A menagerie of styles tonight, going from minimal electronic to low-fi acoustic to noise. I was especially pleased to play two tracks from artists who have sent me their work: asher, who pointed me to his composition “for c.”, available for download from term ; and Thanos Chrysakis, who recently sent me three CDs of […]

Because of some feeling under-the-weather on Wednesday night, there was no sigtronica this week. I did just get back from Manhattan and Brooklyn this weekend, however, with some new music to share.

I paired that with a “recent” electronic work by Xenakis, entitled “S.709”. With some newer electronic work, this featured a spattering of […]

Some old works on vinyl tonight, with pieces by Babbit, Oliveros, and Lucier. Great stuff, and I’m not sure if it’s available on CD (at least I doubt these particular performances are available). With bracketing by newer tracks from Merzbow and Tsunoda Rice 1 by Merzbow. Houjoue. Dirter Promotions. Sine Music (A Swarm of Butterflies […]
