Before Industrial music changed experimental music into something far more sinister, Daphne Oram and her contemporaries were having fun making odd sounds.

[Music] Sten Erland Hermundstad – Pictures Of A Piano
Sten Erland Hermundstad is a Norwegian pianist I stumbled across while cleaning out my Soundcloud account. He plays in a truly sublime fashion and would have done well had he been signed to an appropriate label like ECM Records.
[Music] Cluster – Fotschi Tong
Cluster are the grandfathers of ambient and electronica. This is one of great places to start if you want to learn the history of electronic music.
[Music] Hakobune ~ Apsidal Motion / Chihei Hatakeyama & Corey Fuller ~ Euphotic — a closer listen
Takahiro Yorifuju’s music is soothing and supple, but new heights are reached on the single, 42 minute Apsidal Motion. Inspired by the starlit sky of Nigata and the countryside of Japan, Apsidal Motion is a dreamy delight. Above all, it’s beautiful music, and we mustn’t take its beauty for granted.

[Music] Sons Of Kemet – In The Castle Of My Skin
Britian-based Sons of Kemet bring together a fusion of Nubian, Egyptian, jazz and even a Gypsy sound with a raucous beat. Wicked stuff!
[Music] Otomo Yoshihide @ Transformer Station, Cleveland 5/09/16
From the Youtube site of Rob Galo:
Otomo Yoshihide’s entire performance at the gallery Transformer Station, in the Hingetown / Ohio City district of Cleveland, Ohio. The concert took place on 5/09/16. It was part of the concert series CMA At The Transformer Station.
Otomo’s set that evening composed of Ornette Coleman’s “Lonely Woman,” his own composition “The Blue Kite” (I believe) and Charlie Haden’s “Song For Che,” in that order.
[Music] Lubomyr Melnyk feat. Mionia – I Love You (Catedral de Viseu, Portugal, 4 Julho 2015)
I grew up around a piano. I dated an Italian pianist (ugh). My priests all played piano. I damn near lost interest in the instrument until I stumbled onto the work of Lubomyr Melnyk a few years ago. The piano has been beautifully redeemed thanks to the sheer beauty, intricacy and power of his work.
