braver newer musics

Do you ever think to yourself, "I am not reaching my potential as a pretentious person?"
Sometimes I feel this way. To fix this, I went to an experimental music festival this weekend.


INSTAL, an annual pretentiousness festival, was pretty much as ridiculously obnoxious as advertised. A lot of it was obtuse for the sake of being obtuse - a lot of it was about how to destroy self-expression in music. That said, there were some really cool parts that were doing something really interesting. I was there for Saturday for about six hours until I really couldn't take it any more - I left shortly after a piece that was entirely samples of sirens.

Soon I will post some tunes again, I promise! I've met a couple of DJs, so if you are looking for some hot beats, this should tide you over for a while. (This second link will contain some Braver Newer Musics from Instal.)
