“I think that this kind of sense of time has to do with getting away from the earthly sense of direction which goes from birth to death, in other words, like developmental form, and has to do with static form and moving up into, by up I mean like vertically, as in Vertical Hearing, moving, then, up through the sound of a chord or the sound of a tamboura or the sound of an interval that’s sustained, using this to create a drone state of mind as I described. By using this to create a drone state of mind, it provides a means toward achieving a state of meditation or an altered state of consciousness that can allow you to be more directly in touch with universal structure and a higher sense of order. And that once one achieves this kind of state of consciousness, in order to maintain it, one is not trying to get back down to the earthly level and get back involved with directional, climactic form, developmental form, one wants to stay in this more static state. The drone constants are very supportive and allow you to use them as positioning points of reference, to remain aloft, so to speak, in this special state of consciousness and awareness.”

“This edition of The Morning Concert features Parisian composer Eliane Radigue. Host Charles Amirkhanian explores Radigue’s background as a student of Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry, her compositional technique involving synthesizers and tape recorders, and her life as a composer and Tibetan Buddhist. Radigue discusses the compositional and performing processes involved in her “combinatory” music, and explains how she has adapted to the lack of acceptance of her music in Paris. Radigue performs two pieces live in the studio: Chry-ptus and Triptych. This radio performance constitutes the world premiere of the first and third movements of Triptych”

Part I

Part II

Bleak as hell new run of distortion ritual from the endlessly fascinating Steven R. Smith. The Soft Abuse write up hits it when it says “Fushitsusha and High Rise with Popul Vuh and Flying Saucer Attack”, but I like to keep in mind that Smith is a L.A. resident, and that, for me, really brings it home. If you’ve seen the city at night, then you know what I’m talking about. For sure the heaviest pro-psych, stoned-out work we’ve heard from Smith, although you could draw some comparisons to ‘Crown Of Marches’ from a couple of years back, but with way more electric noir and a few mainline organ/percussion blow outs. Apparently the first in a proposed 3 part series entitled ‘Ceremony’… if the other two run as deep into mountains of phase & feedback fuzz as this disc then the whole thing is just gonna be MASSIVE. Pick it up over at Soft Abuse.

You got this? Cus if not, you need it. Definitely on my top ten list from 07, probably my all time favorite Sublime Frequencies release. (thats obviously subject to change due to the high volume of top jams that come out of that label) Impossible to find now, or, if you do find it forget about paying a reasonable price. Hope you dig..pass it on.

From Sublime Frequencies

“Group Inerane is the now sound of the Tuareg Guitar Revolution sweeping across the Sahara Desert and inspired by the rebel musicians that started this music as a political weapon used to communicate from the Libyan Refugee camps in the 1980s and 1990s. Spearheaded by the enigmatic guitar hero Bibi Ahmed, Group Inerane has been together for several years and carries the rich tradition of Tamachek guitar songs for another generation. These ten tracks are a combination of amplified roots rock, blues, and folk in the local Tuareg styles at times entering into full-on electric guitar psychedelia. This music is performed with two electric guitars, a drum kit and a chorus of vocalists. The recordings were captured live in the city of Agadez in the Republic of Niger. Group Inerane was also featured in the Sublime Frequencies DVD “Niger: Magic and Ecstasy in the Sahel”. Recorded by Hisham Mayet, this is the second Sublime Frequencies Vinyl Release. 180 gram vinyl, full-color gatefold jacket, and limited one-time pressing of 1000 copies.”

We just had a chance to peep the awesome ‘My Name Is Albert Ayler’ doc which you should for sure hunt down and zone out to. This track is taken from that MASSIVE 9 track Ayler box set that Revenant did a couple years back.
