It's All Gone Weird

Adam Bohman "Music and Words" - A fine collection of tracks on this release, covering most of Adam's techniques and approaches to experimental sound/music. This was originally released as a CD on Paradigm Discs in 1999 and then reissued (again by Paradigm, on CD) in 2013. The CD is still available from Paradigm or you can buy the digital version on Bandcamp. https://adambohman.bandcamp.com/album/music-and-words-3 I first met Adam in London in 2003, a few years after the original version of this album was released, and then again in 2013, coincidentally when this album was reissued. Happy to say I am one of the recipients of his always entertaining "talking tapes". - W.A.Davison

  Time for an old favourite. I bought this album from Tom Cora in 1983 when he and Fred Frith were touring as Skeleton Crew and played a show at Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S. Both the performance and the albums I bought (including Art Bears! ) left a lasting impression on me and remain favourites to this day. "Cargo Cult Revival" by Tom Cora and David Moss is available from Klanggalerie - https://www.klanggalerie.com/gg351 There's not much online in terms of watching/listening but the Klanggalerie page has a couple of audio samples from the album. There's also this video - https://youtu.be/pKAkbtfdHkI - W.A.Davison

  Here's a video collab by my friends {AN} EeL (Neal Retke) and DJ Any Way (Gordon Way). I'm in a duo project with Neal called Eel Prongs . Gordon is in the FADE/DISSOLVE trio with me and David Story. This video just dropped on Youtube and Facebook yesterday and I'm diggin' it. Passing it along for your enjoyment. While we're at it. Here's the video I made with Neal (as Eel Prongs) last year for Austin's Resistor Fest. - W.A.Davison

    Two albums of early 80s lo-fi cassette culture from Tape Op magazine founder Larry Crane . "Craniostomy Vol. One" was compiled by Seymour Glass (Glands of External Secretion, Butte County Free Music Society, founder of Bananafish magazine) in 2016. "Craniostomy Vol. Two" was compiled by Larry Crane in 2022. Vol. One is a collection of short pieces and Vol. Two is two long-form works. https://lawrencecrane.bandcamp.com/album/craniostomy-vol-one https://lawrencecrane.bandcamp.com/album/craniostomy-vol-two Cover art for both albums is by Karen Constance . - W.A.Davison

They Lived "Hold Down By The North Sea" - https://afterhoursedenprostitute.bandcamp.com/album/they-lived-hold-down-by-the-north-sea-aep-t-031 One of my friends on ello, @nikthursday , posts and reposts a lot of interesting things. Yesterday, he reposted a couple of cassette releases from a tape label called Afterhours Eden Prostitute . I don't know anything about this label but everything I've heard from them, so far, has been quite good. I'm highlighting one of the releases here but do check out https://afterhoursedenprostitute.bandcamp.com/ for more goodness. - W.A.Davison

  Hi there! I'm W.A.Davison, experimental musician and artist ( www.recordism.com ). I have run numerous blogs in the past, my main one being The Organ Grinder's Gazette where I post about the activities of The Recordists (W.A.Davison and S.Higgins). Today, I decided to start a new blog, this one, mostly as a way to keep track of the music I'm interested in. I'm always exploring various sorts of "experimental music" - ambient, noise, sound collage, etc. - and I thought a blog would be a good way to document and list my favorites, new and old, with the added bonus that the list might be a way for other folks to discover some new and interesting sounds as well! I may or may not comment on my findings. Haven't decided on that yet. But it is not my intention to start a review blog. Maybe later I will decide to review what I find. For now, better to think of it like a list of suggestions - like the famous (infamous?) Nurse With Wound List. What's the Nurse
