Experimental Electronic Music
There are passages where the familiarity of the solutions diminishes the element of surprise, and others where a simple shift in timbre is enough to rekindle our attention. It is in these latter moments that Tangent’s return acquires its most convincing significance.
On Temporary, Aimée Portioli takes this sensitivity into more fragile and unsettled territory, shaped by an awareness of loss and by our relationship with time. Eight compositions in which electronic textures and acoustic resonances undergo a continuous process of transformation, following an emotional logic that also leaves room for uncertainty.
Twenty-five years after its release, Markus Guentner revisits IN MOLL, reflecting on youthful intuition, creative freedom, the limitations that shaped his sound, and the enduring importance of making music without expectations.
Metanoia: Music From Therapy marks an important step in Circuit3’s development. Fitzpatrick’s electronic music retains its connection with a clearly defined tradition: analogue machines, sequences, emotional minimalism and synthetic soundscapes. Here, however, that tradition is used to confront something deeply personal.
Trusted Farms retains something of that freedom. It carries it into music that feels more physical, driven by rhythm, repetition and synthesizers with weight, friction and substance. Many parts were played live and barely edited. Lines are doubled, distorted, recorded again, sent through other machines. They remain recognizable. They keep some of their roughness. They breathe. Perhaps this is where the most beautiful part of the album lies.
In WATERSHED, Markus Mehr transforms recordings from the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine into an unsettling meditation on war, distance, and the responsibility of listening when looking away is always an option.
Morning Glories is strongest when it allows this material to breathe without forcing it towards the sublime. bvdub knows his own vocabulary extremely well and at times exposes it to its limits. The more accessible melodic openings give the album a different kind of light, occasionally close to a pop sensibility, always absorbed within durations and structures that belong to another logic.
Landscape 07 unfolds in breaths: slow waves advance, overlap, recede and return in subtly altered forms. The movement is continuous, yet it can escape a distracted listener. You need to stop, allow the piece to find its own pace and follow its changes as you might follow shadows moving across a field.
The Bug’s Ladybug 2 pairs his heavy, hypnotic bass pressure with Friday Night Plans’ hushed vocals, turning six versions of “Miss U” into a dark, immersive journey where dub, shoegaze, and electronic melancholy slowly dissolve into one hypnotic flow.
When the final sound fades, the small white emblem at the bottom of the cover comes to mind. A wave reduced to calligraphy, discreet while the blue occupies everything. Wind Paths works in much the same way: it passes through the listener, leaves behind a faint vibration and entrusts the air with carrying it away.
Hawgood has tied Folk Reels to the idea of a mobile archive, a repository for scattered works, old tapes and encounters. Live At Still Point 2026 introduces a welcome fissure into that archive. To preserve also means admitting loss and giving it an audible measure.
