cocteau twins was one of the influences of some shoegaze bands like my bloody valentine and slowdive...bcoz of the way cocteau twins' guitarist robin guthrie layer his guitar effects and of course the texture of the sound.

you can also check aurora borealis, popular days and candyaudioline in our local shoegaze scene.

daydream cycle shoegaze ba?
Title: Re: Shoegazer music
Post by: Deadwing on October 20, 2007, 07:11:38 AM
daydream cycle shoegaze ba?

Yes...and they can also be lumped into the dreampop genre too. 

I've maintained that Sugar Hiccup can also fall under this category along with twee (gaya ng Camera Obscura tsaka Belle and Sebastian). 

Lagay mo na rin ang Sonnet LVIII diyan.

I've always wondered what shoegaze contributed to electronic music.  My questions were answered when I read the 33 1/3 series book devoted to MBV's Loveless.  I wasn't aware that one of the most important and groundbreaking uses for the sampler was on this record.  It's a highly recommended read if you're a studio rat.

Also, try checking out Ulrich Schnauss' Quicksand Memory EP.  The Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie did remixes on a couple of the songs giving it a different tinge from the original compositions.

I also recommend checking out Maps (a.k.a. James Chapman) whos music is very minimalist, but almost similar to Ulrich Schnauss' approach.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you're looking for shoegaze that's the equivalent of listening to a fleet of Boeing 747's engines up-close, you'll want to check out (former Godflesh guitarist) Justin Broadrick's band Jesu.  It's post-metal/shoegaze combo is one of the most dramatically beautiful things I've ever listened to.  Conqueror is perhaps the best metal album to come out of the genre in ages since it challenges the legacy and doesn't fall into the trap of recycling musical cliches.

i think sheogaze/indiepop/dreampop & their subgenres would not be be compared to any genre but  electronica/triphop music.. pareho kasi ng trip like the melody, voice and the like (if u know what i mean)

malaki ang naging contribution ni tony wilson which made this possible.

check out the pinoy band "taken by cars"..  their music explains it all   :-)

Daydreamcycle? somehow yes, this one is leaning towards hooverphonic, trembling blue stars and correct, MBV on their electronic sound driven stage, which was somewhat a combination of indie, low-fi and electronica.

Got to see M83 last night.  It was one of the most fantastic evenings in my 15 years of seeing shows.  I never thought I'd see the possibilities of keyboards and analog synths playing parts conventionally done by guitars plugged into delay and tremolo pedals.  It was so loud, the drummer had to be enclosed in a fiberglass shield so that he could hear the click track going off in his headphones. 

Anthony Gonzalez is my hero.

shoegaze fan ako dati pa kung shoegaze nga ang Cocteau Twins at My Bloody Valentine, at the best na shoegaze album ang MBV's Loveless., yun nga lang, baka mali ang definiton ko kasi shoegaze daw ang Taken by Cars.,
tama ba ang dinig ko?!

Medyo marami na ang ipinagbago ng shoegaze mula sa classic definition na nakilala mo sa MBV, Medicine, Ride, Swervedriver, etc.  Marami nang kahalo ang shoegaze gaya ng metal (gaya ng bandang Jesu) o kaya electronic (gaya ng Dykehouse tsaka na rin si Ulrich Schnauss).  May mga elements ng shoegaze ang TBC, pero hindi sila purong shoegaze band.  Mas indie rock/dance ang dating nila IMO.

Ok, deadwing knows knows his shiz. Props and respect.
I think MBV's loveless is the classic "shoegaze" sound, walls of sound, distorted/fuzzed out chords bleeding into each other, noise that's piercing yet beautiful at the same time, yada yada yada. But that's just me.
Kasi like any other musical genre, mahirap i-label ang isang banda/grupo/tao sa isang tunog lang, laging may elements of this, elements of that, etc. Labeling is bull anyway, but we still like doing it.
Also, as deadwing pointed out, marami naring bands na heavily influenced by at nag incorporate ng shoegaze with other styles; jesu, explosions in the sky, m83, and autolux to name a few. Some people call them nu-gaze, which is very apt I think. Locally, medyo wala pa kong narinig, subukan kong pakinggan yung mga nabanggit, although may mga narinig na kong dreampop at dancey/post-rockish local outfits.

Yeah, I really dig these kinds of soundscapes.  Magiging obvious nga lang na amoy lupa na ako kung sasabihin kong sinubaybayan ko yung mga naunang kombong nag-shoegaze noong panahong medyo credible pa ang Spin magazine *LOL*

what pedals would you prefer sa shoegaze? thanks
Title: Re: Shoegazer music
Post by: Deadwing on July 24, 2008, 06:11:32 AM
what pedals would you prefer sa shoegaze? thanks

An array of either digital or analog delays (one for short and one for long settings...learned this trick from old Joe Satriani pedal diagrams though), a tremolo pedal, harmonic or poly-octave generators, chorus, and phase.  A looper pedal would really be great too.

I personally use Digitech delays, an Electro Harmonix Pulsar tremolo, a Boss CH1 chorus, and an Electro Harmonix POG. 

I'd love to add a Moogerfooger ring mod and a Line 6 looper pedal someday.  Right now, I'm saving up for an Electro Harmonix guitar micro-synth.

...and a Shure SM57 to record amps and vocals  :wink:

support the indiepop/shoegaze scene in the [strawberry]!
mejo naapektuhan lang kasi ako na almost walang audience nung buzznite last monday.it was my first buzznite.and softpillow kisses, candyaudioline and even Dale Marquez played! it was  a great great show.too bad wala masyadong witness.
curious lang ako since rami naman mahilig, pero di naman sumusuporta.


sept 8 ang sunod na buzznite sa mayrics.
di pa complete line up
but do come.

sayang naman kung puro foriegn papakinggan natin e rami ding magagaling dito.


yes, respect the classics...
but then,
respect the others who's keeping the fire aflame.
mas mahirap ginagawa nila.
for the love of music.
the least we can do is to support them.

Speaking of Pinoy acts--of all places I heard this band, it had to be at Seattle-based radio station KEXP.  Moscow Olympics seem to be making waves over here in the US, yet I've barely got any idea where these guys play or how they even managed to get folks in the western world to listen to their music.  I just got their mini-LP called Cut The World in the mail yesterday.  If you like bands like Radio Dept or New Order when they play Ceremony, this should be up your alley.

Support the locals!

And since related sya in a way, is there any sort of noise/drone scene here in the Philippines?

also, i like the techy romantics. it's not shoegaze but some of their slow songs have that "cupid comes" walking down a cold rainy road on thursday nyt kind of vibe. recc'd!!!

they do gigs at rory's cafe in katips i think.

Posible nga na may earplugs sa venue tuwing may tugtugan ang Sunn 0))) pero ako n'un, may sariling dala sa bulsa k'se sadya ko talagang sa harap ang pwesto.  Amps are definitely cranked to the max.  Most venues in the US are equipped for soundproofing so that they can't disturb the nearby housing areas.  Kaya lang meron at meron pa ring tumatawag sa pulis tuwing may tugtugan sa mga venue na malapit sa mga condo/bahay.  Out of the three, talagang ang nasakyan ko, yung set ng Jesu.  I liked them perhaps because I was most familiar with their music out of the three acts.  It was only my first time then to see Eluvium and Sunn 0))) who were also quite impressive but I have to admit that I've got to dig into their recorded catalog a bit more.

Pangarap ko nga ring makita ang MBV, pero wala silang tugtugan na malapit sa atin--mahal na nga air fare ngayon kaya pass muna ako sa tour nila.  I heard they played a blistering set at the annual All Tomorrow's Parties concert in New York the other week.  Check out the lineup that performed:

My Bloody Valentine
Dinosaur Jr
Mogwai
Mercury Rev
Yo La Tengo
Lilys

Check Youtube with the key search "All Tomorrow's Parties" and "My Bloody Valentine" for some uploads from the show.  Mababa nga lang ang mix ng vocals ni Kevin tsaka ni Bilinda (short hair na siya!) tapos full-blast sila sa gitara tsaka samplers...basta, search niyo na lang!  I think I also posted a link earlier in the thread of them performing in Japan at the Fuji Festival too.  Mas klaro yung vocals sa clip na yun.

Is that Ted Parsons on drums?

Yup, that's Parsons on drums.  This was the first time that Justin was able to bring the original Jesu lineup to the US.  I think for that tour last November, they only played 5 cities on the west coast, so it was pretty rare to even see all three acts (Eluvium, Jesu, Sunn 0))) )together.

Great lineup indeed. You are a lucky guy! Parsons is a legend.  I was also amazed to find out that Danny Walker of Intronaut would drum for Jesu occassionaly. He's one of my drumming influences as well.

One of my favorite shoegaze bands is Portland, Oregon's own The High Violets.  Their sound isn't that far different from Sugar Hiccup back in the 90's.

Here's the music video to the band's song Chinese Letter as  remixed by Ulrich Schnauss.

Highly recc'd. Not shoegaze per se, but it's got that rising, epic, super-romantic feel that we all love, and the noise is there in spades.

Love the F*ck Buttons. Their brand of  noise is the polar opposite of Merzbow's.

Went to last night's final show of My Bloody Valentine's US tour.  It was one of the most amazing experiences of my concert-going life.  I doubt I'll ever hear any other band try to fill a cavernous WaMu Theater with decibels of pink noise.  When the band got to You Made Me Realise, the last song of the night (no encores), they blasted close to 20 minutes of what was something similar to a Boeing jet engine's noise.  It felt like the world was going to end.  I closed my eyes and let the noise waves wash over me.  It's such an unforgettable experience.

Here's the set list:

01 I Only Said
02 When You Sleep
03 You Never Should
04 (When You Wake) You’re Still in a Dream
05 Cigarette in Your Bed
06 Come in Alone
07 Only Shallow
08 Thorn
09 Nothing Much to Lose
10 To Here Knows When
11 Slow
12 Soon
13 Feed Me With Your Kiss
14 You Made Me Realise

Someone else managed to capture part of the sonic bliss last night and upload it on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tTONFbFWXk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tTONFbFWXk)

I'll post pictures later.  It's awesome to share this experience with old-guard alternative music fans, metalheads, ravers, and everyone else in between who were part of the audience.

Also, I now have a bigger crush on Bilinda Butcher.  Hottie.

This is just awesome, times awesome  :-o

Also, could be just me, but Bilinda looks like she hasn't aged at all, I think she even looks younger now for some reason

Here are some photos taken from my vantage point plus one from the rear just to show the huge screen behind them.  Kevin and Bilinda seemed to have a different guitar for every song they performed.  I'm sure Kevin, being the obsessive-compulsive that he is, made sure the sounds coming from his guitar were very different from what Bilinda was spouting from her own set of amps.  Combined, they would both mesh to form a thick sheet of guitar textures.

you cal aslo check minus the bear and russian circles...ayus din...

Yeah, you can check them out all right, but they're definitely not shoegaze.  I've seen MTB and they play math-rock.  Russian Circles on the other hand is post-rock. 

Just trying to get the facts straight.  :-D

Just rediscovered Medicine.  They were representing the US at the time that the movement had bands like My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Ride, etc were representing the British Isles.  They did so with grace fitting into the genre.  Their debut record Shot Forth Self Living ranks as one of my personal favorite shoegaze records.

This particular track is from their second album Buried Life.  Here's The Pink:

These New Yorkers are loud.  They mix The Jesus and Mary Chains-influenced psychedelic surf with 80's new wave melodies.  If this fact doesn't arouse your curiosity, their vocalist/guitarist Oliver Ackermann also designs and manufactures his own effects pedals.  His client list includes U2, NIN, and Wilco.

Can't wait to see them perform along side The Big Pink (my other favorite band right now) this coming March.
