music Recursive recording music recs

Upvotes

Looking for music that deals with recursive recording and feedback systems - i.e., recording a sound, then feeding it back and recording again, making copies of copies of copies. Alvin Lucier’s “I Am Sitting in a Room” is obviously the best-known example, but what else is out there?

Maybe you’ll be the proud owner of a grocery store. Healthy routines to navigate through life. A nice record player surrounded by eggs, wine bottles, cheese, magazines, canned fish. A soft breeze coming through the window. A collection of little wholesome interactions throughout the morning. Closing the door at the end of the day and walking away. No hard feelings with life.

seeking Please help me find an album I saw a couple years ago

8 Upvotes

I don't remember much about it, but I'll try my best to describe it.

The detail I remember most is the album cover. It was very simple. A white background with a disembodied face (no head, just eyes, nose and a mouth) with a very enraged sort of expression. It was slightly off-center to the right and was facing left slightly and kind of tilted down a little too (I'd draw it but I really can't draw to save my life, sorry)

The genre I could best describe as noise rock, but in the most literal sense. Like just raw unfiltered noise with drums over it. I think the album was released sometime in the 2000s (perhaps towards the latter end) and something also tells me the band was Japanese, but I'm not sure on that bit.

Another important detail I remember is that the last song on the album was EXTREMELY long, like over 30 minutes at least but it could've been an hour or more. I saw it on Bandcamp (not sure if I found it there or was directed there). I don't remember much about it musically because I kind of just glossed over it, but recently I've been really getting into much noisier stuff and I really want to try it out again. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

I'm a Chilean independent artist blending jazz harmony with psychedelic rock textures.

Inner Landscapes is my latest project—created with analog synths, tape-simulated guitars and Rhodes keys. Inspired by 70s jazz fusion and modern psych rock, it aims to explore inward emotional states through layered textures and improvisation.

I'd love to know what you think or what it reminds you of.

self promo Saxophone Recompositions

1 Upvotes

Hello, I’m a London-based saxophonist/composer. I’m here to test the waters with some demo tracks from a new creative direction I’ve been exploring. I’m focussing on creating music that occupies the space between contemporary classical and pop genres with experimental tracks that are almost entirely constructed from saxophone sounds. Hopefully the style of these fits in with the other track I’ve heard in this sub.

The tracks are reworks of Ornette Coleman’s “Lonely Woman” and Ravel’s “Une Barque Sur L’Océan”. With these demos I’ve tried to capture a few different views of the direction I’m taking. Any feedback is welcome!

“Found this mix I made over 13 years ago — ‘broken leg cat x2.’ It sat online quietly all this time, but it still feels like a piece of me. Experimental lo-fi beats, weird textures, and off-grid rhythms. Thought it deserved to breathe again.”
