926am Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Sugimoto Taku - Myshkin Musicu (Slub music). Kind of an obscure one. Japanese minimal guitarist. I would love to find a copy of this cd. $160 offer. Thanks all! Edited October 28, 2012 by 926am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Bivins Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 If you're not wedded to the physical object, Ubu has this one up for legitimate download: http://www.ubu.com/sound/sugimoto.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 FWIW, I actually enjoyed this disc, listening to the material on ubuweb. Normally I find lowercase stuff kind of off-putting, but this is so damn weird it's hard not to like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rostasi Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 lowercase stuff Please explain what that term means? Very quiet sound that usually sits inside ambient sound or silence. Here's a compilation (I'm on it BTW). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
926am Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 lowercase stuff Please explain what that term means? I never heard that term myself. But knowing what the music sounds like I made an educated guess (not much going on). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yeah, that was my extrapolation as well, just wondering if there was some sort of "school" that used the term as a formal signifier or some such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 About a dozen years ago, I used to be on a forum on which Steve Roden was involved (he coined the term "lowercase"). Lowercase grew in popularity (such as it is) by way of that forum and spread. We did a few compilations. Some were directly lowercase with ambient sound catches and another series of discs involved arranged compositions using lowercase sound ideas.

JSngry Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've probably heard some of this music and not realized that it was "called" that. No formal precepts, then, just an overall aesthetic? Makes perfect sense, actually, just never would have thought of music in terms of "lower case" myself. Always something new to learn!
