Flora Yin-Wong - Trigram for Earth (Portraits GRM, 2024)

[picnokinesis]

THE HISTORY BETWEEN US AUDIOBOOK by @77yearsteam IS FINALLY HERE!!! And that means that the soundtrack that I've spent the last several months writing too is ALSO HERE!!

Please go an support the audiobook, you can get it for just a fiver over on BigCartel, and all the money is going to the fantastic charity MicroRainbow - and when you buy the audiobook, you get the digital download of the soundtrack compilation album FOR FREE as well!! But if you'd rather just listen on youtube, the entire OST is also available over on my music channel, and you can find the playlist right here.

I'm genuinely so proud of this piece of work - both the audiobook and everything this team has accomplished together, but also just the music that I've managed to compose. This is the biggest music project by FAR that I've ever composed for - it ended up being over an hour's worth of music, and it taught me so much, and I'm honestly just so grateful that I've been a part of this. All the music (barring two tracks) are written using 'found sounds' - turning sounds recording in the world around me like alarms and squeaking gates into synthesisers. Just like how Delia Derbyshire wrote the original Doctor Who soundtrack, only digital! So this is very much a humble homage to her, and all the other fantastic composers for Doctor Who who've inspired me over the years.

Lately, I've been finding immense joy in musique concrète and electroacoustic music. I've come a long way, but perfect compositions started to suffocate me. The splashes of sounds, savoring sound itself—raw, initially mechanical, softened by the perception of my ear—have begun to evoke new emotions in me.

That's why, as Rave FM, we invited the Cosmic DJ Aliena, who composed a set for us after receiving a signal from Voyager 1 👽 You’ll hear it on our radio station on December 14th.

Faust (1971), So Far (1972), Outside the Dream Syndicate (1973), The Faust Tapes (1973), Faust IV (1973), Faust

Even now, clearly the dawn of something entirely new; how terrifying, how exhilarating; rural weirdos tricked their way into far too much money, fooled the execs though to the rest of the planet those stupid execs are worth some thanks; not music to overthink, to do Faust right is to submit to it – with the help of certain substances or not – to indulge as they indulged and embrace an undefined, imaginative world.

Faust, the debut, strange, engrossing, perhaps not actually enjoyable. Sinister and playful, exceptionally loose in conventional structure (lacking the anchoring percussion of other krautrock instigators). The real genius, so I’ve heard, lies in the guys who actually managed to record it. Producer Uwe Nettelbeck for putting it together and Kurt Graupner, with his magical black boxes, for getting it onto record. Praise be to those little black boxes.

Second So Far is much more conventional, though that’s all relative, on a scale, a spectrum. Here are some conventional songs – or some tunes, at least, within tracks – switching between the folky and funky and faint and weird, with, of course, a fair measure of totally oblique things. Comes together much better than I.

And then a big year, 1973, three releases, all of which prised Faustworld even further open. With Tony Conrad on Outside the Dream Syndicate, the troupe started to resemble a kraut I know and love, yet were also so far from that, the metronome not tight apache but ritualistic march. Suits a narrative, too, the band emerging from its mad, fun cave with a stern, cold desire to dictate.

The Tapes were both a marketing gimmick and an archive in real time, peeling back the mysteries of Faust’s bafflingly obtuse musical fruit with liminal spectres of rock, folk, pop, jazz and orchestral music and high theory. Winking and nudging and epic, the Tapes showed theory and praxis though never – not really – demystified. Faust’s fruit is one of many skins, and those skins are so enticing to journey through that the juicy centre seems wholly unimportant. 

IV listens as most academic, the Faust record refined and pored over by the gruppe and feasibly built as if to be studied – in process, making one second-guess the urge not to examine the band’s earlier pieces. But is that studying also a mistake? Such is the dialectical genius of Faust, to and fro, one thing and another, the unsurety of meanings or intentions – but the total sureness of one crucial thing: brilliance. 

I can’t and won’t try to sum it all up, my brain is far too small – as are all brains, for that matter. The Faust phenomenon (or the era of the project most care about) happened in just a couple of years, yet entirely transformed music forever. Half a century later, the Faust story continues to carry further promise: that maybe someday someone else will do something so revolutionary, too.

Pick(s): ‘Meadow Meal’, ‘It’s a Rainy Day Sunshine Girl’, ‘The Side of Man and Womankind’, ‘Flashback Caruso’, ‘Krautrock’

Ghedalia Tazartes and Other Ear Stretchers 

  Filed under ’T’ for Tazartes this is a mp3 compliation of challenging ‘music.’ Ghedalia Tazartes – a French ‘composer’ exemplifies the work that stretches ones notions of music. On his Diasporas Tazartes (1979) he gives us a range of the musique concrète genre. This is not lyrical, sometimes not using traditional instruments or concepts. He pioneered the use of sampling, of cutting up tapes &…
