Everything Electronica

[Deusdrum]

Thanks for the kind words LibbyScorp (I'll accept the compliment on behalf of everyone's that posted songs.) Please feel free to add anything you might fancy here as well.

Recent artist that I've liked pretty much everything I've heard from, Kassey Voorn (lot of house dj's and producers with the last name Voorn it seems, for some reason.)

I've loved (some) electronic music ever since the first synths began showing up on records by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Who , and of course one of the seminal groups: Tangerine Dream . After I found Bill Nelson in 1995 I saw (and heard! ) that he had been something of an experimental/electronica pioneer (along with duties as a minor rock diety).
I could go on , and I will add that I have a bit of my own music up on

some work I did with Arp X8 arpeggiator software and a Korg rack synth . Strictly for fun .

Oh, also some beautiful work by a departed friend on soundclick: The Shed Man , and also his other page Graeme Cammack , may he rest in space.

You read my mind, Dar!

I was intending to PM you about which Bill Nelson CD might have his most digital music. At this moment in time I have little to no interest in rock bands, the unplugged sound, etc.
My musical tastes are mainly digital produced in MIDI format (aka electronic music).

I would listen to Steve Hillage way back in my teens and thought he was one of the most exciting guitarist ever. Nowadays his guitar sound is minimal, devoting most of his time in computer music - the Digital Audio Workstation.
I have great respect for the man who has adapted to modern music and can still produce exciting, original, and innovating sounds.

So I'm now interested to know if Bill Nelson has done much computer music ?

(My internet credit is very low and youtube videos will drain what's left. I'll return to this thread next week.)

Cheers

You might like my stuff (maybe even some of the acoustic guitar stuff that has mutant sound effects on it) . The Arp X8 is an automated midi sequence generator that can do up to 8 channels at once. I spend time setting the individual patterns up and matching them to a patch (sound) on the Korg, and then let it rip : 8 tracks going with one touch of the midi keyboard .
Those are all several years old .


Anyway , the best thing is to just burn some compilations of Bill's stuff and mail them to you , assuming you have a cd player . Or maybe I could email
mp3 files. CD's would be easier . Much of his best work is guitar based , but don't let that detract from it's beauty.
Much is drenched in strange noises you aren't sure where they're coming from , and the EBow sounds from guitar are
stunning . He's been a 'one man band' for decades but only plays guitar as an actual instrument; otherwise it's all digital or midi .
He says all his bass playing is midi keyboard , and all his drums are samples. The richest palette of sounds around .

Thanks Dar & thistle for dropping by the thread. :)

Love Dead Can Dance, am an Ulrich Schnauss fan and have a Vibrasphere album which I enjoy; also have some Tangerine Dream that comes up on shuffle every so that i inherited though otherwise haven't taken the time to listen to though I know they're old school, did the music to the movie Legend which i do remember. Very enchanting and atmospheric, suited that movie perfectly.

Eno obviously though I tend to like more the bands etc. he works with though he has some great tunes also of course. Sphongle I've heard of lots but never got into for whatever reason.

Haven't heard of Bill Nelson though you two talking him up has convinced me to check him out. I'm also interested to hear your music Dar (and your friend's).

So I'll be back. I'll bring songs with me too next post.

I recommend the two albums by Moderat. They're are excellent.

I'm a huge electronica fan...recognize a lot of music people have put up.
My favorite band of all time is SoundTribe Sector Nine...STS9...Have been seeing them since 2000..and their shows are like a dream...esp. when they were still small...2000-2004..

Ahh what great shows..Here is a sample of their vibe..I'd always feel like exploding after one of their shows. They are true musicians/artists.

*Well-won't let me post the URLs even though I have more than 15 posts...It'll have to blow your mind later..

They play instruments but weave in the loops...etc...amazing to watch

*I didn't plow through the whole thread yet...somebody maybe already knows about them...If so, good for them..

If you care to...look up...STS9 - Ramone & Emiglio into Eb.. Groove TV

Early stuff-just amazing...by far the best shows I've seen...and that's quite a bit indeed
