SESSION 43: At Home With Rose

Dreams/drugs/drones

It's nearly Christmas and I'm finding it a bit tense - lots to organise. My favourite kind of Christmas is one that is completely laid back and relaxed but I never seem to be able to manage that cos I'm a mother and an organiser and I sometimes wish I wasn't. Well, I don't wish I didn't have my amazing kids, but sometimes I wish I could be the one to kick back and enjoy someone else doing all the shit that is involved with making a nice day for everyone. Anyway, I've formed an escape hatch for Wednesday night with dreamscapes and drones to disappear into for a couple of hours. I hope it can be enjoyed in the same way by others. Escapism Through Music.

SESSION 23: At Home With Rose

Hammer me with your noise machine

>> DOWNLOAD HERE <<

Spend some time with noise and drone, and music (or anything else, for that matter) will never be the same again. It'll dismantle your hearing and put it back together in a completely different way.

I've compiled a range of noise tracks here. Probably the least noise-like is The Stumps - there's some instrumentation in here and some discernible melody. But they fit.

You'll see plenty of Dsic. He is the master of blippy white-noise noise. I've probably chosen the least harsh of his tracks really. He's an ex-Wellingtonian, moved to the Bristol, UK. I've asked him, and he still definitely considers himself a NZer. Check out his site.

Oh, and I think I may have said this before, but isn't The Polyamourous Love Cult just about the best band name ever?
