Quendus is a sound artist who works with noises and piano. Tracks were released on the PowerWorm label before it was discovered that it was easier to release things without emailing them to Sweden.
Despite Quendus’s ability to compose and play music in the western classical tradition, most of these creations are of the sort that people call “”music”” or “not music”. Quendus prefers the terms “noise”, “sound art”, or, preferably, “music”.

Most (so far, all) of Quendus’s music is made according to three principles:
1. This music is made for free (any materials used are either acquired at no cost, or acquired in the course of normal life, for purposes other than sound art).
2. This music is free to be listened to (the only cost is that which the listener pays in the course of their life, such as the cost to run their computer).
3. This music is free of all artistic, aesthetic, anti-aesthetic, and musical restrictions.

What are the chances of getting a chance to listen to a copy of 650 Spiegel Im Spiegeln? Also, just added to pla5tic3la5tic. This means nothing to the rest of the world but is monumental in my own little head, not that I know a thing about music, which is what makes it so great for me, not to know anything. That way I get to set my own standards. Put you in Piebald Composers as well. I just really appreciate finding your music. I appreciate your tagging abilities just as much.

I mean if I was to create a last FM profile of the perfect cunt it would be yours. But I assume you have done just that in the spirit of irony, and so I commend you!

I hope both this and your profile is ironic as it seems to be the most fatuous pile of wank I have ever seen

you are not tagged - and your top tracks are not tagged as well! I do not thank you for not tagging my music.

Okay that last shout was broken, let's try again: Not much, I just like tagging things with and (tag) not (tag). Partly in homage to the Dadaist tradition of declaring things that are clearly Dada not to be Dada.

Not bad, there should be more shouts here! What does your not experimental tag mean? Just curious...

That was pretty much my objective with most of them (except Maybe, which was written to get marks from an examiner) - nice to know people can arrive at the "official" interpretation without help.

The noise tracks are bizzare and abstract like there were created by a computer will no prior knowledge of music; the other non-noise tracks don't sound amateurish but again sound as if they were created with no prior knowledge of music. It is nice to hear sounds whose influences are not painfully obvious.

Not quite, but I did make the cover for Data by converting the first minute or two of /dev/hda into .bmp format. My more recent pieces have been callages with [processed] field recordings, and I've got a lot of material waiting to be put together... but when I find the time I'll try that :D

wow, very experimental! especially the /dev/audio pieces :) pity it's nearly impossible to listen to it more than five minutes.. Have you ever tried to save sound in .raw format, then open it in some picture editor, edit, save in .raw and open as sound again (or vice versa)? It makes very similar sounds to what you did with the "cat" command...
