Apr 24 : "NYC Metro: Train Core" - 185668232 (Brooklyn)

New Music / Freshly Written & Recently Released (Dec 2018)

Catching up on posts. A few weeks ago I went to see Brooklyn musician and noise artist 185668232 do a show at Goldsounds. 185668232 is the solo project of my friend, Iam S. Mick. He just came out with a new album, "Existure" which can be found and purchased on Bandcamp.

The Goldsounds show started off well but some unexpected electrical drama came along and threw him a curve ball. While a little flustered for a few seconds, he managed to figure a way to work around the issue and move the show forward.

Iam's song structures are a little similar to those of jazz musicians, where he starts off by stating a theme, and then, for the rest of the piece, plays around with that theme, builds upon it and does variations.

An example of that method can be found in his recent video, "NYC Metro: Train Core", where he begins the piece with the familiar closing door chimes and the also familiar "Please stand clear of the closing doors". He splices those and intertwines them into an interesting piece where they become a playful backdrop to the staccato rumbling and churning sounds of the trains.

Here is "NYC Metro: Train Core" released just this past December :::
