This page is my commentary on the experimental, electronic, instrumental music I’ve found on the net. These are my opinions. We’re all entitled to our own opinion. You have yours, and I have mine.
I’m not going to trash anybody. I have the option to critique the music business in general and express my displeasure with most popular music. But with regard to individual musicians and their music, I only shout out what I’ve discovered to be good music–of course, it’s my opinion.
Then again, some of you might agree with my point of view on things. If so, then my reviews here could help expose you to new music artists, instead of having to spend hours and hours sampling tracks on numerous website searching for something that turns you on.
Although these reviews are my opinions, there is a method to my selections. I don’t assert that I would actually download any of these artist’s music for my own listening pleasure, although that’s possible. I have a requirement–that the music sounds like the artist devoted some effort into the creation. I have to feel like this artist is genuinely creating something, even if it’s not necessarily my bag. No matter how experimental it is, I have to detect a special language being spoken, even if it’s a language I don’t understand.
I don’t have patience for the wannabe commercial artist–who somehow got the idea he’s going to become a “recording artist”, quit his day job, and receive the adulation of admiring fans. There seems to be hundreds of thousands of these on the music sharing sites. You have to put more effort into it than just turning on a groove machine, shaking your booty, and pretending your playing music.

“Neuf Dix Onze”, Gérard Delassus Chailles, France
(see “HearThis.at”: hearthis.at/xnwdv7yv/neuf-dix-onze/)
It’s a quiet piano piece. I think this is a composition, not an improvisation. It’s redeeming features, like that of all good music, is that it is not monotonous. The non-tonality in some phrases (calling it “atonal” might be to force it into a certain category) helps to keep it interesting. I might add this to my listening list of piano pieces like Bach fugues.
