What I'm listening to today: "Speciation", Passepartout Duo

An old technique in ambient music is "phasing", where you play two loops of different lengths and let them go in and out of sync, creating different interesting patterns. It's a truism this requires electronics or tape, because two humans trying to play out-of-sync tempos would confuse each other. These two seem to be actually doing a live phase performance, dueling xylophone and gameboy-style squarewave loops

What I'm listening to today: "Souzou Suru", Haru Nemuri

High-energy Japanese rap with seriously weird production. My wife was listening to this and now I'm listening to it.

Every lyrics site swears up and down she's saying "Touch my Yes", not whatever it is you thought you heard.

( If you're enjoying yourself by the end of this song maybe listen to the next one on the album, which I like for its mid-90s-arcade-shooter-style sampled guitars… specific.bandcamp.com/track/ba )
