Jim O'Rourke - Happy Days



I'm surprised O'Rourke hasn't been awarded the MacArthur Fellowship yet. His work ranges from glowing ambient to collective acoustic solo guitar. "Happy Days" pulls your soul out and forces it to do hard drugs.

Yuh.

For those interested, I uploaded two mixtapes O'Rourke sent to me in 1989. They are mostly electroacoustic things he was discovering and listening to while in college. Includes such composers as Dolden, Parmegianni, Francois Bayle, Robert Ashley, Pierre Henry and much more- Check it out at my Sound Genetic blog
