Part instrument, part composition and part artwork, Bloom’s innovative controls allow anyone to create elaborate patterns and unique melodies by simply tapping the screen. A generative music player takes over when Bloom..."

January 07003 Bell Studies for the Clock of the Long Now By Brian Eno

1 recommendation

"This record has grown out of the Long Now Foundation's project - the Clock of the Long Now. This is an idea to create a working clock which will mark time for ten thousand years - not really because we need more clocks in the world, but because we need more encouragement to start contemplating the possibility of a distant human future. The Clock of the Long Now is an icon to long-term thinking. ..."

A Town Called Addis by Dub Colossus

1 recommendation

""A Town Called Addis" is an inspired collaboration between amazing singers and musicians in Addis Ababa covering Azmari and traditional styles as well as the popular singing styles of the 60s and 70s and Dub Colossus (Nick Page). The result connects the golden years of ethiopique beats (popular again thanks to the release of the critically acclaimed 'Ethiopique' compliation ) and ethiojazz with th..."

"Ambient soundtracks laced on a slowing evolving, calm nature imagery is the best description to this work; pump your speakers and start up your screen projector to submerge in this abstract and soothing work."

Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1

1 recommendation

"This was an interesting project. U2 and Brian Eno went into the studio and recorded soundtracks to movies that didn't exist, along with some other experimental and less-mainstream tracks. Includes "Miss Sarajevo" a duet with Luciano Pavarotti."

Switched-On Bach ~ Wendy Carlos

1 recommendation

"Wendy Carlos's Switched-On Bach is one of those rare novelty recordings that never gets boring. In the capable hands of Carlos, Bach's keyboard masterpieces sound like they were made for the otherworldly blurps, farts, and chimes of a Moog synthesizer. And, in a sense, they were. Bach's inventive music doesn't lose any of it's contrapuntal punch in these complicated arrangements and, novelties asi..."

Exposure ~ Robert Fripp

1 recommendation

"Exposure contains a kind of unspoken darkness within Fripp's choice of song structure, instrumentation and vocalists. The result is a series of music acts which twitch inside a skin of hybrid jazz-pop lotion, often transcending the 80's sound-picture into a kind of jazz vocal daisy chain, and yet always collapsing back into it. I happen to like the sound of alienation from time to time, Exposure d..."

Yamaha TENORI-ON

14 recommendations

"I've been hoping that a the electronic keyboard would one day evolve from the piano and wood/sampled acoustic instruments into a new instrument in it's own right. The Yamaha TENORI-ON( GBP 599, about $1200 September 2007) is that instrument. TENORI-ON--designed by Japanese media artist Toshio Iwai is a touch screen allowing you to "draw" your music. It features not only provide the control interfa..."

insen ~ Alva Noto, Ryuichi Sakamoto

1 recommendation

"Nicolai works directly with the piano sounds, dismantling Sakamoto's recordings with "surgeon-like precision" into micro loops; into their atomic elements. Starting with these sound atoms, he creates a new basis for form, compressing, floating, and rotating rhythm with harmonic sequences and melodic counterpoints, and laying it underneath the piano tracks. This makes insen appear more complex, tho..."

"Somehow at first listen the songs of "Before and After Science" felt like old favorites, some, perky, some quirky, some very relaxed like a fond memory of a perfect day."

SCOTT WALKER 30TH CENTURY MAN

1 recommendation

"Just beyond the world of pop stardom there is a creative realm in which Scott Walker inhabits, his followers are other wayward audio explorers like Beck, Jarvis Cocker, and David Bowie. "30th Century Man" attempts to give us a window into this rare sonic space. And yes, it's about the music."

Roxy Music: Country Life

1 recommendation

"Take a trip back to the days before the New Romantics, when Roxy Music created rocket fueled ballads which touch upon WWII songwriters. The Thrill Of It All, Out Of The Blue, Triptych, Casanova, Prairie Rose are prequels to songs later crafted by Nick Cave's Bad Seeds, Japan, Duran Duran, Talking Heads and others."

Achtung Baby

3 recommendations

"I grew up with U2, and "Achtung Baby" was probably the first album of theirs that I came to on my own (rather than through my parents' influence). This one's my favorite record of theirs 'cause it's DARK and romantic and sexy and weird. I had the hugest crush on Bono around the time of "Achtung Baby," but now I sort of regard him as the kind of vaguely hip, endearingly obnoxious uncle who you'd sn..."
