ACL 2013: Top Ten Drone
In a classroom, a drone is a nuisance, but in music, it’s an attraction. These artists know that drone is more than sustained sound; it’s texture, movement and tone. Songs hum like appliances, grind like motors & clank like factories.

Iancu Dumitrescu ~ Pierres Sacrées / Hazard and Tectonics
Iancu Dumitrescu has for a long time been at the edge of an avant-garde that treats its source material not as form/content or sign but phenomenon, eluding the sculptural particularities of both the spectralists and the concréte composers while adapting

Electronic Observations 2013 #4
It’s a real mixed bag this month, from treated field recordings, through the arrival of a loved-up Mike Paradinas to the discovery of a previously unknown side-project of Jaki Liebezeit, the legendary drummer from Can. To be honest, I’d probably
