What I'm listening to today: "An Ambient Jam in 31 Tone Equal Temperament", The Creepy Silence
Western music is based on 12 tones, equally-spaced (on a logarithmic scale), which happen to come very close to "good-sounding" pitch ratios. There are some historical attempts at numbers other than 12.
Here, a launchpad rigged for 31-TET is used to perform 15 minutes of messy, engrossing, exploratory astral disembodiment music. Music for a power outage on a spaceship
What I'm listening to today: "Scandinavia", Billy Woods, ELUCID and The Alchemist
Woods and ELUCID just dropped an album under the name Armand Hammer and it's INCREDIBLE. Woods and clique have this idiom of slowed-down, format-breaking rap music and it gets better and more refined with each release. Parts of "Mercy" sound like early Portishead, other parts sound like nothing I've ever heard before. There's like 4 tracks on here I wanna link but here's some ominous piano
