I mentioned some of Frank Zappa’s warped collages of recorded voice and instrumental passages. The piece I specifically mentioned was “Are You Hung Up?” from We’re Only In It for the Money (1968). In the context of the discussion, though, I was really thinking of so many of his recordings that are obscured because they’re awkwardly-miked live recordings, e.g. “The Old Curiosity Shoppe” on Finer Moments (1972/2012). The latter half of “Flower Punk” from We’re Only In It for the Moneyis an example of the extensive static-but-agitated moments he builds. Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music (1975) lends itself better to moment listening as I was discussing it.
I also mentioned Bill Frisell for his reputation for placid textures and recent use of loopers to build them. Here are a couple videos of him demonstrating some of his techniques:
