EUREKA!
By

el_duroupdated 11 months agoSome musical ruptures are so penetrating, so incisive we just can’t help but exclaim EUREKA! While many of our picks here defy categorization and test the boundaries of what exactly discerns ‘music’ from ‘noise', others complement or continue anachronistic traditions that have provided new forms and ways of listening. We consider the section a work-in-progress, so expect its definition to be in perpetual flux. – TMT
Created by the Tiny Mix Tapes webzine (2001–2020), "[the] EUREKA! award is given to albums not on the basis of some intrinsic notion of quality, but rather based on their capacity to challenge the limits of music and representation." – Gabriel Samach, TMT

Tara Sinn + Blues Control – My Afterlife Is So Boring II
2015
Styles: fun drone, puka-shell kraut, HTML
Others: Eric Copeland, Kwjaz, Molly Soda
"Released [by Blues Control] as sonic accompaniment to artist Tara Sinn’s My Afterlife Is So Boring II project – published on multimedia publishing platform NewHive – the six short pieces forego the usual music-release structure, being wedded to Sinn’s images to create a delightful mini-trip through an online wonderland. Unlike the opposing hierarchies implied in, say, a CD release or a gallery installation, the images and sounds here are in total symbiosis, without any need to separate one from the other."
