^^^one hour piece/one organ note?....i'm one it

speaking off...a while back a few of us attempted a blog and James submitted an album by Alvin Lucier called "I Am Sitting In A Room"....find it and listen to it....it starts off a bit slow....as it is just him repeating that sentence over and over ad nausum.....but what happens is beyond words

i feel so lucky to have run into this band....just by chance and speaking with a record store owner about Mike Pattons solo work....and he handed me 'Empty Bell Ringing In The Sky" and told me if i hated it he would refund me 100%....it was amazing....their music...for me at least....creates instant astral projection

YouTube - Pauline Oliveros - Bye Bye Butterfly (1965)

Phill Niblock, composer and filmmaker, interested especially in textures of sound and density. He collaborated with many composers and musicians among which are also Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore.
YouTube - Phill Niblock - Tow By Tom (live, Hamburg, 17.04.2009)

Glenn Branca - You probably know him; dense guitar symphonies, noise and drone
YouTube - Glenn Branca: The Ascension

Windy & Carl - Not really pop or indie drone, but more like drone-like ambient/cosmic/post-rock
YouTube - Windy and Carl - 03 - Elevation
wow i really enjoyed all of those....for some reason i've never actually listened to Glen Branca's orchestral work....it was wonderful

i have to say though the first 9Pauline Oliveros) and last (Windy and Carl) on your list were truly mind numbing.....i'm looking for them now

this was the perfect mix to listen to while finishing my paperwork

Time Machines is unlike anything else they ever recorded....very stripped down and yet full

i actually do very much like Merzbow....although i must say i do not listen to harsh noise/power electronic like i use to.....i actually think you'll really enjoy the Boris/Merzbow stuff....they blend and accent each other very well
