Top 10 most read posts of the past month, during which there were 33: (1) Joshua Treble‘s new new wave (or is it post post punk?) guitar + electronics; (2) the madrigal cumulus that is the work of Spheruleus (aka Harry Towell); (3) the drones of Cinchel harboring illusions; (4) the sea-worthy drones of Radere; (5) the light-infused, metaphoric, fringe-venturing instrumental hip-hop of Barcelona’s Outra G; (6) Finnish downtempo; (7) how a drone is like a sausage wrapper (proposed parallel resulting from a listen to new work by Benjamin Dauer); (8) a consideration of what constitutes “digital embouchure” (resulting from a listen to ambient trombone work by Mystified); (9) sci-fi noise from Lesser; (10) and a considerartion of the contemporary koan “Does All Work and No Sound Makes Jack a Dull Typist?” (related to the keyboard recordings associated with a great Windows shareware tool called WriteMonkey).
The most read post of both the last 60 and 90 days was John Kannenberg‘s memorial to slain Egyptian musician Ahmed Basiony.
