His work is the basis of spectralism, which is a branch of composition which less music, more sound evolving through time... It's unsettling stuff.

The track is basically the brilliant Penguin Cafe Orchestra's Music For A Found Harmonium with a beat, so I though I'd post a track or two. Even if you don't think you know the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, I'm sure you'll recognise these from adverts and incidental music.

Nothing can beat being completely baffled when you open the post to find some Cuban hip hop or Kazakh country and western to listen to. And it's nearly always worth a spin. So I'd love to hear recommendations of some of the odder acts out there - any suggestions?
