smooches

Fluidsynth with the Yamaha piano soundfont from http://zenvoid.org/audio.html. My mouth. A zoom H2 personal recorder.

This was almost a mefi music challenge piece, but I messed up but liked where it went anyway.

(Get Flash to see the track player.)

Crikey. I'm not sure what to make of this. Sounds like the background to an escape scene.

idiopath, your music leaves me in a dilemma.

I listen to a lot of music that most people would consider too noisy (Pig Destroyer and Imminent Starvation for example).

What you make is as far removed from what I listen to as Imminent is to, say, Robert Johnson. So I ask myself, if I can enjoy both of those, why can't I enjoy idiopath's noise? Surely I can make the conceptual jump - after all, I GET that the sonic and (a-)rhythmic dissonance is the point. There must be something wrong with me!

I've been thinking about it pretty hard and here's my theory: I live bang in the middle of a very noisy city, in a place where it is impossible to escape noise at any time of the day. I'd be willing to kill live humans for an hour of perfect silence each day. So when I play your music, all I hear is the white noise and rhythmless (on the surface) dissonance that I am surrounded by all the time.

I guess what I am saying is, I enjoy your music in theory (somebody's gotta mess around with what we consider musical), and maybe someday I'll be able to enjoy it in practice too. ;)
