What I'm listening to today: "Just Abandoned My Self", Boris
Boris gets it. Brian Eno once said that heavy metal and ambient are adjacent genres because both are about "bathing yourself in sound". Boris really, really gets this. Have you ever heard a song so good you wished it could just go on forever? What if it could? What if it did?
Note: If you find a ten minute version of this song, that is the FALSE, AMERICAN version and you have been BETRAYED, by America.
What I'm listening to today: "Tonverk 1.1.0 - Mas Grainer / Boom Bap + Granular Synthesis", SNDCTRL
Elektron are the kings of DAWless/desktop sequencing, but they've never made a polyphonic unit until the Tonverk this year. If the YouTube synth community is any guide this landed with a wet thud, until they added a granular synth in an update and now everybody loves it. Here a net producer tries the new mode on some experimental hip hop and hits gold on the first try

What I'm listening to today: "Untitled", Berlin Dub Sessions
Dub techno uses the sonic palette of dub reggae to make something different, and this uses the sonic palette of dub techno to make something… surprising, a series of musical riddles, dense rhythms that overtake and trip over themselves. One for the crowd that likes minimal techno and listening to dance music on headphones. Turn up the bass.
From 2003.

What I'm listening to today: "friendly compounds", Lime68k
From a collection of unreleased tracks @1x1 dropped this month. Barrage of nonstandard scattershot beats and mysterious metal FM sounds. On this I imagine like you gave a bunch of four year olds instruments and they're just kind of going to town making joyful noise but the four year olds are all robots so all they can make is industrial space future sounds

What I'm listening to today: "Ondes Martenot + Montreal Assembly's Count to Five pedal", Light
Cross-century ambient music (or we're closer to Satie than Eno here, so "furniture music"?). A 1930s proto-synthesizer¹ arranged via the thing "guitar pedal" means in the 2020s (a microcontroller/computer in a small box with a foot interface). Slow cinematic score for establishing shots, sunbeams, people in dim cafes waiting for something
