That japanscratch is the best thing I've heard in ages. Ages. It is just so good. Exactly what I want from a piece of music nowadays. It's like something from the future I dialed in on the worldband when I was a kid. There should be a term for this type of mix... not ambient...maybe "slideshow"... no, too specific... maybe "overheard." Yes, Overheard music. I want tape after tape of Overheard music playing in a continual loop on my boombox, along with projected video like the signs and posters of Ozu I linked last week. All the melodrama and shitty acting edited out of films and just scenes of signage, migrant workers, empty stages, costumes on hangers, ill-fitting tuxedos and tables and chairs.

So overheard music and underseen films... this is what I want my altermodern to consist of.
