Notes #234: Utopianisti: Brutopianisti
Sound: A primal, one man show of brutal prog; bewildering avant-garde metal
Specifics: [N] -Everything is done by one Markus Pajakkala; aside from occasional synth contributions done by guests -Just over 30 minutes -Not very dense -Haven’t heard a xylophone in a while -Very eclectic, almost breakbeat sometimes? It has some pretty trendy guitar tones here and there too. None of these elements make the project any more accessible -Barrage of squishy percussion and scattered jazz drumming gone amok -Throat singing is a large component of the vocals, especially the first half of the album -This is what progressive music should be; this is a fuckin’ weird schmorgas board of incredibly niche genres and musical tradition, all thrown together into this melting pot of staccato mysticism and brutal sonic tradition -This would be one hell of an Osu! beatmap
