Words about music (791): Nick Beggs
I think it’s important to be sympathetic to the ensemble but when I play I want to dominate my sector. The bass should make your body do what your mind is unsure about. Most producers don’t know how to mix bass. Turn it up. Louder. That’s the way it should be in most cases. I’m rarely happy about the level of the bass on most things I hear.

Exploding Skull: Coyote

Brooklyn based guitarist Peter Joseph (OOF, Pelvi$$, Rathaus) moves at a snail's pace on Coyote, the new album by his Exploding Skull project. Inspired by Zen medidation the compositions flow languidly, with a bit of feedback and crackling static noises working a double shift as seasoning and lo-fi percussion.
Sometimes bending the notes so far that they are about to break or go out of tune, he plays a game of tension and release. Metal heads will love it as a come down album, and avant-garde and noise affiocianodas will appreciate the exploration of the outer regions of ambient and use of drones. Joseph can make his guitar sound like a totally alien instrument. His determined pushing of the boundaries opens up a unique sonic palette, enabling him to create textures and chord progressions that sound fresh and adventurous.
