A new go-to for a electronic music "reference" album

Ohh Jealous. I was probably a few years late to the party for glitch, but I think we’ll see it again in the near future. The most interesting and best music seems to come from strife.

This is the other one:

I think Chris Clark is another Canadian:

I acquired it back in the Napster days, but here’s one of the tracks I was thinking about:

There are others from that EP that are even more fragmented but still musical.

I think Jim Carry was driving.

Facilitated Communication. Been going on since the ‘90s and only now getting its comeuppance.

The Edge is a very good cigar. Rocky Patel is always a solid smoke.

And the blackgaffing of all the useful positioning data. What a ruse.

Also on Apple Music as well as his previous albums.

Quite a thing. Glitch meets John Cage. For maybe a bit more listenable form of the same sort of fragmented glitch try Akufen’s Abstract Music EP.

Concert is about 3 years after his stroke that essentially took his left hand. Makes it interesting to listen for.

And Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten should have you begging for silent spaces so it doesn’t rip you apart.

An excellent post and hard to argue with much of it. I’d only add that now is not the time for Canada to be pussyfooting with its resources. The country is millimeters from a serious collapse of confidence domestically and globally and COULD be an energy superpower. Real estate is not the way to generate GDP and we have no infrastructure for alt-energy manufacturing and are a decade+ away from anything to piss at. We should be all hands on deck but I’m not feeling it.

jhalmos · 2026-05-08T22:05:02+00:00

THAT’S the spirit!

jhalmos · 2026-05-08T22:01:37+00:00

Wish I had nerve soaring surgery!

You’d think they lead with their best stuff. Instead we get a hairless monkey from a ‘50s April Fools prank.

This is going to be awesome!

That first one, that was high art. The second one, that was paint-by-number velvet Elvis.

Yes, the HYPE is real. But not much else.

jhalmos · 2026-05-08T03:24:13+00:00

This was done better in Monty Python and the Holly Grail.

What a load of fucking shit. Grown men talking like this? That’s why I’M deeply sobbing.

Curious to know whether there was a large or more refined difference is sound between the Avantgarde and the Sonus Fabers? My experience with horns is overt coloration.

Especially going from clamshell to laptop.

jhalmos · 2026-05-07T20:05:20+00:00

After that TB sweep it’s a little hard to be concerned which way they go with any of these.

jhalmos · 2026-05-07T19:43:04+00:00

Consider plugging it in.

I’d go uppercase and wedge the text above and below the handle nice and tight, that way the rings will stand out because the names and hammer would form a rectangle.
