Together, these explorations form a captivating mosaic of splintered downtempo clicks and cuts, crafted from the upper echelons of experimental electronic music.
Revealing unique sonic microcosms
Microscopic soundscapes ripple through explosive glitch, IDM, and sharper-edged electronics, finding home within Polygon Network—an avant-garde electronic label from Bilbao, Spain, established in 2016 with a vision to champion abstract musical expression. November 2024’s Mantra by Vortex Count pulses at the heart of this release, its core fracturing under skilled hands: Lokom, Celine Arnauld (twice over), Michael Valentine West, Takuma Ebisawa, MTCH, and Mitoma—veterans of crumpled electronic sound realms.
Each reinterpretation splinters into intricate fragments and forms, revealing unique sonic microcosms. Lokom shatters industrial boundaries with raw energy; Celine Arnauld weaves delicate interplay of minute electrical details; MVW injects signature sub-atomic glitch and fizz; Takuma Ebisawa drifts through fragmented techno dissolution; MTCH sculpts shifting slabs of frozen sound; Mitoma channels tribal introspection in a style reminiscent of Gescom. Together, these explorations form a captivating mosaic of splintered downtempo clicks and cuts, crafted from the upper echelons of experimental electronic music.
Mantra Remixed is available on Polygon Network. [Bandcamp]
