Check out Landing, my latest track in the music section.
Also, check out a hilarious way to learn how to shred on a guitar, at The Guitar Shred Show. Even if you have no interest in learning to play, it’s a fun little cartoon that you can play with the keyboard. Enjoy!
Peggy Snow is a voice from another place. Far away sounding tracks with ethereal vocals, relaxing but will have you on edge at the same time.
Great big breakbeats meet obscure samples from 60’s pop music. I wouldn’t classify this as dance music, but it definitely has that ‘groovy’ feel.
A dash of Hearts of Space, a pinch of industrial, and a generous helping of pure weirdness. I suppose this could only be classified as Ambient Experimental Space Rock. Maybe? These guys are definitely worth a listen.
_11.26.05 // There’s a new track in the music section called Landing. And for todays album:
I don’t even know how to begin to describe Stellamara, other than simply beautiful. Star Of The Sea is a moving album, full of lush soundscapes that evoke a peaceful sense of exploration. From the website:
Their music incorporates medieval European, Persian, Arabic, Indian, Turkish and Balkan with subtle electronic textures. The result is a sublime new level of mystery, beauty and depth.
Definitely give this one a listen!
Three great links for today. The first is DJ Keltech, a turntablist DJ who likes to play dressup while doing his thing. A great set of videos, especially check out the star wars vid. Second is a video of a guy called Kid Beyond, an Ableton Live user who creates entire songs with his voice. Make sure you have broadband for this one. Next up is Extreme Music, an awesome flash site that provides listenable (not downloadable) music in a variety of styles. Classical, electro, world, and just about everything else are represented here. Click away and have fun!
I have a horrible confession: I like Lost. My wife got me hooked on it, and it is interesting I must say. There are so many story lines going on at the same time, and they’re all really wierd story lines. You have your 47 (47! – Beth???) people stranded on an island due to a plane crash, with all the interactions between the different personality types (the doctor, the mysterious woman, the jerk, the rock star, etc) PLUS: there’s something out in the jungle. Something big. No, something HUGE. It tears down trees. On top of that there are polar bears on the island and a strange man in a suit who hangs out at the treeline and disappears into the jungle every time someone sees him. Also, theres a distress call emanating from the island thats been playing for sixteen years. Like I said – wierd. This is the best show I’ve seen since The X-Files. Now you may be way ahead of me here, but understand – I’ve never actaully seen the show before this week. My wife ordered the dvd’s from Netflix and I’m only four episodes into the series. But rest assured, I will catch up. Alright, I’m going to go watch some more Lost now…
DnB Heaven! This album features an excellent sound, top notch beats and well chilled grooviness. This is the way dance music should be done.
