the nomadic subject: October 2014

http://thenomadicsubject.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 13, 2014. I'm really sad to announce that Mark Bell has passed away due to complications from surgery. An electronic pioneer with his work as one half of LFO, his genre bending of house with techno was ahead of the game, and he was one of my favorite album producers of the 90's. Bjork has kept him aboard since he produced her "Homogenic" album. He will be soreley missed. Andwell, Fucking LFO, y'all! Posted by Christopher Ballard. Friday, October 3, 2014.

Saturday, February 7, 2015. Happy Birthday Jay Dee! The music world will never stop lamenting the loss of one of the best beat makers / producers hip hop has ever known.

the nomadic subject: Villages - Procession Acts (Bathetic, 2015)

http://thenomadicsubject.blogspot.com/2015/04/villages-procession-acts-bathetic-2015.html

Sunday, April 5, 2015. Villages - Procession Acts (Bathetic, 2015). The decade long evolution of Villages (William Ross Gentry) has been a fascinating one. It's been a privilege to watch this personality unfurl. At an impressive fifteen releases, each has growth that is very apparent, one that is indicative of hard work, and a discerning ear. His initial offering, the lovely and delicate " The Last Whole Earth. Showed leaps and bounds in production, Theories of Ageing. Pillars in Half Light. Posted by Ch...

the nomadic subject: January 2015

http://thenomadicsubject.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 23, 2015. Klaus Schulze, German Genius and Hero: An Early Work Primer. Today I just want to take a moment to talk about one of my musical heroes, Klaus Schulze. For most music nerds, a mere visit to his Wikipedia Page. The father of techno, created over sixty albums over five decades, most of which are pretty good, several of which are considered ambient masterpieces. This resume makes my head spin. Anyway, I reviewed my favorite of his solo records, Mirage. From Cyborg, 1973:. This is on...

the nomadic subject: John Luther Adams - Become Ocean (Cantaloupe Music, 2014)

http://thenomadicsubject.blogspot.com/2015/01/john-luther-adams-become-ocean.html

Saturday, January 3, 2015. John Luther Adams - Become Ocean (Cantaloupe Music, 2014). This is one of the most beautiful modern classical recordings I've had the privilege to hear. John Luther Adams composes lush, sparse and epic tales of our relationship with nature. This sounds simple, but the complexity of his musical narratives are stunning, and this is his finest work. In fact, for this piece, he just received the Pulitzer Prize for Music. I recently discovered Adams on Q2 Music's Meet The Composer.

the nomadic subject: Klaus Schulze - Mirage (1977)

http://thenomadicsubject.blogspot.com/2010/12/klaus-schulze-mirage-1977.html

Monday, December 6, 2010. Klaus Schulze - Mirage (1977). A stunning piece from a still underrated pioneer. Beginning his career as drummer for Tangerine Dream and leaving in 1970 to found Ash Ra Tempel, Schulze has made an indelible mark on Ambient and synth based music in general. Everyone in these genres has been incredibly influenced by his work. With over 60 solo albums he still strikes an occasional chord with me on albums to this day. The liner notes say it all:.
