Favoriting Bryce: Playlist from September 1, 2017 Favoriting

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

This is fmu's drivetime show. Management cynically and undemocratically schedules it to suck the most fundraising dollars out of its day-job working audience

This sounds great being streamed on my pho be, laptop, and radio simultaneously

@lix, many times Bryce will play things that would not be considered music per se, some of it irritates or confuses, think of it as expanding what one considers music. Write down the pieces you like and hate, sometimes the pieces you hate today become the pieces you'll love in the future.

@lix, also, sometimes it helps to think of this as a radio show transmitted from an extraterrestrial other worldly source,,,, not being sarcastic actually, I love this show because it's opened my mind and ears to so much I'd never been exposed to.

Bryce:

lixlife (love your handle, btw!), yeah, i'm getting off to a noisy start today, lol.....

thanks for not just being, like, "this garbage is why i don't donate to fmu any more!"

i think the trick with this kind of textural stuff is not to try to understand it as music music, because it doesn't have the same kind of structures and logic as harmonic/rhythmic music. that just leads to frustration and feeling like you're missing something other people are hearing. you're not!

the thing to shoot for is more like letting your brain go out of focus, allowing your left hemisphere to take a half-hiatus from its analytical duties, so you can experience the details and layers of sound almost spatially, as if you were watching it.

So far all is reminiscent of how I've felt reading Burroughs or looking at a Francis Bacon work. Now that I'm typing this, I think maybe it's more akin to Richard Serra's work, there's an experiential element that is difficult to explain.

noahl:

@Lixiviated Life: For me, it helps to -not- be doing tasks with words or numbers while listening. Manual work, visual work go better. Of course, if I can sit with headphones and pay close attention, even better. The analogy to visual artists may be apt. Compared to pop music, the 'rules' for visual art and this music aren't very apparent, sometimes they seem nonexistant. As you can tell, people here are always excited to make a convert; I hope you find your way into the sound!

I didn't start listening artists on this playlist (for example), it was a gradual process of discovery by finding different analogs in more accessible music little by little, and then wanting to study processes behind it before I would fully appreciate it. Now, it's automatic (or beyond).

Seasons occur because of the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis, which is about 23.4 degrees. Around the June Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun. This causes summer there. The Southern Hemisphere, on the other hand, is tilted away from the sun and therefore, experiences winter. The opposite occurs around the December Solstice when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, while the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away.
