1. autechre - "VI scose poise"
2. pita - "track 3" from get out

you get the idea

i'm not sure i do. but i was listening to confield the other day (i'm not sure if it was VI scose poise, i dunno the track titles cept for "pen expers"), and i started getting choked up (no, not over "pen expers"). i was gonna do a taking sides involving "in my life" vs. "(whatever the autechre track name was)" with the conceit of emotional distance ("in my life" always feels undeservedly or, rather, prematurely resolved [except for the j cash version in which that old "old man contemplating the landscape of his life" schpiel works yet again) vs the autechre track that's so endearingly confused - so young- that it only stumbles onto rhythmic consistency by seeming accident). then i thought the better of it.

hah mitch i basically meant music which hovers on the edge of being "music" at all, music that sounds like its crumbling/decomposing/unresolved.

3. Mike Patton - "Orgy in Reverb (10 Kilometers of Lust)"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 21:07 (twenty-three years ago)

perhaps unsurprisingly stuff like this - and no, not mike patton - has been mostly all of what i've been listening to since the start of the war

jess in continuing to hate all my favorite musicians non-shockah!

(holding back from posting an array of John Zorn, Buckethead-as-Death-Cube-K, Fantomas/Melvins Big Band, and Critters Buggin tracks cause I know they will only be met with hatred and fear)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 21:17 (twenty-three years ago)

well, they're also not quite what i mean though, too: i'm thinking of mostly digital, crumbly, stuff which sounds like dying embers or pulses of light or whatever other cheesy cliches you can think of

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 21:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh right right. I totally get it now. Then...

4) Squarepusher - "Theme From Vertical Hold"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 21:25 (twenty-three years ago)

the new CD from dalaba/frith/glick rieman/kuhlstadt isn't quite music, but it's dire dire awful dire, scrapings and bleatings

marcelo radulovich's 'hello' is a superior work but still damned hard to listen to, pulses that go pulseless as he shrieks or whispers 'hello' to you in a really scary way

I had to review both of these but since this bullshit war began I've been wanting to listen to comfort-food pop and mexican cumbia: soothing the seething inner man

certian tracks by pan sonic

"Depth of the Four Horrors" by Death Cube K (Buckethead's ambient/electro project) totally fits this description HAWDKORR.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 21:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Dying embers? Surely Xenakis; there's a piece on his Electro-Acoustic Music (don't have it to hand) which is based on exactly that.

Ah wait, got it; it's "Concrete PH".

"Number Three" by They Might Be Giants

Something off of Christian Vogel's All Music Has Come To An End.

Fennesz/O'Rourke/Rehberg - "A Viennese Tragedy"...Except it's kind of the reverse of that; starting out decomposing and crumbling until the string section at the end hits you (which is really more crushing than the noise bit)

does it have to be electronic for some reason?

Jess, You need to get ahold of a copy Piercing Music by Robert Henke.

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Thursday, 27 March 2003 00:57 (twenty-three years ago)

there's a track by oval called microstonia runtime engine or something along those lines (i'm in the middle of transferring all my mp3s to cdr so i can't check)which i downloaded based on a recommendation here that i think fits the bill
its barely music but oddly beautiful at the same time
