“An hour of strangeness… ear-shattering, mind-stretching music, or noise, whichever you prefer. John Cage would have loved it” – The Independent.

Hosted by John Wild and ” “[sic] Tim Goldie. Visit abjectbloc.blogspot.co.uk/ for more information.

“59/20″ featured in the January 2013 edition of John Macedo’s monthly mixtape series.

From John’s website:

“In 2013 I’ll be sending out an hour long (mp3) mixtape each month to those on the mailing list. They will feature old and new music plus plenty of rare and out of press stuff recorded from vinyl. Style-wise, they’ll be right across the board (but expect lots of old electronic music) and some mixtapes will be dedicated to single composer/artists work. Pretty much a selection of stuff that’s exciting me that month.

This month’s mix (61 mins) features tracks by Luigi Nono, Laurie Spiegel, Swans, Robert Ashley, Maryanne Amacher and Douglas Leedy and much more.”

“Another list, another batch of tapes from UK label The Tapeworm! This one comes from a guy named Phil Julian, who despite apparently being quite active in the experimental music underground since the nineties, we had not previously heard of. But all it took was a few seconds of his Live Flux to convince us that that was definitely an egregious oversight on our part. Huge billowing clouds of low end rumble and buzzing metallic shimmer, all constructed from experiments with “unstable/chaotic systems”, aka modular synths, contact mics, feedback etc. It’s impossible to tell what the source is for these sounds, but it hardly matters, just sit back and let these thick sonic swells wash over you. Undulating, and softly pulsing swirls seem to coalesce into heaving walls of sound only to immediately dissipate into drifting clouds of sonic particles, before beginning to gather once again. The sound eventually settles into something much more serene, a sort of Niblockian stretch of layered tones, backed with all manner of incidental sound, voices, shuffling feet, pieces of wood on concrete, hard to say if these were purposeful or not, but they do add mysterious texture, to Julian’s dronemusic, which even in its more serene state, begins again to build to something dense and intense. The flipside is more of the same, but the recording is more raw, wreathed in hiss, the sounds pulsing madly as well, as if tones were chosen that were just off enough that their overtones would collide and disagree, the results though are a wild chaotic cloud of hissing, throbbing soft noise, that for all of its noisiness and abrasion, still manages to be weirdly hypnotic.”

Excerpt from the release featured in Philip Marshall’s January 2013 mix for Entr’acte:
