Repetitive music
 

Do you enjoy repetitive music?
What's your favorite repetitive band/record.

Sonic Youth, of course.

le fall

yesterday at a rehearsal with one of my new bands we wrote a 15 minute song that all i do is play the e chord over and over again with a few variations.
reptitive music is awesome

Animal Collective's "Visiting Friends" is based on the same concept, one only chord played during 12 minutes, it's actually awesome

Goem
Phillip Jeck
Steve Reich

Loop
Cluster
Om

In general, yes.
My favourite repetitive record might be Tony Conrad & Faust "Outside the dream syndicate"... At least, it is the first to come to my mind at the moment.

ooioo

what would qualify as a repetitive music?

most music is repetetive in some way.

electronic techno msuic is repetetive is a wholly tedious, boring, redundant, easy way.

also, i like the repetitive aspect of many krautrock music... things like "Hallo Gallo", "Ruckzuck", the steady rythm of "It's a rainy day, sunshine girl"... it's the aspect that probably attracted me most to krautrock, all those motorik rythms...

what?

I hear that Awesome Rock Win have a "song" which is all the bassists wailing away on one bass note for 78 minutes - like Rhys Chatham's "Guitar Trio" but with added low-end kickassery.

HE SAYS, HE LIKES THE MOTORIK ASPECT OF KRAUTROCK!

HA!
Cool drawing.

To me , repetition=boredom.
It applies to Earth ( a lot ) , Swans , Zeni Geva .

Yet some repetitive music is cool like the Fall , Loop , Luxurious Bag .

its Jeffery Lewis

here is his low budget video about the fall

Yep , music is repetitive ( except free-jazz maybe ).
The matter is how much repetition can you enjoy/endure ( like the intro of the last song of "Psychic Hearts" ).

hmmm... I also like the repetition in Fela Kuti's music...
and lately i found myself listening to stuff by Ricardo Villalobos that i really liked... like "Fizheuer Zieheuer" which is 70 minutes of repetition...
"repetitive music" is quite a large field, but i guess i'm endurant if that's what you're asking...

WAIT!!! how the fuck did i forget Satie's "Vexations" its this played 840 times!

i think "Sister Ray" was the first song that developed my interest in repetitive music, or at least in elongated tracks with a steady rythms...
