I personally believe this music is something that in future years will be around in most popular bands. Take a band like Matmos for example. They seem to take a lot of ideas from electro acoustic music and blend it with their poppy influences.

Check out Alvin Lucier's piece entitled I am Sitting in a Room. What an amazing study in sound this piece is.

Highly recommended.


Joe Foster and Kevin Parks have released a track this year on the net label homophoni (free streaming/download). In my opinion their strongest duo work yet.

nice sound , classical hints, experimental violin, slight electronic parts, not bad at all.

Here's something for you to check out. (go to T-Rex in case it doesn't come up at the top of the \list.  Its a bit more musical, but still squarely E-A.  All the sounds in this piece are made either by the live trombone player or from sampled recordings of trombones being played, hit, and otherwise abused in some way.  It shows off both the electronics and the instrument in a fun, mostly musical way.


i heard coolville music, and i like it, it is very different from those artists  i've heard labeled as EA  , coolville has many classical moments which i enjoy, and unlike those loops ,and noise heard before, coolville music is nice flowing , i especially enjoyed ''saturday night porch music  '' , ''elegy ''is very calm and peacefull  nice listen, T-rex has some interesting experimental trombone playing ,not bad.

hello trademark, Long time no hear from you,i  missed your posts Smile,  yes it is different genre, indeed. Too diferent to discuss.i am not familiar to this genre at all ,so i cannot discuss. So i didn't see your name here in this Electro acoustic thread  ,so what will you  add to this disscussion?What would you suggest from this genre? we cannot argue here for something not related to this topic,metal was a diferent thing.  and this guys who love this music can ban us , sent straight to hell because ruining their thread,  i am newbie in this music and expected to hear something from Avestin he seems to be familiar with this kind of music. And what i said above in my post was my opinion, and only mine, so you cannot say i'am wrong , that is what i feel for those albums i've heard so far, which doesn't have to be my last opinion cos maybe other artists from this genre i could like!

i was curious about this electro acustic thing, sounded interesting, but not anymore. I tried to listen some of recomendations here , but i found that i don't like this music at all, if it could be called music at all, to me it is sum of various sounds which don't make a whole, no flow , no melody, disconnected loops, drones, noise, . I heard Francois bayle - Camera Oscura (even i found some table tennis sounds here) , Espaces Inhabitables; Francis Dhomont - Cycle de l'errance - Mouvances - Mйtaphores 1;  Bernard Parmegiani - La Creation du Monde ; and i 'am very disapointed from this music. In the past i've tried to listen similar music to this one you called electro acustic, it was labeled as noise/drone/dark ambient/avantguarde   or something like that but no success then, and now i bumped into this similar music of yours, and i still don't understand that noise,looping, drones, weird sounds, eerie atmosphere, creepy .  then i heard artists like : Aesthetic Meat Front, Atomine Elektrine, Dagda Mor, Desiderii Marginis, Nobody and leutha, In Slaughter Natives, Moljebka pvlse 
sorry mocking your music but it sounds like that to me.

Not been listening to EAM lately, but has anyone had any new music discovered that you're excited about?

I'm really into 60' 70' Library Music, and that's why I've stumbled over Egisto Macchi. The three albums I got Voix, Bioritmi and Futurissimo are all rare collectors items. Nothing I found written about him will prepare you for his unique sounduniverse, but this review on Futurissimo written by ladouce clipped from Rate Your Music comes pretty close:
 
...Sustained strings, accidental orchestral bursts and chimes-like electronics... This is SO incredibly beautiful! Somewhere between Luc Ferrari's "Interrupteur", François Bayle's "Les couleurs de la nuit" and Eric Demarsan's "L'armée des ombres". It can also remind abstract pieces of Morricone, with a similar use of electric guitar taken out of its context, like pop culture artefacts

A brilliant oeuvre, really. To be listened when it's dark out....

I know they're not normally associated with this scene, but actually a lot of Library albums made by quite famous film composers like Piero Umiliani, Ennio Morricone (often using psuedonyms) etc are experimental, electroaqoustic compositions. Morricone's Controfase is a fantastic album filled with atonal and electronic sounds.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Been having lots of fun with the Dimuzio albums I've ordered and also finally ordered and received the Parmegiani boxset which is AWESOME! 12 cd's with his best work and a large booklet in English and French discussing his work and also notes on the particular pieces found on the 12 cd's.

Yeah, nothing new, but great to discover for those who don't.

I still need to get that Parmegiani boxset, I only have some of his output which is outstanding.

Philippe, have a look at the other mentions on this thread, some are from newer artists (Olivia Block, Thomas Dimuzio and others).

^ really great sound creators...but nothing new for me, I'm familiar with this scene and in particular with the GRM pioneering researches since years.

this link covers a lot of the Vol. of the Obscure Tape Music:

http://www.fusetronsound.com/index.php?whomlab=OmegaPoint
& rateyourmusic has then lined up neatly
http://rateyourmusic.com/label/omega_point_records_f1/

I'm pretty sure Joji Yuasa featured on that OHM: The Early Gurus of Electronic Music: 1948-1980, so I thought there could be some important historical documents amongst these releases. Pretty pricey tho' to make a gamble.
