The point of these threads is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time.
Hey /daily/ I'm pretty new to Sup Forums and started filling out a calender for the rest of the year. What do you guys recommend?
Carter Butler
what do you like? any artists, genres?
Xavier Torres
What is EAI exactly?
Henry Allen
I'll listen to anything. I want to try and broaden my horizons in music
Easton Collins
Except for maybe really hardcore metal and punk.
Noah Miller
Electro-Acoustic Improvisation
Free Improvisation, usually associated with noise or drone and textures. I guess you could say it's basically improv with a greater focus on instrumental variety, conventional or not. In no way easy to get into, but here's an EAI release that I really liked recently: youtube.com/watch?v=YO5HeT-TNWY Good Morning Good Night (that one album that's a meme) is another famous example. I guess I would start with something quieter and simpler before getting into "let's destroy your ears" sounds, like this: phinery.bandcamp.com/album/--2 cathnor.bandcamp.com/album/wedding-ceremony
>randomly come across Laptop Battles while looking more into EAI's origins on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop_Battle how did I not hear of this
Mason Robinson
You could also look into /daily/-core if you don't want just my inbred taste
Gavin Baker
keep in mind about half those albums are just memes or unlistenable garbage
Cooper Barnes
>Except for maybe really hardcore metal
Chase Parker
we could try with ~melodic~ hardcore
that album was the only one even near my car stereo for months you could give it another try w/ dem boys >_>

Juan White
eh might as well just got back from counseling at camp, haven't had time to listen to music since it's no phones in front of campers.
A collection of uber-obscure American Primitive cuts just in case one needed a reminder that the genre exists outside the 10-or-so names that get thrown around. Of course, none here seem as skilled as the heavy hitters, but the loose nature of the "genre" allows for quite a bit of experimentation and varied inspiration, so the sound is all over the map--from more traditional folk guitar to Indian ragas accompanied by a tabla. 6.5/10
>Judee Sill - Heart Food (1973)
I do like Judee Sill a bit and can conceivably recognize her as one of the great songwriters and know that there are some deep layers here that reveal themselves over time, but how slowly and subtly it all comes. I've spent years now with her two studio albums and I can't say I've totally grasped everything going on there outside of some great arrangements, clever lyrics, and pleasant melodies. I know how thorough she must have been writing this album, but its sweetness verges on Disney soundtrack at times like near-eight-minute closer, "The Donor", until you crack its code, so to speak. She's Joni Mitchell for people with patience. I'm just going to have to spend more time. 6/10
>Randy Burns - Evening of the Magician (1968)
This is pretty great and Randy Burns nails some of the things that drew me to folk in the first place. The feeling here is palpable--he has a great ability to dictate the mood with some always-spot-on, meticulously selected melodies (all with truly perfectly paired faint orchestral arrangements in the background, mind you), if that's not too much of an abstraction to claim. It's so quaint and pleasant and never over-reaching in the same manner as some of the timeless folksingers like Seeger himself. Maybe that's some of the cultural appeal of folk music--this ability to stand outside of complexity (and time at its very best) just to make a heartfelt statement. 7.5/10
This film has already been talked about to no end through more lenses than you could imagine, and it's hard not to project interpretations on it due to its abstract representation of the psyche. Why does it have so many debated interpretations? The most obvious answer is because of some experimental, symbol-heavy, provocative montages throughout--most notably the bookended scenes--but also because Ingmar Bergman charts into some hazy territory regarding our understanding of this thing called the ego.
That's my take on it, at least. What's concretely here is the story of a successful actress that's given up on playing characters to the point where she refuses to speak altogether. She's hospitalized under the pretense of insanity and eventually retreats to a vacation home with her nurse caretaker with whom she develops a relationship. Every critic will inevitably point to the two lead characters here as two vague sides of a single entity, which is less-than-subtly suggested throughout the film: the nurse whose name translates to "Soul" and whose own sanity is violently challenged by a nihilistic worldview, and the actress who's disillusionment has driven her to non-action.
The common projection-interpretation of this film is a compliment to how well it represents this existential dread we all experience through varying degrees and manifestations in the face of mortality and insignificance--a common theme throughout Bergman's films. I'm reminded of Ernest Hemingway's A Clean, Well-Lighted place, which ends famously with the lines "Nada y pues nada y nada y pues nada." Both writers here fill their stories with modern, disillusioned characters without desire and characters who openly self-deceive just to avoid nothingness. 8/10

Is this poseurcore?

As far as film goes, yes. It's canon because it's good though.

You are into music because you want to make music and have that be "your purpose". But you can't. So instead you revolve you're life around analyzing the music that everyone else is making. Other people don't care about music that much, so they just listen to whatever. This angers you.
Jordan Moore

fug, I was wondering if people were getting notifications even though I don't publish my reviews. I don't wanna be spamming people, especially since my reviews are generally little notes to help me remember why I deleted an album.
Blake Wilson
No you gotta keep them, it's very nice going to a small unknown album and seeing a little note from you so I know what to expect of it more than just a genre tag yknow?
Austin Evans
oh yeah that post in the redpill thread good thing people in /daily/ already make music, and I'm very slowly working on it myself
>Miss Miracle - Walk On War >Dark Ambient So clearly the first sounds I can interpret is reversed audio clips, which is why I was uncertain going into this album-- being that reversed audio has a lot of internet cliches attached to them. I don't think I was able to get past that on the first track, but Let Down Your Pain's second half was a more interesting step in sound collage.
I think another issue I have with much of this is how much of the sounds droop all over each other like melted ice cream, which isn't unexpected of reversed audio. As much as I like ambient, some solid, tangible sounds are good for giving the music a bit more oomph. Adding a bit of that gives something like a 40 minute drone record some flavor-- the majority of the record is sinewy and thin, with nothing to balance it out unlike Acid Memories.
I like a lot of the different sources used in the majority of this, even under the same filters-- The B-side in particular, from For Valorie, is warming on me. An Angel Gets Its Wings reminds me of Klein - Only, in a good way, and is probably my favorite track. I guess that personal bias is what's keeping me from getting on board with the rest of the album, unfortunately. 5
>Jorge - True Friendship >""post-nightcore"" I'm really curious on hearing the sample sources for this, in however they've been manipulated from high-energy to space ambiance like this. 7
you dominate my notifications tbqh

I doubt anyone needs to see my lolicore reviews though lmao.
I'm hoping it'll get better once I clear out my backlog, I made multiple autistic lists and it's just bad.
Nolan Reed
It's on Soulseek
Cameron Sanders
I read the lolicore review you made today B-)
And once again my anger for the RYM mods came to me when I realized "Lolicore" is recognized as a real genre but not nightcore
Jaxon Wilson
The RYM genre queues are hell unless you're submitting some obscure regional folk music.
Ryan Lopez
Isnt lolicore just nightcore for people who smell like cum?
