Dude that is awesome!! Im instantly into it. I heard the samples and was blown away :) It's so anti Merzbow lol. I wish I could get some cds of this stuff. |

This is totally amazing stuff. I'm floored. |

I know. It's sheer minimalism...unless of course you're being sarcastic |

Crap! You're on to me! You need one of those Spinal Tap amps that go to 11 to hear this stuff. |

LOL!!!!! It's called listening with your mind rather than your ears man. You gotta think about the air in between the sounds...explore explore!!! :) |

I don't think anything could be worse than John Cage's 4'33". He did NOTHING so when a quiet peice that comes out containing SOME sounds...be nice to it. |

You need a good stereo to enjoy all this stuff. Not for headphones. And you also need a silent neighborhood :-) |

lol that's true. |

I wouldn't mind working with silence actually. Im very interested in the relationship between stuff...it's effect. |

I'd like to start doing this stuff. I feel like I don't know where to begin, though. |

Begin anywhere man. Ive noticed a ton of stuff at night time when I let my dog out to the bathroom. I'll stand at the door and just listen and the world is indeed full of songs. You just need to listen. Say drops of water coming out of the water spout at 4/4 while a car goes by and backfires. That never happened but just as an example. Fun stuff if you listen. |

Lisence: check this page out from a site on Steve Roden who is apparenly a genius at it. Hopefully this will give you some inspiration! One of the things he did was put 20 or so bottles in a tree in various places with speakers in them. He had cut out the bottom of the glass bottles of course but that acted like a chamber for the sounds. Imagine what that would be like. Lots of his stuff is installation work. Putting stuff up all over the place to capture the most offbeat, often over heard sounds. http://www.inbetweennoise.com/imagessound.html |

"You need a good stereo to enjoy all this stuff. Not for headphones. And you also need a silent neighborhood :-) " > if you have very good headphones though, i think it is better as it also reduces the noise from the outside world and takes you deeper into the music imo... but that's a question of taste maybe! =) (i'm trying listening to the only track of lowercase music i have yet in several ways, tried it once on headphones on full volume, once on headphones with normal volume, and now on speakers... i prefer headphones! i must say i have koss headphones and imac speakers too, so my headphones are better quality) |

btw, Amonbrune > "It's so anti Merzbow lol." > it isn't... Bernhard Günter, a lowercase music artist, has actually worked with Merzbow on some occasions! ; ) |

This is more arcane theory than music...but in a sense it is also the PERFECT ambient music. I mean...how much more ambient than an amplified anthill does it get ? |

Heh, I like it.. |

Yeah, this has been an interest of electroacoustic musicians for a long time: building from one small sound, magnifying it and chopping it up, hear it in different forms. Thanks for the link. |

i posted this link like a month ago... alot of people called it pretentious artwank music |

I listened to the uppermost 2 mp3's: 1st: minimal and subtle. mmm... if you want the piss taken out of subtle music, try crunch1. 2nd: this is pretty dumb because it merely transfers normal sounds from the outside world into the confined world of headphones. You're better off listening to actual sounds in the real world and interpreting them as music, so normal people can think you're a bit odd as they pass by and see you daydreaming. |
