Carya Amara – Tales of the Unattractive

A retrospective of experiments in electronic music from 1980 – 1991 by Carya Amara.

Synthesiser melodies, lo-fi experiments with record players and warped organ drones set the course for Carya Amara’s rejection of musical categories, and paved the way for the music in the companion volume, Extinction Frequency.
