Experimental music can mean many things—often tracks are beat-less or off-beat, atonal or noisy, or in some way either more or less dense than other genres. My point is not to establish orthodox genre boundaries.

exm :: fjirtich (Self Released)
It’s almost as if these soundscapes are about to collapse; microscopic rhythms vanish and a skeletal outline is all that remains in its final minutes.
Meat Beat Manifesto & Merzbow :: Extinct (Cold Spring)
This is not a collaboration you thought could happen or would happen. Extinct reminded me a bit of the more noisy performances at the legendary Maschinenfest festivals I’ve attended over the years. Like pre-Hands ORPHX or early Synapscape. Become reacquainted with some beautiful music / rhythmic noise.
Thedi :: Live at FSK-HH (Adventurous Music)
Especially notable are occasional bursts of crisp, digital static. I enjoyed imagining that the performance was a kind of industrial construction itself—as though I was hearing music while looking at its naked guts.
Aelk Minsur :: A EP (Self Released)
Aelk Minsur keeps vanishing into the most remote reaches of space with a surrounding thick fog, leading us into uncharted and intriguing passageways. Incredibly bizarre and worth the trip.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Parity Town EP (Condition Human)
Industrial and synthetic terrain nevertheless harbors a wide variety of severely saturated beats, noise, and bizarre soundscapes.
