo with a limited number of hands while listening, but if there was anything more it'd be losing something good.
