Félicia Atkinson is a French artist and an avant-garde musician who has been composing music under her own name and the moniker Je Suis Le Petit Chevalier.
Her music is composed of concrete music, ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response) voices, electronics, field recordings, improvisation with guitar and piano, abstract distortions and infra basses - that is low-frequency sounds.

Autonomous sensory meridian responses are a calming, pleasurable feeling often accompanied by a tingling sensation. This tingle is said to originate in a person's head and spread to the spine (and sometimes the limbs) in response to stimulation. The stimuli that trigger ASMR vary from person to person.

I had plans,a schema,an attack
           but they faded due to the fact
that  I decided to have a siesta instead.
  I had a snooze back in bed.
              I can get up early tomorrow and without  no allay
                           do twice as much as I would have done today.
I guess
   that the pace i had been going at has caught up with me or so they say,
and thus
    I feeI I want to be so darn LAZY today. 
And I think
                I am  fine
                                 with that if I  may.

I found another eclectic music nutter on DW - Used Songs and his community called Beautifulmechanical. They too are into all kinds from the avant-garde to nonmainstream pop.

Here is on they posted I have not heard of but love now -

Joey Bada$$ - Land of the Free



Solange - Cranes in the Sky




From the CD  - A Seat AtTheTable.

Wire magazine said -

The psychedelic soul opus Solange Knowles had been threatening to make since she embarked on her solo career in the early 2000s finally materialised in September. Featuring contributions from Solange’s father Mathew Knowles, Lil Wayne, Q-Tip, Questlove, The-Dream, Kelela and The Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth, A Seat At The Table found her artfully walking the line between the personal and the political. Rob Turner said: “Knowles’s first album in eight years… draws you into the shadows and crumbling concrete of America".

Common - Love Is





ENJOY.

Peter Wild (ed) - "The Empty Page: Fiction Inspired By Sonic Youth" (Serpents Tail)




Sonic Youth have inevitably attracted a whole bunch of middlebrow theorists, namedroppers and would-be fellow travellers that have failed – or haven’t really been interested enough – to follow the various subcultural threads that the arc of their career has worked to tie together. Who are all of these people who go to sellout Sonic Youth shows and yet never pick up a record on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label or even know any Sonic Youth albums pre-Daydream Nation?

For most contributors to The Empty Page, Sonic Youth may as well be They Might Be Giants. They openly profess ignorance of their music, boast that they’re the weirdest thing in their collection, reveal how they “didn’t get Sonic Youth” or make confessions like: “I actually don’t know that much about Sonic Youth. I love them in theory of course, who doesn’t?” (Scott Mebus). And there’s the rub. Across the middlebrow USA, they have become shorthand for college lifestyles, vacuous notions of cool, right-on politics, the weakest post-Beat drivel. So we get typical student short stories inspired, basically, by Sonic Youth titles, lamenting the gap between rich and poor, whimsical coming of age garbage and cliched riffing on their “Neil Young influence thrash and trash guitar” (uh?). It’s a mystery why anyone was asked, why anyone would care and why this book even exists. Perhaps I was expecting it to throw some light on these writers affinity to the band and how Sonic Youth has influenced them. Sadly, this a definite miss.
