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.

@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

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

What I'm listening to today: "Fre", Coltren
1997 minimalist dub. As hardcore as it's possible for a thing as quiet as this to be. None of these sounds sound like "instruments"; it's all incidental line hiss and choppy cutoff noises. Makes me think of cavernous rooms full of poorly-lit machinery linked by cramped walkways, pistons casting strange shadows as they pivot. Intently pumping away to some unclear purpose

What I'm listening to today: "Big Ideas"
"Nude" was one of those songs Radiohead performed live for years before putting on an album, as if struggling to figure out the definitive version. IMO, *this* is the definitive version: James Houston "remixing" it on a collection of obsolete computer hardware. Run a motor, like the one in a scanner, at different speeds and the rotation makes different tones. Send PCM voltages to a hard drive motor and you can make scratchy voice

What I'm listening to today: "Abandon", Tristan Baldi
Super weird electronic downtempo on the Dirtywave M8 handheld tracker. Starts with huge creepy FM swells, and beats that sound as if they were dropped from a great height, and then just sorta goofs around with giant looming cyberpunk vibes for a few minutes. Guitars that sound like something Id Software would have shipped in 1992. I'd use the term "playful" if this didn't all feel so sinister

What I'm listening to today: "Xenomorpher Gets Its Groove On", James Collins
One thing I love about this particular type of modular synth jam is you can repeat a single sequence of like 5 or 8 notes indefinitely and as long as you screw with the timbres enough it seems to be continuously changing. Here a constrained eurorack repeats a single note sequence with a non-repeating, chaos-driven LFO used to pulp the sound in different mysterious ways. It is a good groove

What I'm listening to today: "THESE STATIC TRANSMISSIONS", AMULETS
This is an ambient tape artist I rather like, recording a submission for the NPR "Tiny Desk Concert" open call in 2017. He did not get in¹ but the YouTube submission endures. Drone piece in a suitcase setup containing two tape machines and a series of mysterious metal boxes, one of which appears to be handbuilt into an Altoids tin. Sound of a forgetting

¹ "Tank and the Bangas" won. They're pretty good.

What I'm listening to today: "Pep Talk", Bahamadia
I know Bahamadia from her work with Roni Size, but then Machinegirl linked this track on Bluesky and like geez, I guess should have been paying more attention to Bahamadia's solo work! This is from her album "BB Queen". Y2K jungle, dense wordplay, an exercise in the tightest syllable packing possible, immaculate vibes like crisp autumn wind.

What I'm listening to today: "Augmatic Disport", Autechre
"Untilted" is the album that fits most strangely into the arc of Autechre's discography. It's pretty much a 70-minute onslaught of dense, ever shifting robot breakbeats. It does have rewards within and I like this one track that has a little narrative arc. These robots are up to something. They are acting with purpose. What are these robots doing
Woke up today thinking about this album because of a reason.

What I'm listening to today: "Dark Space", Mr. Nogatco (Kool Keith)
Did Dr. Octagon really die in 1999? A man appeared in Nashville in 2006 claiming to be him, who was generally acknowledged to be a fraud; but there is another theory, that Octagon survived, his body rebuilt, and afterward lived in hiding in Phoenix, performing experiments on alien bodies recovered from spaceships crashed in the Arizona desert.
A dark hypnotic groove I was thinking about this morning:

What I'm listening to today: "CSIRAC" / "Delete", Ninajirachi
CSIRAC was Australia's first computer, and the first known computer to ever play music. Ninajirachi is an Australian EDM producer who voices her own songs and has a really messy room. Can I double dip today? I just really like this two song sequence of her going completely to the wall with chopped up experimental production followed by this second song that's just hyper hyper hyper pop

Breakcore/jungle for waking up. Nice synths. ⚠️Photosensitivity warning⚠️ on the video. Punk was the music of youth because the barriers to entry were so low, anybody could get a guitar and learn some chords. Now guitars and drumsets are kinda expensive and gen Z is downloading DAWs and turning out this incredibly satisfying breakcore in enormous quantities and posting it on YouTube accounts with their Mii as avatar

What I'm listening to today: "Continuum 1" Nala Sinephro
Mind-expanding jazz and floaty beep sounds. Chill but pressured, a dream coming over your consciousness like a cloud covering the landscape. What I really like in music is semi-non-repeating beats and the genres that give me that are (1) the thing I've been trying not to call "IDM", and (2) this type of jazz
I got this from an Algorithm and don't know this musician. Apparently she scored Benny Safdie's UFC movie?

What I'm listening to today: "I have found her...", Some1
1998 sample tracker tune so laid back it's practically an OSHA hazard. Eleven minutes long but uses the entire runtime, you just kinda let it run in the background and it surprises you every so often. You kinda get the sense you're listening to a jam session, one person fiddling with a keyboard and looper & someone else with an MPC. Lo-fi hip hop to sit by the side of the road in a stalled-out car in the rain to.

What I'm listening to today: "jazz jungle mix at Japanese rice field", Takuya Nakamura
Nakamura is the composer of Sega's Virtua Fighter, the original Lumines and four of its sequels, and Meteos (though Meteos and some of the Lumines sequels with collaborators). In this video he goes out in an literal rice field with a Pioneer deck and a literal trumpet, and spins drum & bass with occasional trumpet solos. Unbelievably charming

Bel pezzo di Carlini, tocca dirlo.
Ora, il capitalismo è brutto (direi che da queste parti su questo siamo mediamente d'accordo) ma possiamo parlare ancora di capitalismo in casi del genere?
Tecno-turbocapitalismo oligopolistico? Boh?
Bolle speculative dove determinate società fanno i picciuli con le imprese che seguono il trend senza ottenere un valore reale, come i pischelli che investono in Labubu (solo che forse i pischelli ci guadagnano)

@uriel aggiungo una postilla sulle istanze italiane però: in parte sono anche d'accordo, ma d'altro canto credo che non sia tanto un discorso di derive cattocomuniste, quanto un problema di "linee editoriali" con organizzazioni e struttura, cose che comunque richiedono tempo e lavoro che è complicato spendere su base volontaria (pure se ci si vuole fare due lire tra donazioni e altro, che per me ci sta tutto - salvo pretese di purezza e santità)
