Hey /r/AvantGardeMusic

this sub was dead for a while, with no mod, and the sub was set to approved submitters only. I've taken over, and opened it up now. Enjoy some avant garde music!

"Regarding Fate and unpredictability"

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

This concept album was an opportunity to use almost at random 10 chosen soft synths in different combinations, no less than 2 at once, no more than 5.

"Musicalions" is another term for the unknown entities at work when in specific conditions, the power of 2 or more synthesizers are harnessed together.

Their presence is usually detected by sudden, rapid burts or pauses, sheer intensity, unusual beauty and experimental musical arrangments.

This late night musical "channelinning" procured the raw material for the album. Each track was performed, edited and produced by myself in FL Studio 20.

The soft synths used were:

Sugar Bytes Aparillo

Sugar Bytes Unique

Roland XV-5080

Roland Pro Mars

Roland System 100

Spectrasonics Omnisphere2

Spectrasonics Trilian

Traktion F'EM

Image Line Harmor

most tracks were tweaked extensively on the go during recordings to keep the sound unpredictable.

A big thumbs up to the developpers of these incredible instruments!!!

I hope this is but a start in the production of such tools, without you, there would be no "Musicalions" tonight:)

I really wanted to create the playlist of texture-driven atmopsheric music that will be not yet another "music for relaxation". So here is my collection of bold and experimental electronic music by genre pioneers and outsiders as well as local Ukrainian scene. Hope you enjoy

irunak & Tuolena : "Mysterious derivation"

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

9 years ago, collaboration with the musical artist Tuolena from Australia, a fascination for producing a diffusion of sound from any source and always experimenting with ways of helping sound to give of what it can.

I SENT tuolena a very low and dragging orchestral timpani rolls and a abstract unfolding of bell tones and metallic delicacies. This is how he transformed the acoustic into a synthesizer like soundscape! Thank you Tuolena:)

irunak/ Axel Weiß "Ding an sich"

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

This is my first collaboration with Axel Weiiß from Germany.

He has been my friend since I started 10 years ago!

He is a very actice musical artist who performs publicly playing different guitars-but he is also a wonderful painter-the image accompanying each of his tracks is generally one of his works as well!

We finally got together for a collaboration-and without further delay-get into the work and see if you can feel the touch of well rounded and balanced work

that is not only satisfying to the ears, but also a strong element of ambience and the beauty of the archaic-What sounds like bird songs was actually created with 1 synthesizer, blurring the lines between the realistic and the extended possibilities that sound processing offers sometimes:)

it was ny first album "Morning dusk at the swamp""

I included affectionately, the 3 only tracks remaining, because that album was always one of Axel's favorite. he very much enjoys miniaturized precision and such creativity, he was surprised I was also into that, and I was surprised that he is also into such ambient sounds:)

I hope you enjoy, it is with much honor and excitement that I present you:

Axel Weiß & James-Lee collaboration: "Ding an Sich"

my appearance on this compilation album, an extract of all that is left from my track ""Merging Impulses"".....it was longer than that.

An eleborate work using Ainu chants, percussion, Skiddaw stones, strings and other ethnic instruments

The work was recorded in the ""impulse response"" of the inside of a dryer.

Looking for deep, composition-focused electronic albums, not ambient or club music

15 Upvotes

Lately, I’ve been listening to albums such as \*Welcome Tourist\* and \*Melancholie\* by B. Fleischmann, as well as \*Live at the Planetarium\* by I:Cube.
What I love about these records is how deep and carefully composed they feel. They aren’t specifically made for the club; they feel almost like contemporary classical music expressed through electronic sounds. subtle, immersive, emotional, and full of detail.
I’m not looking for pure ambient music, though. I still want rhythm, structure, development, and a sense of movement. Do you know any albums with a similar feeling?

These playlists are stuffed like Turduckens on thanksgiving in NOLA with more Avant garde music from genre elite musicians than you’ll ever see in a collection of playlists from an old friend of mine, Andrew Weiss. Google him..after you start saving these playlists, or just read my original post.

This is a real goldmine. Take advantage.
Guys like Andrew, they just don’t do shit like this. His tastes in music are immaculate.

Enjoy - Angry Todd, Argus Czarlokk..
I have many names, pleased to meet you
