Song of the Day - Vaihtovirta by Pan Sonic

in #music3 years ago

Continuing from yesterday, my general vibes have been on an experimental side. Pan Sonic continues to be a constant source of inspiration for me. This track glitches and pulsates in ways that makes for fantastic headphone music. Not going to be everyone's tastes, but there is nuance and depth to every sound here. Love stuff like this.

Getting here from another post, from edje's where he got inspired by this track!
This is exceptional! Exciting! I have the feeling that it represents the sounds of life in us, maybe not just human life is present here though hahaha.

🙌 Thank you for this share!

That's interesting. I've kind of got a different take on music like this and it really comes from my own experience with making music. I personally think most musicians working in this sphere don't approach music like this with intent at all, rather a series of experiments that we can interpret later. Pan Sonic to me were experimenting at it's best. A group just focused on pushing their gear to it's limit and letting the audience come to terms with it. It's interesting to me that you get your take out of it, because it's like we come to the same place via two different paths. Dance music is about life and movement after all.

You are on a roll! :)
Another great track!

You say headphones (listening using my Sennheizer), but (like the previous one) I really really like to hear this track through the best club sound/speaker setup I know, in either Berghain (Berlin) or Womb (Tokyo).

I feel you. Music like this probably doesn't have the biggest audience in a club, but I feel like the tones that are on here would be best suited for a big room with a ton of people.

Like @mipiano I arrived here via @edje 's post. Listening to this I can appreciate the effort the composers put into it .... but my appreciation levels are way low on this type of sound...05m50s in it sounds like an electronic mosquito was loose in the room during the recording. @edje's been trying to educate me on electronic music but my ears and soul just dont want to be dragged into the light {grin}

No worries. Pan Sonic is definitely not the group I would recommend to people who aren't already into noise, industrial, or techno music. They are pretty abrasive, occasionally utilize tones are in that upper frequency range that are hard to enjoy, and use really sparse arrangements with zero conventional structures frequently relying on psychoacoustics.

Essentially, I completely understand why people don't like this type of stuff, buuuut...

I still find them super inspiring. When they are at their best there is a true weight to their sound and a purity of tone that they get coaxed out of military test equipment and esoteric gear. They were these truly singular experimentalists whose influence can't really be overstated in underground music scenes. Plus, most of these records sound amazing on big systems where you can feel the almost oppressive force on your body.

It's just definitely not the starting place I would recommend for people who don't already like experimental music. Cheers though. I hope @edje finds a group that opens that door for you.

Thanks but not neccessary .... I have enough genre's that I really love.
