This one smells very strongly of vanilla. Hence this explanation about Mesmo's music: in a world that would only know vanilla cakes, Mesmo puts forward us vanilla essence. (It's an analogy like any other).

I was having trouble waking up this morning.  Now I'm awake.  Thanks.

Strömkarlen on the track ”Tiger”: 
I wanted my contribution to be a live take with no post production. I interpreted the picture as a depiction of controlled chaos. Something encapsuled wants to break out. I tried to illustrate that using modular synthesizers and a broken filter.

Strömkarlen - Tiger

I'm working on this kind of intense free improvisation with electric guitar. I played this solo improvisation today. Just several distortion/overdrive/fuzz-units and telecaster abusing.

I have never washed this window and never will

Trailing Half-Night

Well (Håkan) https://soundcloud.com/user-370942421-686440500 had an open collaboration track https://soundcloud.com/user-370942421-686440500/glycerine-2025-05-31-20-58 and Claude https://soundcloud.com/claudelebelge just dropped an open collaboration track also, https://soundcloud.com/claudelebelge/08062025-download-my-drone ...a very organic approach to creating one - you need to check his page on how he came up with it!
I thought they might go good together, and added some guitar run through an EHX S9...

...or don't remember

Racing ahead with no headlights on

Some Things Cannot Be Ignored
Cancer
Toothaches
Going Blind

The hedge fund glare assumes the golden dawn
And it races ahead with no headlights on
While the "99" club struggles the ongoing fare
The cost of which is an unsettling dare,
to stay alive.

Given our long history, that's us, well...
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT MANKIND.
...it's simply insanity.

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
