Aw, I liked it more than Y.I.F. did, but I can see where he's coming from. Some segments on here do seem to stew in their own seriousness.

7- Aram Shelton presents a drum attack plus saxophones that makes for a nice piece, kind of avant-jazzy.

6- Alee Kareem is the bassist for punk/noise attack band Mute Socialite. This track (led by Shayna Dunkelman, also of Mute Socialite, on vibes) is the opposite: an exercise in spare, lingering tones.

A sampler of sorts from whats latest at Mills College. A bunch of avante non musicial mostly boring stuff that had to be done. If you ever wonder what getting an advanced degree in composition from a high falutin school is like followed by a “career” in music academia then check this out. Then kill yourself or snort a lot of meth, cuz it doesn’t get any lamer than this. Mind you, I only added this for “educational purposes”.

1) subltle noise with echoey indecipherable female spoken word
2-4) random noises, blips, tones, washes
5) skronky jazz, with female vocalizations, very avante jazz
6) intense waves of tones, chill and hypnotic
7) cacophony of percussion, all things, with a slow melody of brass
8) echoey guitar tones, dirty electronics, a chill weirdness
9) chill piano with violin accompaniment
10) minimilist tones, yawn
11) avante sound collage, organic tones
12) blippy arty
13) blippy arty
14) okay, I remember my first bongos
15) in nice tone to start, then spoken word intellectualism, completely unlistenable
