Notes

Not much.

I didn’t do much active listening this week due to a rather hectic work week and I needed to hunker down with Endel to get into a flow state. Surprisingly, I also opted for listening to various podcasts on my commutes to work, and also opted for the brain rot of television instead of listening to music for relaxation. 

Despite all that, this week’s two entries are very interesting. They come as algo-reccomendations after an album that I’d be listening to but was not included in this playlist. That album is Songopora #1 by Sun Eye and Faux which includes a lot of samples from Southeast Asian folk music from the Malaya region and is perhaps one of the more interesting representations of the cultural form as opposed to abstract compositions and field recordings. Listening to that album paved the way to Yip, Yip, Yip by LI YILEI and American Moss by Salami Rose Joe Louis and Flanafi, both of which feature bold arrangements and instrumental soundscapes.
