Cadavres Exquis

One of my favorite various artist tapes from the 80s is this one from the mysterious Chimik Communications in Montreal. The beautifully packaged "Cadavres Exquis"  cassette contains 21 tracks by well known underground artists such as Nurse With Wound, The Legendary Pink Dots, P16.D4, Konstruktivits, and Bene Gesserit, as well as lesser known but interesting experimental/industrial acts. I still own my cassette copy but don't play it anymore. I made a digital copy a few years ago. And speaking of digital copies...unbelievably, the download link on this Nostalgie De La Boue post from 2009 still works!! Grab it now!

It's All Gone Weird

  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...

irr. app. (ext.) + The Recordists

The current irr. app. (ext.) monthly digital single series sees our friend Matt Waldron resurrecting material from the long-defunct Nine Day Antler Society . I wrote about it back in March of this year and you can read that post here . The October edition of the series features a collaboration between irr. app. (ext.) and The Recordists . This is an odd one as The Recordists ( W.A.Davison and S.Higgins ) did not contribute any actual sounds to the recordings. Instead, Matt used some collaboratively written surrealist texts, authored by The Recordists, as the basis for four very funny sound pieces (funny odd AND funny ha ha). https://irrappext.bandcamp.com/album/2023-monthly-digital-single-ndas-revisited-october Needless to say, the other material in the October edition, and the entire series, is great and well-worth checking out! - W.A.Davison
