about

I like experimental music.

I like it when it’s dreamy.

I like it when it’s weird.

I like it when it’s annoying.

I like it when it’s jazzy.

I like it when it’s noisy.

I like it when it’s overwhelming.

I like it when it’s barely there at all.

I like just like it.

I like finding weird noise compilations in the bargain bin and trying to figure out how they made the sounds that they did.

I like it when a musical genius slaves over a soundscape for years and manages to give you a small piece of themselves in audio form.

I like it when someone that can’t play a note finds an old tape recorder and discovers the strange sounds their keys make when they toss them into a metal bowl like a car crash salad.

To me, experimental music is like an abstract painting. Many will just see a bunch of scribbles and splatters and random shapes. Noise for the eyes, maybe. Some like their art to resemble familiar shapes and the appropriate accompanying colours. “This isn’t Art, my kid could have made this”. For others though, those same abstract paintings, are a whole world unto themselves. Limitless, in its complexity. Nobody is telling you what it’s about or how to feel about it. One person can stare at the same painting for hours, trying to wrap their heads around the complexity of the simplicity. Others can’t look for more than a few seconds. Not because they don’t care, but because they can’t handle the emotions it brings up.

This is what experimental noise is to me.

It may mean nothing to many, but it’s everything to others. Some will turn it off because they just don’t get it, and others will listen to it on a loop, letting it all wash over them like a controlled nightmare. Some will simply close their eyes and let their brain revert to a jello consistency. Alone. In the dark. In the bath. Just me?

So, what’s this all about? Basically, I wanted to see what some of my favourite musicians and friends would do if asked them to step outside their usual genre of choice and step into the weird world of experimental noise. I wasn’t sure if anyone was even going to be interested, and I kind of half expected most of them to smile, pat my head, and send me on my way. But surprisingly, most were into it. Not just into it, but excited. As the songs slowly got completed, and started trickling in, I realized that they weren’t just completely unique, but pushed the genre into directions I hadn’t heard before. I don’t know why I was so surprised, I guess when you ask talented people to create something for you, it’s going to turn out pretty fucking good.

So, in the end, we are left with 15 tracks that are all completely lovely and utterly fucked. I’m very proud of this compilation, and the people involved in it. I hope they got something out of this task, I know so did.

So basically, I hope you enjoy this.

Actually, I don’t really care. I like it. That’s enough.

-Davey (Excellent Jacket)

PS-I arranges the tracks in a way that I thought complimented them if played as a whole. But really it works in any order. Just hit shuffle. It's CD. Isn't the future great?
