I somehow managed to thrift the most fascinating tape yesterday!! I bought it because the cover seemed whimsical, and listening to it for the first time was a TRIP! It was released in 1989, and is a genre of music called ā€œfilkā€œ. Apparently filk/filking has been a nerd thing for a while, and it’s basically sci-fi/fantasy folk music! Check it out!

Randomly got this record in the $1 bin at my local library because the cover caught my eye. It’s all instrumental music played pretty hypnotically by Ruth on her zither. Can’t find it on any of the streamers, but you can listen at the link attached ✨

here's a completely under the radar gem of weirdo bedroom folk pop filled with bubblings of synths and fluttering flutes and random eclectic acoustic instrumentations, fragments of hooks and choruses, digressions into distortions and reemergences of natural ambiances with waterfall sounds, harps, xylophones, all mixed together in such a wonderful and fascinating way and i've been obsessed now for months... it sounds to me as if daniel johnston in his prime had access to a DAW.

This is sooo sick I learned about Harry Partch from the AnaĆÆs Nin documentary I posted about a week ago. I was interested because she said he made his own percussive instruments and what I heard in that documentary actually reminds me a lot of my dad’s music from his band in the 70s and 80s where he also played his own elaborate custom percussive instruments. it’s weirdly very similar should probably ask him about this… very strange eclectic music and you can tell he has a god-tier level of music theory comprehension. EXTREME OUTSIDER ARTIST VIBES LOL.
also I share a birthday with him so slay…

I literally can’t recommend this series enough!! It’s a sci-fi/necromancy series with a sapphic subplot, and the world building is actually phenomenal! So complex and detailed in every chapter šŸ˜­ā¤ļø the second book is a space opera and is my favorite
