Drone 925 by C. Reider

I just uploaded a track to SoundCloud from my 1998 collaboration with the Implicit Order. It’s a nice mix of noise & calming ambience… one of my favorite tracks from that project.

Mix!

Monday, 01 January 2010

I am the DJ I yam what I yam.
Don’t turn around no, don’t turn around.

Uh. Here’s a mix I did of some minimal techno, and industrial, and other stuff, some of which informed my Electret Quintet project. I hope you like it.

You can download the whole thing at 320kbps at the Soundcloud page for this mix:

More best of 2009

Thursday, 01 January 2010

Given yesterday’s post about the best free downloadable albums of 2009 I should also make mention of a couple of incredible albums that came out last year that aren’t free, and you can’t download. Both I list here are by underground artists, if you choose to buy them, you’ll be buying from the artist directly, and you’ll be making the world a better place, not to mention giving yourself the gift of some great music.

Michael J. Bowman – Psychic Borderland
Unequivocally one of my absolute favorite albums of the year. Brimming with a kind of hallucinatory melancholy coupled with catchy hooks, this album could be compared with Grandaddy’s better work, but that just doesn’t do the thing any kind of justice. On this album you’ll hear beautifully textured, potent, heart-tugging, sculptural songs and even one seventeen minute long technicolor scrambled egg trip down the hellhole worthy of comparison to Nurse With Wound. The kind of imaginative recording on display here should reap Mike some kind of award. If I had one I’d fuckin’ give it to him. Congratulations Mike, aside from that one Beatles remaster I bought, this is hands down my favorite pop music of the year.

Mystified – Pulse Ringer Pieces
Mystified on vinyl. Do I need to say any more? I’m actually not sure I could add to the review I did back in January other than to say that I listen to vinyl a lot, and this lovely blue record found it’s way onto my turntable quite a lot during this last year.

If I were made of money, I’d buy both of these for everyone reading this. But I’m not, and they’re really not very expensive so I hope you’ll buy them. Do it for me!


Gurdonark and I

Sunday, 08 August 2009

I had a chance to meet the underground musician Gurdonark in person last weekend. Here’s a photo of us hanging out at night in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado!



Gurdonark, in case you’ve forgotten, was a contributor to the popular Vuzh Music ambient release by C. Reider and Friends Long Defeat Variations.

You should also check out his really great solo release “Seven Virtues“, which I reviewed on this blog in January.

Dani

Thursday, 07 July 2009

While I did not know Dani or Will, I had frequently encountered Celer’s activities in the same places I promoted my music and found out about new music in the underground , so I count them among my contemporaries.

My thoughts and sympathy for Will.

PBK/C. Reider collab Now Available

Tuesday, 07 July 2009





Lumpy thinks those CDs look pretty cool.

I’ll be emailing Paypal requests to people who requested to be in line for one of these discs…
There are a handful of discs still available, if you want one, you had better act quickly.

These are hand-numbered in a limited edition of 120 in a slimline DVD case with full color inner and outer sleeve, not sealed.

European customers are directed to get their copies directly from the label Impulsy Stetoskopu (myspace link) …

Otherwise, please check out the page at Vuzh Music for PBK / C. Reider’s new collaboration Discorporate, which includes short sound samples of all tracks. Here’s that link: PBK / C. Reider – “Discorporate” at Vuzh Music

Officially a Dare

Friday, 07 July 2009

In the interest of hilarity:

I dare you to use these samples in some sort of composition.

First, a photo for inspiration:
gillettepurple

I noticed that the YouTube video of “Jim Gillette hits an insane scream!“, if paired with its reverse, is essentially a kind of sine wave.

Here is a loopable sample:
Jim Gillette Sine (10.6 MB)

Here it is + 48 halftones:

Gillette Sine + 48 (678 kB)

and plus 72 halftones:

Gillette Sine + 72 (169 kB)

DARE!
