Recommended Online Experimental Music:mirakelmusik, INSIDEaMIND and Thinner

Some random sites, all with free MP3s, that I enjoyed this week. Feel free to tip the artists if you like what you hear.



mirakelmusik

"Mirakelmusik is a young netlabel which will release more or less experimental music, like ambient, electronica, industrial, noise, but no idm, techno or alike."

Listened to a whole bunch of stuff from this site. Here are some highlights:

Artist: Mendigo

A series of drones by Venezualan Renzo Peressi.

Artist: Ubeboet

"A sideproject of m__ who have previously released on netlabels such as Enough and Entity. This time he brings you a 15 minute electroacoustic track based entirely upon field recordings."

Eerie, metallic and sparse.

Artist: Bluedark

Underwater sounding dronework from Swede Erik Glans.



INSIDEaMIND

Homepage for fellow Torontonians INSIDEaMIND, a "two man scratch band... stretching artistic boundaries by performing live original compositions with vinyl."

Funky-ass turntable manipulation at its finest. Lots of great tracks.

These guys are playing at Ambient Ping here in Toronto on July 11th, 2006.



Thinner/Autoplate

This duo of labels has a lot of ambient dub (think basic channel style), with occasional appearances of field-recording-style drone components.

Artist: Das Kraftfuttermischwerk

Pretty straight up ambient dub, which I am a bit of a sucker for.

Artist: Emil Klotzsch

Emil Klotzsch is a Sound Designer/Editor working in Film Post-Production. This is a beautiful ambient dub exploration of the topography of the Scottish Highlands, featuring field recordings from the area. Quite good.
