Boris Yeltsin's Neo-Crimean Ramadan Meth Binge
Put headphones on and click to listen
I want three things from the music I listen to:
1) Atmosphere
2) Melody
3) Atmosphere
I like listening to music that lets you hazard a guess that the size of the room it was recorded in, who was there, whether the walls are brick or that naff puffy wallpaper you like to indent with your fingernail and determine that the drummer is wearing a full-body towelling babygrow.
Perhaps this method of using two mics either side of a dummy’s head, often housed inside replica ear shapes is the answer.
I’d like to record music that had physicality as it’s theme. Could we be above you whilst we were singing about being a bird flying through a beautiful Autumn? Could we be below you as we were singing about being Princess Diana’s corpse? It could be exciting.
As an aside, you could talk to any Psy-trance fan about binaural beats, a type of music, which I believe relies on the feeding the brain certain related frequencies of sound in order for it to produce the perception of another sound that’s not actually there. Wikipedia says it better than I can, ‘The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the loudness of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subject’s ears’.
It is supposed to help with meditation and spiritual or mental journeys. I find it very relaxing and it can be quite good work music.
