A Closer Listen is a wonderful website that reviews instrumental and experimental music. The albums they select are amazing and their reviews are very well-written. They did a really cool list of end-of-year stuff (e.g., best album covers, best in X genre, happiest albums). They've given me much joy the past month or so. The more experimentally inclined folks here might enjoy visiting them. As a point of beginning ... I'm listen to dunjin000.bandcamp.com/album/the-conqueror-worm now, which is drone-y stuff about Edgar Allen Poe's stuff, I think? I'll probably shell out ten bucks to get this score to the game Everything tonight -- three hours of well-done, ambient-based music. This also tempts my malnourished and contused walltet: homenormal.bandcamp.com/album/faintly-recollected (the five-minute track currently available for listening is b-e-a-utiful! gorgeous strings, bells, use of space, etc.). This drone album sounds awesome too: umorrex.bandcamp.com/album/the-shameless-years. All of these came from this website, so I just wanted to share it with y'all.

Really enjoying Gallery Six's ambient work on a winter theme (https://acloserlisten.com/2018/02/23/for-varying-degrees-of-winter/).

Listening to funeral music recorded in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Really cool from an ethnographic standpoint. discrepant.bandcamp.com/album/death-in-haiti-funeral-brass-bands-sounds-from-port-au-prince"15 dead, 15 funerals, 16 funeral processions, 1 procession with no dead, 5 churches, 1 cemetery, 1 wake. 15 hours of recorded sounds are condensed into a vivid sound portrait depicting the way funerals and burials are lived in the Caribbean island of Haiti. Recorded in Port au Prince by sound artist Félix Blume in early December 2016, Death in Haiti plunges the listener into a world of pain, loss and solemn celebration as each funeral comprises of its own live jazz band as well as a plethora of characters like the joker (le blaguer) who cracks jokes and tales about the recently deceased."

Picked up three dope albums for a total of $1.11 at www.musicglue.com/rudi-arapahoe/. Per his website: "Rudi Arapahoe is an English composer. His compositions feature minimal settings of classical chamber instrumentation alongside technology; in inventive, slow moving, spacious arrangements. Conceptually the works are influenced by his formal education in Psychology and centre on themes of identity." Edit: On the off chance that you actually check out his work, I'd choose 'False Self' or 'Double Blind'. The other one I bought is a little on the salacious side.
