Vziel Projet Listening List 23: aureolin drifter - aureolin drift

 

Artist: aureolin drifter
Genre: Avant-Garde Classical
Label: Genetic Trance
CAT#: N/A
Year: 2019

So far (to my knowledge) the only release of the mysterious alias, aureolin drifter. Is a two minute single of rhythmic and minimal snare patterns, sounds like it was inspired by Steve Reich's Clapping Music.

Vziel Projet Listening List 16: Hooligan Faust - Better Than You

 

Artist: Hooligan Faust
Genre: Avant-Garde Classical
Label: Immoral Basement Records
CAT#: IBR_301
Year: 2017

This was actually the first Hooligan Faust release that I heard, and its a short two track EP. Both tracks on the release are really nice and incredibly diverse, completely changing direction and sound every few bars. At some moments its surprisingly melodic/harmonic, at other moments its an assault of what sounds like 90s PC game SFX, and other times more like a score. As with the alias's "theme", its a lot of out dated and bizarre soundfonts, which gives it a really cool sound (also, more people should experiment with soundfonts, is underrated and fun).

Vziel Projet Listening List 14: Hooligan Faust - Farnsworth Determinant

 

Artist: Hooligan Faust
Genre: Avant-Garde Classical
Label: Genetic Trance
CAT#: GT929
Year: 2018

The stuff Vziel does under the name of Hooligan Faust has always been really interesting me. Often is avant-garde classical and/or melodic tunes with a heavy focus on outdated and bizarre soundfonts, as well as pitching various percussion and sound effects. Farnsworth Determinant is one of my favorite releases of the alias, a two track EP, and I love the weird soundfonts and sounds in the title track; reminds me a lot of old PC games that I used to play as a kid. The second track is cool too with a heavy focus on percussion and a more minimal approach, with some of the motifs of the title track re-appearing.
