Do you enjoy repetitive music?
What's your favorite repetitive band/record.

pbradley · 07.29.2008, 09:23 AM

Sonic Youth, of course.

le fall

yesterday at a rehearsal with one of my new bands we wrote a 15 minute song that all i do is play the e chord over and over again with a few variations.
reptitive music is awesome

SYRFox · 07.29.2008, 09:30 AM

Animal Collective's "Visiting Friends" is based on the same concept, one only chord played during 12 minutes, it's actually awesome

_slavo_ · 07.29.2008, 09:30 AM

Goem
Phillip Jeck
Steve Reich

MellySingsDoom · 07.29.2008, 09:51 AM

Loop
Cluster
Om

In general, yes.
My favourite repetitive record might be Tony Conrad & Faust "Outside the dream syndicate"... At least, it is the first to come to my mind at the moment.

what would qualify as a repetitive music?

most music is repetetive in some way.

electronic techno msuic is repetetive is a wholly tedious, boring, redundant, easy way.

also, i like the repetitive aspect of many krautrock music... things like "Hallo Gallo", "Ruckzuck", the steady rythm of "It's a rainy day, sunshine girl"... it's the aspect that probably attracted me most to krautrock, all those motorik rythms...

SonicBebs · 07.29.2008, 10:41 AM

what?

MellySingsDoom · 07.29.2008, 10:41 AM

I hear that Awesome Rock Win have a "song" which is all the bassists wailing away on one bass note for 78 minutes - like Rhys Chatham's "Guitar Trio" but with added low-end kickassery.

Cool drawing.

To me , repetition=boredom.
It applies to Earth ( a lot ) , Swans , Zeni Geva .

Yet some repetitive music is cool like the Fall , Loop , Luxurious Bag .

Yep , music is repetitive ( except free-jazz maybe ).
The matter is how much repetition can you enjoy/endure ( like the intro of the last song of "Psychic Hearts" ).

o o o · 07.29.2008, 10:59 AM

hmmm... I also like the repetition in Fela Kuti's music...
and lately i found myself listening to stuff by Ricardo Villalobos that i really liked... like "Fizheuer Zieheuer" which is 70 minutes of repetition...
"repetitive music" is quite a large field, but i guess i'm endurant if that's what you're asking...

leakyheadboy · 07.29.2008, 11:00 AM

WAIT!!! how the fuck did i forget Satie's "Vexations" its this played 840 times!

o o o · 07.29.2008, 11:07 AM

i think "Sister Ray" was the first song that developed my interest in repetitive music, or at least in elongated tracks with a steady rythms...
