Music

Sonic Reverence

 

Psychedelic folk music from the hills of western Gallacia, otherwise known as Portugal. Monumental, mysterious, and always moving, Sangre Cavallum is one of my favorite bands of the last 5 years! Listen, and be transported!

Dark, hypnotic and catchy Afro-Beat from the little known Karthala 72. Freak out, witch doctor style!

Christoph De Babylon, better known for his dark, ambient breaks and being one of the first Breakcore artists, doing a nice chill out-space out tune. Enjoy!

Halo Manash, audible mystics treading unknowing paths deep into the subconscious dreamscape.

Nordvargr, Sweden's heavy hitting Ambient-Industrial in one of his many forms. This time, himself. There will be more of this guy, for sure.

Lloyd Miller, who specialized in Persian music, teamed up with a Jazz ensemble in the 1960's to make a fine hybrid of the two styles. So relax, and have some brain food to help with the verbosity of the last post. More on Lloyd Miller

One of the great names in experimental music, Karlheinz Stockhausen's influence on today's music culture is both deep and far reaching. My introduction to Stockhausen actually came in the form of some old Ulver and Arcturus tracks where samples were taken from Stockhausen's Kontakte. Years later, on my travels around Germany, I got to catch a short film about the composer and his work in Leipzig. Since then, I've come to hear more and more of Stockhausen's, along with others, influence in popular genres such as Industrial, Rock, Electronic and Experimental music.

While his works certainly aren't for everyone, his influence is undeniable. So, enjoy the words of the man himself!
