music i like

lifelong-friend (25)in #music • 8 years ago (edited)

as a long term appreciator of interesting sounds in music,
electronic music in particular has always drawn me in with the interesting tonal potentials.

it comes as a nice surprise to find these tracks by Jake Meginsky
https://soundcloud.com/jmeginsky

I have no idea who he is (I assume Jake is a male name), or anything about him, but I like these sounds.

repetitive, poly rhythmic, tonality based explorations.
not music as it is often expressed, but emotional and stimulating.

Also another recent find, originally released in 2009
Tarot Sport, by The Fuck Buttons.

again i know very little about them, but they seem to be two people.
Tarot Sport is high energy melodic beat driven.
4/4 techno influenced with strong melodic content featuring high frequency content

both Jake Meginsky and Tarot Sport feature several elements i most enjoy of electronic music
interesting tonal potentials, full frequency use, minimalist repetitive qualities.

as an aside
i found an interesting post on the Fuck Buttons facebook page

"The album we worked on with Jean-Michel Jarre 'Electronica 1: The Time Machine' has been nominated for a Grammy."

and for an extra bonus,
non-stop rain from closed loop vinyl
