Shuffling time and scale. Autonomous creation. The chaotic edges between systems.
Without meaning to imply judgement of your personal tastes, here are some of my top favorites. You can also usually add offshoots of these projects and still be zoned in on my taste (mostly old :/) : Skinny Puppy, Cabaret Voltaire, Hafler Trio, Nurse With Wound, Big Black, Wire, Legendary Pink Dots , Throbbing Gristle, Franz De Ward, all I've heard on the Touch label, Einsteurzende Neubauten, almost everything on Ground Fault has been a necessity, Merzbow, Masonna, Aube, Speedy J, Synapscape, Swans, Wolf Eyes. Local music favorites: Babyland, 400 blows, Crisis, Kraig Grady, Solid Eye, Spastic Colon, Fin, Damion Romero , New Collapse, Year Future, Kitten Sparkles.
No more heroes. Take up your cause.
