vuzhwow. i actually did something music related this weekend.
i mastered the last drone forest full-lengther that i finished before the crush of real-life hassle destroyed my creative vibe back at the beginning of '04. ok, mastering isn't really creative per se, but i'm working up to that. it's been more than a year since i've really completed any kind of music at all.
i have been plodding ahead with loads of new code at the website, and all the updating there really inspired me to finally finish up that album.
i rather doubt i've got it finished yet... mastering is often a very long involved process for me.
over the weekend i finally won a Line 6 Pod on ebay... i've been looking for one at a good price, since they all go used at very close to the same price they sell for new. i got one at 200 dollah with a footswitch and "podstand"
expect EVERYTHING to be distorted in the near future.
it'll be all moog, all distortion! bahh hah ha ha ha ha ha ha!
actually, to be quite honest, i have thought about exploring the noisier side of abstract music lately. if anything, such a move might garner an upswing in positive response. the ambient community seems fairly ho-hum about my music, perhaps about everything. noise fans are fairly excitable. at least it seems so to an outsider. so maybe a distorto-moog album WOULD be a good idea.

3. there is no 3.
5. I know nothing about 'the noise scene' (assuming there is one) but a distorted moog LP sounds like a good idea.

Date: 2005-05-02 11:54 pm (UTC)1. i think of abstract music on the same terms as abstract painting. its sounds and structures have no direct analogue between music or natural sounds and structures... any correlation is symbolic.
i had been looking for a term to accurately describe most of what my music is, and "abstract" is the closest i can come to. i don't really do ambient music (just ask any ambient fan who listens to my music and says it's noisy) -- i don't really do noise either. i hesitate to outright say my music is experimental, because often i have a clear idea of what i'm doing, and know what the output will be, i'm not necessarily experimenting, although sometimes that IS the case.
2. Yes'm. finished in '03, just like the rest.
3. well then.
5. almost certainly.

Bernard Parmegiani (although he's pretty solidly in the academic experimental league)
Jeph Jerman (sometimes)
that one Autechre album flirted with abstraction...
Hafler Trio (sometimes... often they're more surrealist)
uh... drone forest?
it's probably not really a genre, just a bastardization of one.
