Lamasz and Grandbruit :: Suivant (élan vital)
A felicitous confluence of two distinct sound worlds/whorls in a zone notionally adumbrated by texture-mappers.
4PLAY :: Past Inside the Present — Awakened Souls, Tyresta, From Overseas & zakè, James Bernard & anthéne
What follows constitutes, for want of time for exhaustive description, a representative sample of some of the year’s rich late harvest…
Purelink :: Signs (Peak Oil)
Signs captures Purelink’s alchemy at its most liquid and immaterial, mapped in mutations of glitch and glass, rhythm and sound, drum and space by turns subdued and subterranean, elevated and remote.
Field Lines Cartographer :: Phases of This and Other Moons (Castles in Space)
Otherworldly yet strangely familiar, sometimes sounding oddly more organic than electronic, at once beauteous and mysterious, huge and delicate.
zakè & City of Dawn :: Ash (Azure Vista)
Like an extended gaze on the infinite, or the sound of chronostasis, Ash is motion felt at a Brownian micro-level of timbre and harmonic shift.
