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: "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: "Feelings", Fluxus MT
What if you just turned on all of the sounds at once

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

What I'm listening to today: "Gar Tīgh Bārad", Avin Ahmadi
Iranian traditional guitar piece originally by Siamak Aghaei. Slow and soft and sad, or not exactly slow, just unhurried, performed with expert control and incredible, overwhelming emotion. Usually in these posts I'm trying to figure out how to evoke in text the feeling of some strange timbre the musician has rigged but here all the feeling is in the performance
Music starts at 0:35.

What I'm listening to today: "【KORG】volca drum & Kaoss Pad ＆ NTS-1", Takeo Watanabe
Improvised alien skittering out behind a shed somewhere, while neighborhood birds try to outyell the whole production. It's interesting to try to reverse engineer where the sounds come from: The Tascam box is a portable recorder, the box in the center is generating sounds, the boxes on the right and left are effects but the left one has a touchscreen so he can play it like an instrument.

What I'm listening to today: "Junior Kickstart", The Go! Team
This is my favorite video on YouTube. The Go Team in their Gleeful Copyright Infringement Era doing a lovesong to 70s funk with a music video that's a love letter to 70s film, reverse-engineering the soundtrack to the most iconic New York story ever told. Everything you could ask for is here, suspense, tranquility, triumph— and horror.

What I'm listening to today: "the TV show", Kosuke Sugimoto and Takayuki Manabe
No no wait, THIS is my favorite video on YouTube. A beautifully plotted 2009 independent animation with an incredibly catchy, pseudo-chiptune original score that stands out by itself as a classic of circa-2010 glitchy "electro"¹.
This is the kind of thing you'll get the premise immediately but need to watch at least three times to fully Get it

What I'm listening to today: "Phuturum", Caitliff
The spaceship has these two winglike structures on the side, but it's a spaceship, you don't need wings in space. They're actually for launching smaller ships, the "wings" are hollow hangar spaces on the inside and terminate on two long launch rails. But if nothing's launching today you can grab a suit, sit at the end of the launch tunnel, stare down this tunnel open to space, see the great blue earth floating outside.

What I'm listening to today: "a m B", evadum
Slow quiet acid. Desktop performance on a Nintendo DS running Nanoloop 2 and some budget synth units from Korg and Roland. A short little bag of moods, like the soundtrack to something but I don't know what, it starts off what sounds like toy instrument sounds and then warmer more refined atmospheric stuff comes in. People walking through hallways intercut with shots of someone furtively flipping through folders in a drawer.

What I'm listening to today: "full version", Z777
A whole lot of synths at once, a kick drum being repitched for melody like the old 808 cowbells, overall a pleasantly overwhelming buzz. What I wrote in my notes was "warm all-enveloping construction sounds, like you just curled up in the middle of the cement mixer and took a nap" and I think that might make it sound white-noise-ier than it actually is but that's about how close I can get right now.

What I'm listening to today: "Handpan by Yuki Koshimoto"
The "handpan" is is a variation on the steel pan drum invented in Switzerland in 2000 and rapidly copied worldwide (the original inventors sold it as the "hang drum", but that name's trademarked; this 2011 video uses a Metalsounds Space Drum). Playing by hand rather than with sticks produces a broader range of timbres with a lot of fine control. I find this one, seemingly impromptu performance really beautiful.

What I'm listening to today: "瘋狂的陽光" / "Lunatic Sunbath", Deserts Xuan
I love this artist for a particular track named "Bao Bei" that *tore up* Chinese-language low power FM radio in the Bay Area around 2010. I would be skipping between college radio stations and be like, oh it's that song again! This is a good memory for me. Anyway here's her doing a kinda harder 90s rock thing, Lilith fair with an edge. I like the grungy bassline.

What I'm listening to today: "Atmosphere" (Jerome's Runway Dub), Kerri Chandler
French touch from New Jersey. House music the way it used to sound in 1998. When I dig a little bit I find out Kerri Chandler was a big deal in Jersey electronic music, produced over 100 records, ran a label. I had never heard of him until he came up on a playlist of vintage vinyl rips and I decided to dig a little. The world is an ocean we float atop and it just goes down and down and down

What I'm listening to today: "An Ambient Jam in 31 Tone Equal Temperament", The Creepy Silence
Western music is based on 12 tones, equally-spaced (on a logarithmic scale), which happen to come very close to "good-sounding" pitch ratios. There are some historical attempts at numbers other than 12.
Here, a launchpad rigged for 31-TET is used to perform 15 minutes of messy, engrossing, exploratory astral disembodiment music. Music for a power outage on a spaceship

What I'm listening to today: "Scandinavia", Billy Woods, ELUCID and The Alchemist
Woods and ELUCID just dropped an album under the name Armand Hammer and it's INCREDIBLE. Woods and clique have this idiom of slowed-down, format-breaking rap music and it gets better and more refined with each release. Parts of "Mercy" sound like early Portishead, other parts sound like nothing I've ever heard before. There's like 4 tracks on here I wanna link but here's some ominous piano

@oblomov eh ma non possiamo saperlo, se non viviamo duecento, cinquecento, 10.000 anni
Se ci aspettasse dietro l'angolo, dopo infanzia adolescenza età adulta matura vecchiaia vetustità illuminanza depressità vuoto rinascita falso nirvana nuova consapevolezza dimenticanza
E tutti i peccati errori rimpianti restano lì a roderci come tarli? O rinasciamo?
E in effetti oltre longevità immortalità c'è anche la rinascita (consapevole?), e magari il satori
