Experimental Electronic Music
One does not need context or production acumen to enjoy these tracks, and to feel emotionally attached to them—these pieces grab your attention beyond the extent of any techy or compositional trick, and linger once they’re done playing, like fizzy crisp air after a summer shower.
While continuing the legacy and wholly unique style introduced in Nekkuja and in 2022’s breakthrough Pripyat (both released on PAN), Dja Dja, her first self-released album, sees a much stronger architecture and development: almost double the length of its predecessors, the album is configured as an epic, and directly inspired by the monomyth of the hero’s journey.
Multiple active listens never feel like a chore, and are instantly rewarded by the lavishness of the sounds and the cleverness of the compositions, bringing together awe, humor, and bewilderment. And what else can we ask of experimental music?
Arca’s latest record pushes her glitch-heavy, genre-defying sound further than ever, turning chaos, vulnerability, and radical experimentation into one of her most fearless works yet.
From Helsinki’s Toinen kerros comes Isthmus Recordings, a new label and live archive capturing the restless, intimate sounds of Finland’s experimental music scene.
Pequeño clima doméstico is radically atmospheric: it blends equally well with the sounds of traffic or chirping birds, with a slow Sunday morning with a book or with the Monday after sending emails while working from home, and is sure to improve any of these moments in a humble but powerful way.
Not a simple translation of light into sound, nor an allegory, SB4 makes and transcends its own rules (as well as minimalist and drone music’s, for that matter), resulting in a rare natural wonder, deceptive in its simplicity but cosmic just under the surface.
DISPLACES is an album that I’ll find myself drawn back to, or haunted by over and over, providing sometimes an intimate, intuitive understanding of something bigger than me, and others giving energy from some obscure source, or else… The thrill of not knowing exactly what will only keep expanding.
With everything speaks of itself, joão ms decisively steps out of the dream logic of his earlier work, presenting an album grounded in direction, structure, and presence, where sound no longer signifies sleep but asserts itself as waking reality.
Ludovico Franco’s Open Field (Rohs! Record) is a seven-part ambient work blending field recordings, improvisation, and electronics. Inspired by James Tenney, it was recorded outdoors with musicians and audience sharing the space. The result is a series of immersive soundscapes that feel more like living environments than compositions.
Hello Spiral’s Detached Objects (Moonside Tapes) blends noise, dark ambient, computer music, and musique concrète to defy easy categorization. By severing sounds from familiar meanings, it creates an unsettling atmosphere of estrangement, embodying Viktor Shklovsky’s idea of “making the stone stony” and challenging passive listening.
