505 Unexpected Gamelan part 5

Might by my last in this series, but in  no way am I scraping the bottom of the barrel for these tracks.  This set has some more traditional Gamelan tracks mixed in with the rest.  Sure some of it isn't native Gamelan instruments like Jan Jelinek and Lull, however they do sound similar enough and really fit the vibe I was after.

504 Too Strange To Be Good

A fun one made of some mostly electronic tracks that just didn't have a home in previous mixes. Not surprisingly, they all fit together really well here.  Glad I keep a folder of all my leftovers from mixes cause I can revisit them and make something cohesive.  This one I had on loop at work the other day and before I knew it I had already listened to the whole mix three times in a row.

511 Mystery Tracks for ola ;p

Commenter ola ;p has been a great help identifying some of my tracks tagged as "unknown."  These were files I've had for 20+ years mostly, and never had them properly identified so I'm pleased to put a name to the music after a long time.  Here I've put together more to accommodate their offer to try and identify them.  Nothing really groundbreaking in this set, however I'd sure like to know who some of them are to handle my intermittent Type A personality.

Here is the tracklist, including the file names I have.  I've included some notes as appropriate.  I'll keep updating this as more are identified.

1) DJ Owakari - A Cup of Coffee

2) Silver Mountain Music Group - Xemti
3) Le Tigre - LT Four Theme

4) Capricorns - November Suicides

5) Chain - Chains

6) Mushroom's Patience - Burial Dance

7) Danny Hyde - The Great White Hype

8) unknown dub track

9) aa yt (I'd be willing to bet this was my CD-r drive failing while ripping the track and not an actual song)

10) Stockhausen - Gesang Der Junglinge

11) Seefeel - Morningdrop remxis (yes that typo is in the file name, also I'm a big Seefeel fan and this does legitimately sound like them, however I can't find it on any album, ep, comp or remix)

12) 78 R.P.M. - Dry Spell

13) Fila Brazilla - Subtle Body

14) Martin Kranzel - Yirat HaShem

501a Unsorted Finds mix 1

Now back to your irregularly scheduled programming.

I was recently combing through an old hard drive and found a rather large collection of music in a folder titled "unsorted."   This had to have been from 6 or more years ago, and for whatever reason I had never integrated these albums into my larger collection.  So I sorted through them, found some real gems, and put together these two mixes covering a very wide variety of musical styles.

500c Moozlerantics - The early years

This set covers some of my earlier experiments, from 1994-2005.

  Principle B 107 - This was touched up in 2005, but is actually some of the earliest sample based work I did

  Ov -ites und -ettes (edit) - This track is actually an alternate recording from what was included on my bandcamp page, I think I made 5 or 6 versions of this one.

  Feeling Nervous - The first track I officially released, on a Legendary Pink Dots tribute album of fan made original compositions

  Feeling Nervous (remix) - a dramatically different version made a few months later

  Obsidian - One of my favorites from my high school years

  A Line in the Sand - Another from "realign the moon"

  Bonus Track (Atacan las Brujas) - Completely built using Fruity Loops and the namesake El Santo movie

  Perforate My Heart, Sunshine - Nearly all based on His Name Is Alive samples, with some supplemental original recordings

  Tuning-Preparation - The opening track from my college music project, a re-interpretation of Berlioz's Faust except I did it as a live soundtrack to the Jan Svankmajer film Faust.

  Epilogue...a new Faust - the closing track from my college music project.  Chaotic, but that's how the film ended.

  Noise with his gun (loop4) - A very early loop-based collage using samples from Muslimgauze, The Sundays, Scorn, Volcano the Bear, a several others I can't remember now.

  Influx - A performance piece for my high school talent show, I was in the background and invited anyone that felt like dancing up on stage, it got wild.  Lots of His Name Is Alive samples in here.

  Eat Me, Lord - This is probably the first track I shared with my friends.  

  Denial (remix) - My first remix attempt.  The original recording was a band I was in at the time, and I can honestly say I have zero recollection of what I was doing or how this was made.  Everything was analog on metal 4-track cassettes so I got very inventive on this track.

  Actualize and Instigate - Another from "Realign the Moon"

  And This Is How It Will End - The closer from "Realign the Moon"

Download (unmixed)

500b Moozlerisms

This set is an overview of my mid-late period (2003-2010), just before the work compiled on "Where it Ended."  

  Top Shelf Whiskey - my response to watching Brisco County Jr

  Archazi Trib Long Loops - abandoned project based on samples provided by Archazi

  Forlorn #7 - a track I dramatically reworked several times

  Graven Image (Grave Dub #2) - A reworked track from an abandoned album

  Untitled - A collaboration with my friend Matt, this was what I provided, he never responded.

  We All Fall Like Rome (Dirty Version) - This is a one-take jam I did, taking inspiration from Jesu, Envy and Sunn O)))

  An Affair To Remember (Guitar version) - This was my response to a friend's film release party, he still owes me money for some soundtrack work I did on another film.

  Untitled Excerpt (Succubus) - A reworked track from my "Realign" period

  It May Be - A track based on scrambling some samples from my friends the Wild Angels

  The Farmer - A hodgepodge, the title comes from the Kimya Dawson track I sampled

  Onset - Opening track from "Realign the Moon" album, sets the tone for the rest of those pieces.

  Patiently - Another track based on more from the Wild Angels.

  Serenade in A Major - A classical guitar piece I wrote, sadly the resolving chord is cut off.  This is part of a six piece suite - though the recordings are pretty rough for the rest of it.

  Why I Love Colorado - This was reused on my only official album under the title "Seedy Market Street", this is an earlier version.

  Why I Left You - I reused some rap vocals from a coworker back in 1994

500a Its Moozler Time!

Despite my wonky numbering system, this is my 500th mix here and to celebrate that milestone I figured it was time I veered from the standard for just a short while.

Once upon a time I was pretty active in creating music.  Raised as a classical guitarist, then playing in an alternative rock band in the mid-90s, a punk band in the late 90s, finally re-focusing on electronic and noise based music with my guitar based midi converter, 303, and rudimentary 2 second sampler I attacked my imagination with ferocity.

I released one official album, one semi-official EP, two tracks on film scores, one college project, one tribute album, two tracks on other tribute albums, and the rest is all bedroom recordings on my 4-track Tascam.  I made several cassettes for friends, and traded a lot of CD-R's online with other musicians. Found a few collaboration opportunities, several artists to remix, and had a lot of fun making a racket and stretching the possibilities of what I thought I could create.

The music in these three mixes is pretty much what you'd expected based on the mixes I've shared.   Best I can compare it to is maybe early His Name Is Alive experiments, Seefeel, Plateau & Download, Tyranny for You era Front242, Nurse With Wound, Pascal Comelade, Faust, Severed Heads, breaks like DJ Shadow, grooves like DJ Wally, and perhaps early industrial like SPK.

Always unique and sometimes painful.  20+ years on I still genuinely like this stuff and wish I'd put more effort into production value and mastering.  Armed with a stack of 100's of vintage sci-fi and El Santo movies, I sampled everything from V/VM, Muslimgauze, Crash Worship and Scorn to the Sundays, Lush and Kimya Dawson; and whatever I could find in-between.  Plus I was nefarious and would hide tape recorders in my car and house when friends came over for drinks.  Everything was fair game.

Here I present three new selections of tracks, unmixed so the listener can pick and choose what the want to hear.  These supplement the five albums I have available on bandcamp.

First up is a collection of remixes.  This is where I had the most fun.  I was a site admin for a mp3 sharing site focused on independent musicians.  Many of them reached out asking for a remix of one of their tracks and I happily obliged.  Struck up a friendship with a few artists that continue today.  This complements the album "Not What You Hoped For."

498 9A Am I Seeing Doubles?

The next two mixes are also from that same stash of unearthed mixes from 2006.  This one however has been modernized somewhat.  What I found was a mix that had about 8 or 9 artists with two tracks, and about 6 more artists with only one track.  I figured I'd update this a bit, so I could have two separate mixes with one track from each of these artists.  I really wanted this to work out where it would be the same order of artists on both mixes, but the tracks just didn't flow that well together.  There are a couple anomalies between these two mixes, but I don't think it matters that much in the grand scheme of things.

495 From Post-Punk to No Wave (a mix from 2006)

Here is another one from the archives.  I made a robust set of 10 mixes sometime in 2006, covering all aspects of the music styles I listened to around that time.  This one is no wave, post-punk, and some wild and crazy stuff in-between.  I'd had this Crawling Chaos track for decades and it was tagged with the comment "Rumored to feature Ian Curtis."  I doubt there is much to that rumor, which likely came about because this album was released Factory records in early 1980.  The Anosi track is also a mystery, I have no information on it, and had actually found the same file on another blog and Last.Fm with this same cryptic title.  The tracks by Akineton Retard and Ocaso Epico were untitled on my hard drive.

494A Mick Harris' Projects mix 1

This is my selection covering the breadth and depth of Mick Harris' musical career.  I can't think of any other musician that has such variety in styles.  Starting more or less as the blast beat drummer from Napalm Death, and then covering everything from techno, drum and bass, dub step (years before it became a thing), avant garde, ambient, and drones.  Seriously, this is all over the place between these two mixes.  I did include Scorn four times in total, as I wanted to represent the evolution of their sound.  Yes Nick Bullen leaving the group dramatically changed the sound, and Mick Harris kept it going and evolving to the wonderful beast it is today.  The rest of these tracks represent his aliases, though some are full fledged musical projects involving others.  Each one certainly has its own distinct sound and vibe.  Incredible to think these are all from the same creative mind.

The projects of his that I didn't include are listed here; mostly omitted due to very long track lengths.
