For three full years now I've been semi-daily posting a music recommendation in a big long thread, but it turns out 300-post threads kinda break Mastodon, so I have to restart the thread every so often

What I'm listening to today: "TR-909 & TR-727 Backyard Beat", Zap Danger
It is the 90s and there is time to roller hover cyber blade through floating freeways passing through a glowing city where the buildings seem to be made of ephemeral light. Downtempo dance music for old drum machines and modern guitar pedals. Look quickly at the start of the video to see a sweet adorable baby (Elektron Analog Drive pedal) and also a sweet adorable baby (cat).
What I'm listening to today: "Combination #7 ( • | 6 | • | 2 | 4 | 5 )", Mark Fell
Violins tuning up for five minutes. Sliding down the gullet of a giant greebly alien. We could talk about "drone" or we could talk about music for ritual purposes, it is the same thing, there is a part of us religion seeks to wake up but which music stimulates directly and so religion uses music. Drone cuts out the middleman. No spirituality just ॐ.
Jim O'Rourke is somehow involved here.

What I'm listening to today: "31564132452132131652131", 3121534312
The quietest of quiet drone ambient, a breath on your neck, empty room noise, except the room is an uncanny horror space. This seems to have been more an attempt to make a cool glitch video with atmospheric sound (this YouTube account has many such videos) than to make a piece of music but I like experiencing, analyzing this sort of ambiance as music. It's fun to pick apart the choices of frequencies.

What I'm listening to today: "Olson"
This is a Boards of Canada song being performed on a DEC PDP-1 from 1959. The PDP-1 doesn't have sound, but it does have front-panel light bulbs for debugging, so they tapped the voltage from four of the the light bulb on/off signals and routed them directly to speakers. They then run a program that toggles the light bulbs at audio rate to create square waves.
Arrangement by Joe Lynch, PDP-1 paper tape load operation by Peter Samson

@mcc gee, wow, how far player pianos have come from the 1800s to the mid 1900s. Imagine what theyll look like in the future of the year 2000!

What I'm listening to today: "Remnants", Waxlimbs
My favorite live band in Toronto doing a kind of epic prog-rock King Crimson thing. When my wife first played this I seriously assumed it was from the 70s. Sound monoliths with walls of silence in between. Live these folks wear bird masks and alternately trade vocals between the three non-drummer members and sing in three-part harmony

…and if u r in Toronto you can see them Saturday in a tiny bar https://tenforward.social/@lexfeathers/115351152319315383

What I'm listening to today: "Energizer", pOW
xm tracker file from 1999. Wonderful 1980s future feel, skittering beats that aren't jungle but which a jungle head would appreciate. Music for the hypest rave ever held in Graal Online. Some mod files try to transcend the "cheesy" medium with sample work but this just leans into it, it is going to make the best fricking piece of music it can with the timbres available to it, dancing naked in the rain like no one is watching

@sinbad personally I like to call re-boosting and bumping threads with public visibility "the invisible hand of the algorithm" 😎

Thanks for all the boosts you lovely folks! I can’t promise I won’t re-boost this myself in a few days like the terrible shill I am 😛
