Orange Boy By Vincent Knobil

Vincent Knobil is an avant-garde musician and cartoonist from Paris, France. Vincent’s music — including Orange Boy, the song featured below — can be streamed or downloaded for free from his website. His comic strip is called Geeks In Love.

“There are basically two kinds of listeners: those who like to be surprised, and those who don’t, the latter group outnumbering the first by several orders of magnitude. I belong to the first group, and I can’t listen to – or write – music that doesn’t surprise me, or I lose interest…”

Halloween Night By Monk Turner

Audiosurfing | Discuss

Monk Turner’s Calendar album has been the subject of Audiosurfing twice before — first in June, and again in August. The good times continue here with the album’s October track, Halloween Night.

“With Creative Commons licenses, I have the ability to distribute albums freely to anyone in the world without the need for a distributor and without worrying that someone could be using the songs outside of their intended purpose. I couldn’t do what I do without Creative Commons.” — Monk Turner

Yucca By Dokapi

Audiosurfing | Discuss

Dokapi is a German Jazz-Rock music duo composed of guitarist Titus Köstler-Philipp and pianist Tilman Sommer. Their music is available for free under Creative Commons at their page on Opsound. The song featured below is Yucca; the skysphere is made from an image called Schiermonnikoog: Infrared dunes by Flickr user Aldo.

The name DOKAPI stems from the Esperanto du kapoj (two heads), the duo formed by guitarist Titus Köstler-Philipp and pianist Tilman Sommer. Since the late 80ies the musicians are composing contemplative tracks using elements from Jazz-Rock, Post-Rock, New Age and World Music. The distinctive features are the frequent improvisations by guitar and piano, the emphasis of rhythm and the balance of acoustic and electronic sounds. [...]

Lonely Satellites By Alchemical 9

Audiosurfing | Discuss

Alchemical 9 (A.K.A. Roland Barker) is an electronica artist from Kauai Hawaii. Unlike most artists featured in Audiosurfing, not all of Alchemical 9′s music is available for free, but an appreciable grip of sample songs — including the one featured below, “Lonely Satellites” — is available from his Opsound page. The skysphere used in this video was created by Audiosurf forum user steeldevil.

Despite several lapses into professionalism, my music has always been a personal thing: pursued for reasons of curiosity, fascination, sensuality, and joy. I discovered early on that processes and synthesizers were perfectly suited to my purposes and have ever since been in thrall of sound devices of all kinds. Despite my very experimental nature with music, most of what I share is structured, melodic and literal. There is always an abstract layer present and it is that layer that is typically the inspiration behind each piece. [...]

Augustus By Monk Turner

Audiosurfing | Discuss

It’s the first week of August, so I thought I would begin the month with a selection from Monk Turner’s Calendar album, as I did in June. This song is all about the Roman emperor from whom this month derived its name, Augustus.

Widibf By Binärpilot

Audiosurfing | Discuss

Binärpilot (A.K.A. Binaerpilot, Alexander Støver) is a purveyor of chiptunes from Norway who makes an anti-industry stance with his music and aims to suppress what he calls popollution. In that vein, Binärpilot’s music is distributed for free under Creative Commons via Binaerpilot.no, Jamendo, and a discography torrent. “Widibf,” the song featured below, is from the album Defrag.

These modules are a complete defragmentation of my system.From the second I became self-aware my sensory units were bombarded with stimuli. To categorize and label these I devised a temporary subprogram to aid me in this process. I called it Shawl. The stream of input caused Shawl to expand continously. Eventually she grew beyond her preset parameters and bad blocks started appearing. I had to address this. Defrag is a year of processing human culture and emotions.To create my own expression.

Another Sunday Morning By I Come To Shanghai

Audiosurfing | Discuss

By now, especially if you’re a listener of such gaming podcasts as A Life Well Wasted, Out of The Game or the Bitmob Mobcast, you may have caught wind of the self-titled debut album from Robert Ashley and Sam Frigard’s genre-defying band I Come to Shanghai. Robert and Sam’s labor of love was three years in the making, having co-written and co-produced each of the album’s ten tracks themselves. “Another Sunday Morning,” the song I’ve selected to feature below was, as I understand it, written foremost by Robert Ashley, and is one that I like on a personal level very much.

I Come to Shanghai is being distributed under Creative Commons with a “name your price” model at the band’s official website.
