This week in the music area of Art+Culture, we continued our exploration of ‘Quiet Music.’ (Read [Part 1] and [Part 2]) Here are some highlights:

1. I posted an interesting article from Wired Magazine about lowercase sound, an extreme form of minimalist ambient music. [read]

2. GraceAnne brought to our attention Disquiet.com, a great site about ambient and electronic music. Her post also includes a cute video by the musician Pogo, based on Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. [read]

3. I spent some time adding some seminal artists to the Ambient category:

Steve Roach [view profile]

I posted a YouTube video of Roach’s piece Something in Tears, from his album Quiet Music 2. [watch]

Robert Rich [view profile]

Video of a recent piece by Rich, Mythos from his album Music from Altas Dei. [watch]

Biosphere [view profile]

Video of Hyperborea, from the album Substrata. [watch]

Hyperboa uses some dialogue from Twin Peaks, which inspired me to make a little page with composer and David Lynch collaborator Angelo Badalamenti. [view profile]

Of course, I had to post opening titles to Twin Peaks, a favorite of mine. (see below)

As always, feel free to leave comments or post some of your own ‘Quiet Music.’
