Microsound

Monday, October 7, 2002

So I’ll be playing a set as The Clearing Stages during Cross Product 3 — Saturday, October 19th.

In preparation, I’ve been listening to a few other microsound composers. (Microsound is a genre of electronic music built upon very spare, minimal structures, sort of ultra-ambient sonic explorations often involving glitch elements: clicks, pops, high-frequency feedback, and such.) Right now Taylor Deupree’s “Occur” is coming out of the old Alesis Monitor Twos. Earlier I had on Tetsu Inoue’s “Psycho Acoustic” and “Waterloo Station,” and yesterday afternoon I took in Vladislav Delay’s albums “Entain” and “Multila” (both of which I highly, highly recommend). And, of course, I’ve been enjoying Mille Plateaux’s “Clicks & Cuts 2” compilation (featuring a very nice track by AMODA Digital Showcase musician Tomas Jirku) for some time, now.

If you feel like checking out some new unusual music, maybe think about giving these guys a listen. And come out to the show on Saturday.
