When I listen to this, I wonder if a cyborg would perceive something like this in its head. https://youtu.be/Z8R7lgW7SZo I'll keep this request in mind though. I'm currently in search of the 'new sound' but organic. It started with recommending the Japonize Elephants to the composer of my new favorite band, Tambura Rasa, whom happened to be delighted that others were creating music in the same vein as he makes. Then I found the composer of the Japonize Elephants, Sylvain Carton, and am going through the dozen or so projects he's been a part of, and then digging into each band member to see what other cool projects each of them partake in. Since this is something that also piques my interest, I'll see what I can dig up. Maybe Blaerg, Loscil, or Qebrus worked on similar themes in collaboration?
