Ricky Eat Acid - A Smoothie Robot For My Moon Mansion

In honor of Creative Common's 10th anniversary a few years ago the netlabel Bad Panda put together a playlist that we discovered on CC-Europe's Soundcloud page.  

Some really nice stuff on this list, but we were immediately attracted by "Robot" and "Moon Mansion".  BSWC has always had a thing for Space, Sex and Robots.

Great track by Ricky Eat Acid and while we type this their Soundcloud stream is playing on behind us.  Worth checking out.  There is a bunch of material at Bandcamp, as well.

He has a note about his motivation on multiple channels:

lately i've been really into music that sounds like it's reaching upwards to God and falling short, over & over

Always reaching, higher and higher.

Miranda Shvangiradze - Ready for the Trip

Things are bubbling right along here at BSWC.  No dust gathering beneath our feet.

Featured in this post is a lovely 2012 VKRS release called Talk to Me. Miranda Shvangiradze is originally from Georgia but is currently living in the U.S.  This is a collection of instrumental piano tracks with a nice dollop of electronics.

She has a Soundcloud page that features her more current work along with some ringtones and the like.

The liner notes for the release provide a list of her influences:

Her music is influenced by Mozart, Chopin, Georgian folk and many contemporary artists like Imogen Heap, Roykssopp, Coldplay, and Katie Melua.

Feel the bubbles.

Gurdonark - I cannot play my Mother's Marimba

Our old friend, Gurdonark has a new release out called Constellation Blackbird from the netlabel, we are all ghosts. 

WAAG describes his sound as "weirdbient".  That works.  We have enjoyed the Gurdonark sound for almost of decade now.  His music appears both in BSWC the show and here in the feed.

WAAG has a nice way with words:

“Constellation Blackbird” continues the musical journey Gurdonark first started with WAAG back in late 2012 with “Open Spaces”. This isn’t easy listening: it has dissonant frequencies, naive sounds and glitchy melodies that may not be instantly accessible. However I, for one, enjoy his particular style of minimalist expressionism … I look on it aural ginger that cleanses the palate from a meal of ambient sushi. 

Clear your palate.

Nullsleep - depeche mode gameboy megamix! (Oops! 4/30/15)

And for our first oops... a fantastically pure 8bit composition by nullsleep from the collective 8bitpeoples.  Lots of great stuff here!

"Equally suited for use when dancing in front of the mirror alone in your bedroom or rocking the crowd to the ground at your next mega dance party!"

BSWC One-a-Day: Tunturia - Cast Shadows on Clouds

I'll see your post-rock choice and raise you a post rock compilation! ;)

The Silent Ballet: Volume 4 [LostChildren025] just released yesterday is a joint effort between The Silent Ballet (a netzine, just turning 1 year old that focuses on post-rock and instrumental music) and The Lost Children (a netlabel that releases "EPs and Full Lengths from Instrumental/Experimental/Post-Rockish kind of bands."). It features 13 very well put together tracks, self released and from some indie labels. The music was compiled with the upbeat energy of summer in mind.

Tunturia is out of Toronto, Ontario. They claim to be "the exact opposite of what happens at a rock show." With 2 guitars, a bass, and percussions (along with some sampling) these guys create an excellent soundscape with Cast Shadows on Clouds. If you happen to be near Sault Ste Marie, Ontario you can catch them tomorrow night (May 22nd) at Foggy Notions.

Although I admit that this music is out of sync with my regular posts, I really enjoyed this compilation, pretty much straight through to the last, and I hope you will too.


NOTE & UPDATE:

An embarrassed subsystem7 just found out that he posted the same song that biotic posted 2 days ago! I removed the link to the mp3 so that those who have downloaded this mp3 don't need to get it twice. ;)
