History of Electronic / Electroacoustic Music (1937-2001)
About the History of Electroacoustic Music
When I started uploading the collection, in 2009, I was an undergraduate student of a composition class at UNESP [Universidade Estadual Paulista (State University of São Paulo)] at the university’s studio for electroacoustic music, PANaroma. Our professor made this collection, I believe, from his particular library, picking up some works that he found important. So there was this pile of CDs for us to hear as a kind of assignment. Because I could not be at the studio all the time I ripped the CDs to my computer so I could hear them at home. It was a natural thing then to start sharing it via the famous rapidshare, although it was not an all altruistic idea: the donwloads got me points that allowed me to get an account for downloading other shared material.
After I was done uploading I asked if someone could build a torrent so the works could be shared more easily. I didn’t know if it was done or not until a friend of mine tells me that ubuweb published the collection. It was a very pleasant surprise since I, like many, admire a lot the work done in this website.
So I’m very proud and happy to see this here. I just want to clarify two things since it seems that my iniciative became some sort of legend, which is very funny. First, my college is a kind of a center of the most tradicional, western avant-garde electronic music, so I certainly agree that it leaves a lot of people outside, but leaving outside people working at the bounds of this tradition, and the area of Europe-America, was expected. I’m not saying that it’s fair! Second and last, although woman are certainly an exception, I don’t believe it was intentional to have few works by woman, it has more to do with the way our society and the tradition this music represent works.
Enjoy listening!

dagSounds: Burn Out Sessions & Torrents
Monday morning in Seoul and I’m setting up my equipment to record another Burn Out Sessions. I thought I’d post another list of my torrents and prior Burn Out Sessions. The Sessions are pretty good, I think, for the cheap means I have at my disposal to mimic a set from my small Seoul flat. I really do miss my turntables and records. The Sessions are more therapy than anything. Anyway, the sessions are glorified mixtapes in one track. Since I’ve stored my equipment, I figured I should learn my way around the software I’ve never used. I’ve written about it before…broken record.
The Burn Out Sessions:
- No 6: Contort Yourself
- No 5: Stakes is High
- No 4: Bombed Out Lovers
- No 3: Live Fast Love Hard Die Young

DagSeoul: Positions, Populations, Punk, Poetics: Want to be a dj
Excellent!
Never really rocked a club, but I started out on radio doing punk rock in 84, with the last show being “The 2 Minute Warning” - three hours of songs less than 3 minutes long, no commercials.
Moved on to post punk, free jazz, experimental. The last radio show I ever did was Melody Unasked For on Bloomington IN’s WFHB back in 96. I played music for twenty minutes, then spent the remaining hour and forty minutes overdriving the mixing console, inching tape on the reel-to-reel, feeding back the turntable cartridges on stationary records, recording the output, looping it back with added electronics, playing that tape back on a handheld cassette recorder over a $10 toy mic, etc. Good times.
With all the adulation the club culture heaps on DJs and their technical skills, the whole DJ thing tends to be pretty retarded (retarded here is meant literally). Very few even take it beyond John Cage’s “Cartridge Music”. There’s so much that can be done; the surface hasn’t even been scratched (if you’ll excuse the expression).
I agree. My old dj partner and I—we were roommates for a couple of years—played in bars around town. The coolest thing we did we called Colour. It was an improvised and weekly three-hour set performed live in a local bar’s performance space. We used three turntables, four track, pedals, vox organ, a Korg mini-moog, a rhythm generator, among other things. Sometimes a third friend would join. We all kind of dj’d at the same time, playing off each other. We didn’t even coordinate the vinyl we’d bring. That’s the kind of thing I like.
But I still enjoy going to a bar, setting up my space, and playing a long set, affecting the mood of the room, getting the patrons into a groove, destroying it after awhile, only to revise it. I always tell the bar owners that I’ll stick to a narrow genre, but I rarely do. I have yet to get punished for it, although I have emptied a bar before.
I’m not a club guy. I love radio. It’s mostly about the records for me. Finding tracks that work together, for various reasons, finding wonderful breaks in unexpected places, finding cool transitions. I prefer to keep it analog—I don’t like manipulating the mix with my computer. At all.
When I started going to the bars, nobody was doing it except for the two of us and a couple of other guys. The idea was new. Nobody wanted to let us in to their bars. This was the mid90s. By 1999, it was beginning to catch on every where. And in the early 2000s, when I’d visit friends in NYC or Kansas City, even, there were people playing records at all the hip bars. It happened quick.
Wacky 80’s-style music video from criminally under appreciated Chicago free jazz warrior Hal Russell. Hal was the free jazz bridge to the punk/no wave/noise scene in Chicago, playing with people such as Ken Vandermark, Mars Williams, and Weasel Walter (whose Flying Luttenbachers were named after Russell).
hell yes
Four Discs of Shortwave Mania?
FUCK YEAH!
Like. You’re familiar with the Conet Project, right? I included some of the numbers station recordings on my last Burn Out Session.

Fungi Girls - All Night Blues
Fungi Girls’ Some Easy Magic is out now through Hozac Records.
Hozac Records gets some serious love from me. I collected all their 45s until moved to Korea. Worth the hassle to find the rare early 7-inches.
dagSounds: Rhino’s DIY Series
I’ve recently posted three torrents over at Demonoid. If you like the amazing garage band Dead Moon, if you’re a fan of post 60s fried Japanese hard rock and freakout, you should check out my torrents.
The third torrent is for Rhino’s 9 volume DIY series.
From my torrent description:
This torrent compiles the 9 albums of Rhino’s DIY series on punk, post-punk and power pop, from 1993.
I gathered the files over the last couple of years and thought it’d be cool to see them in one torrent, with accurate tags.
My favorite is Mass Ave: The Boston Years. Many folks love The Modern World, volume 2 of the UK Punk compilation. I find the punk albums include a lot that is easily available elsewhere before and after this series was published. The Boston volume and the power pop volumes are very good. Nevertheless, the 9 albums together present a great anthology of punk’s progress 1975-1985.
DIY: Come Out And Play - American Power Pop I (1975-78)
DIY: Shake It Up! - American Power Pop II
DIY: Teenage Kicks - UK Pop I (1976-79)
DIY: Starry Eyes - UK Pop II (1978-79)
DIY: Anarchy In The UK - UK Punk I (1976-77)

dagSounds: Dead Moon
If you’re on demonoid, check out my torrent. That’s almost the complete discography. I’m missing my records—all in storage in the US while I’m in Korea. I thought I’d share a little.
Dead Moon were amazing. Great folks. Great music. Great live.
Anyway, here’s my torrent. Pass it on.
I love Korea. Love calling Seoul my home. Love my Korean family. But boy do I hate K-Pop. I made this to sum up my feelings about mindless, corporate Korean Pop and its fans as it and they destroy music one unimaginative, stupid single at a time.
Korea actually has a very cool Rock and Roll history. (There are posts about it in the DagSeoul and DagSounds archives. You can find good stuff on the good links left on this old post about Korean Psych and Acid Folk. Some of the links are dead, unfortunately. If I had my turntables in Korea, I’d upload everything I have found.) Some amazing artists. Even the old 노래 style is great compared to contemporary pop, which is actually little more than repackaged pop music from other places, sometimes simply plagiarized, accompanied by awfully boring lyrics, and mostly intended to sell junk Samsung, LG, Doosan, Kia and other corporations produce.
Manipulated Image produced from the wonderful Marty Perez “kill a punk for rock and roll” photo that was eventually used on the great Oblivians album, Popular Favorites. Love this photo. Perez took it at a Black Sabbath concert in Seattle, 1982. Sabbath was opening for Dio.)
