RADICAL/EXTREME COMPUTER MUSIC?

We can't have a thread about RADICAL COMPUTER MUSIC without mentioning Goodiepal. :-/

"the film traces how Gæoudjiparl's RCM goals of creating music for 'artificial & alternative intelligences' has now diverged into a tangled web of race wars, theft, forgery & death threats."

TFW you get your loading routine mixed up with the music code and accidentally invent both flashcore and bytebeat in 1986 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t44WLkYjwvo

One guy who I fear is being forgotten from the canon is a Japanese project called Mono. Partly because he only released a few discs (two on Tochnit Aleph, one on Solipsism, some very rare earlier tapes), and partly because Mono is such a ubiquitous damn name, I guess. Still, Yoshida Norihiko created a small body of very raw, repetitive, computer-based noise in the early 2000s. If you want evidence of how under-appreciated this guy is, realize that Patrick's still selling new copies of the original 100-copy run of "T-10" on Solipsism almost 16 years later! Don't let that mass rejection suggest a lack of quality, though. It's really great shit. Crackling, crunchy, oddly assembled. It's the real deal.

Plus the fact that discogs.com search is fucking attrocious when you want to find something that has only one word. Id love to have function just to get exact matches. Even worse they tag them by numbers that I guess are given in order of being added but mono(15) doesnt tell me jackshit while something like mono (jap) might tell me something.

Yeah, I have been having this on my heart for a long time and know it is really off topic but still. Gotta get it out finally. Fuck. Discogs. Search. Funtion.

I've been really keen to hear this since it was mentioned in another thread. id be really grateful if you or anyone else could share a rip or some samples because its still a bit of an expensive punt for me buying a cdr
from the u.s.

Great thread, thanks for the bump.
Some useful links in here for me to read up on, may even include some of it in my next zine.

Depending on what sort of stuff you like, the following may be useful

Qebrus
https://exophobiaorgqebrus.bandcamp.com/album/--5
https://loveloverecords.bandcamp.com/album/-
Qebrus makes alien sounding electronica. It's not breakcore, its kinda glitchy irregular beats but with fantastic sound design and taking in a variety of loops and samples. I Love it.

Does Venetian Snares count?
Whilst a lot of his music is breakcore / derivative, some of his albums bring in influences such as acid, IDM, glitch.  "Filth" was a great album - loud and dirty and acid tinged sounds.  "Traditional Synthesiser Music" is him cutting loose with an expansive modular rack.  Whatever - he has a huge back catalogue of stuff, of varying degrees of quality.

John Wall is really great

Thanks for the recommendation, sounds great.

Apparently John Wall plays for the Washington Wizards NBA team, but once you get past that you can find his bandcamp page ;)

I realy like his old stuff, making orange things, doll doll doll are his best harsh and sick albums imo
Crazy atmosphere...
Newer stuff is also very good but its easier listening. Saw him perform last year with his modular setup, super intense, totally different then his recorded music

Feels worthy of a bump because I ended up taking said punt and it's taking my speakers for a ride as we speak.  Very bone shaking stuff but steady in terms of dynamics so far.  No major ups and downs in volume or new tones but rather constantly moving the possibilities of a few simple sounds and textures around from speaker to speaker, start stop, slight modulations in EQ and playback points.  This is how I hear it anyway.  Still a very harsh and aggressive listen!  Excellent.  The way it has been described thus far is more accurate than I can get it.  Almost sounds like if Gantz Graf era Autechre was made using totally harsh noise textures.  Glad I ended up going for it c/o encouragement from this thread and Mr. S!! cheers.


EDIT -  to add something new, you could do a lot worse than to have a listen to Lee Fraser.  Excellent laptop composition/improvisation from London, UK.  Total digital revelry whilst still being really varied and interesting.  I find that I vary rarely enjoy this kind of thing but he is a real favourite of mine working in this area.  Great live too, especially since he seems to have the skill of knowing when to stop playing which a lot of more serious laptop dudes absolutely do not possess. https://soundcloud.com/leefraser

so then there was this project:

MU
from taiwan. not to be confused with the hippie band from hawaii.
raw data and disk drive sounds, harsh and intense, surgical and detailed.

this project had a bunch of netlabel albums on brainwashed/vvmtest in 2005-2007 or so, long since disappeared. i came across an old backup drive with ancient downloads, finally found these again ---> i made an archive of all audio i have with some recent discogs etc info... grab it here:

250 MB zip file with some fucked up computer shit, enjoy!! MU ftw!!

Rene Hell comes to mind. It's Jeff Witscher from projects Impregnable, Secret Abuse, Roman Torment, etc. Sometimes this projects material flirts a little more with ambient or modern classical sounds but a good chunk of it is super glitched out computerized noise.
