MeFi Music, I'd like to introduce you to some new friends--the tank drum and waterphone. I believe you already know another companion, the musical saw--or, as I like to call it, the acoustic Theremin.

Results: Methodological Considerations by askmeaboutLOOM

Turns out, a wall of text you can hardly pronounce and don't understand is easier to read in a single take when you sing it.

Track 3 from our new RPM Entry, we dive headfirst into the creepy-as-fuck territory. Special guest Fred on vox.

Presenting the opening volley from Demons of Gyrophonia's new album, for the 2012 RPM Challenge, Searching for Dual-Projecting Interneurons that May Contribute to Spinal Turtle Behavior. Previ ously.

Quite possibly the creepiest science paper ever.

O Canada by askmeaboutLOOM

And to close: you know it, you love it, we love it. That's why we did it properly. Please enjoy.

Island Home (Jersey (Bailiwick of)) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 16:30:59 -0800

In a truly avant-garde move, the last real gyrophoniation on Anthemic is an Anthem which isn't yet officially the anthem for the Crown Dependency it's supposed to represent. Also, does anyone know how such a beautiful island come to be the namesake of the Garbage State?

Meda Dau Doka (God Bless Fiji) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:58:40 -0800

Skipping the next track on the album, as it was the first to be posted here, we move to the nonsense version of the Fijian national anthem--the one in English. Mr. Prescott must have thought Fiji to be a much bigger, stronger, less who-gives-a-shit-worthy nation than it really is.

Aegukka (The Patriotic Song - Korea (North)) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:36:25 -0800

LYRICS: Well, our country's kind of shitty, But we love it anyway (We have no basis of comparison!) This is Anthemic.

Mongol ulsyn töriin duulal (National Anthem of Mongolia) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 01:24:57 -0800

I didn't know Ricardo Montalbán was a Mongol...

Marcia Pontifica (Pontifical Anthem - Vatican City) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:45:00 -0800

Why? Because we haven't made enough fun of the Papacy this year. This is Anthemic.

Kassaman (We Pledge - Algeria) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 03:27:03 -0800

Changing gears a bit, we go to one of the more fascinating anthems to grace the album. Kassaman's lyrics were written by Algerian poet Mufdi Zakariah while imprisoned by French colonial forces. He wrote the verses on his cell walls using his own blood. They are, by nature, extremely violent, and (far as I know) may comprise the only national anthem which mentions machine guns directly.

Dideba (Praise - Georgia) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:50:06 -0800

Next in line comes Georgia (the country, not the awful state). Oh, Georgia...your flag is classy as hell, your language looks like squiggly doom. You're pretty awesome. I'm so sorry.

Blessings of the Swazi (Nkulunkulu Mnikati wetibusiso temaSwati - Swaziland) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 01:54:05 -0800

Next from Anthemic comes a much more abstract interpretation of a much more obscure anthem, from a country many more people are prone to forget exists. It's also, probably, my personal favourite track of the whole album. I'd like to think it very deftly stomps through the full spectrum of brilliance and stupidity, at any and all times.

Up Above the Young Rhine (Oben am jungen Rhein - Liechtenstein) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 22:09:15 -0800

Presenting Anthemic: a collection of abstract interpretations of various obscure, entertaining, odd, or otherwise intriguing national anthems. We start with a fairly harmless country, and a fairly harmless interpretation of a fairly harmless anthem.

Specks> Uniquify by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:56:43 -0800

So closes another chapter of the Gyrophonic discography. We end Step Outside with two tracks, which elide into each other. The second track begins around the 4'20" mark.

Tenacity by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 07:38:48 -0800

Hooved animals and plants high in starch or methyl cellulose may want to avert their attention now. Kindergarteners, or any other fans of library paste, do we have a track for you! from Step Outside, released 20 November 2011

Prelude> Moissanite by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:44:19 -0800

Moissanite, or silicon carbide, is often used to make synthetic diamonds. Listening to this track, for me, conjures imagery of a manmade crystal cavern, with an ethereal glow, and the not-quite-drip of not-quite-water. The prelude ends and the track proper begins around 3:16.

Indeliberate by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:33:13 -0800

Track #3 from last night's new, pleasantly topped release, Step Outside, we move from the realm of ambient synth and effects to acoustic improv with some warm, tasty sax in the foreground.

Patriarch by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:20:57 -0800

Track Nr. 1 from our new new new album, Step Outside, released tonight, 20 November 2011. We start with something a little familiar, and a little different.

Which Way to the Apothecary? by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:12:46 -0800

Track 6 from our album Everything You See Here, released two weeks ago--the first of four, being released over the course of this month. Previously from this album...

This is Not the Real World by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 21:55:15 -0800

In the real world, nobody voluntarily plays contrabassoon. Those who are forced to do so only play one note, and it's in long tones. This, however, is abstract, effected, avant-garde contrabassoon. This track comes from our newly released album, Everything You See Here. Don't ask about the alpaca.

Allahu Akbar (Libyan National Anthem) by askmeaboutLOOM

askmeaboutLOOM — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 01:17:47 -0800

Topical? Certainly! Tasteless? Probably! Pantsless? Unfortunately not. Well fought, revolutionaries. I hope these days are the turning points you so need.

Un Poco Masada by askmeaboutLOOM

A little bit Bang on a Can, or simply hacking away on instruments we don't play? You be the judge!
