Experimental Electronic Music
At once conceptual and profoundly sentient, Notes de saisons guides the listener through a somber canopy (flowing, blurry textures and windy chimes, distant echoing voices and detached notes), occasionally punctuated by fragile and ethereal light (designed through sinuous, melodious timbres and repetitive acoustic microtonal patterns).
Grain of Light is an experimental, swirling, and meditative album with ethnic elements and haunting sonic motifs from one continuously creative mastermind in the world of post-industrial music.
If you are seeking background music to accompany a descent into a post-apocalyptic, neo-mythological literary universe—something akin to the worlds of Lord Dunsany, Arthur Machen, or Abraham Merritt—Enter the Nuummite Cosmos is particularly well suited.
A delicious, bittersweet atmosphere gently envelops Progressus, carrying a sense of timeless grace and sentient enchantment throughout.
Bay Area sound visionary Mike Cadoo returns as Dryft with a powerful, beat-driven dystopian journey that fuses cinematic ambience, abrasive industrial textures, and emotionally charged IDM-infused sound design into a dark, immersive sonic experience.
Lo Recordings’ reissue of Susumu Yokota’s Laputa resurrects a long-mythic masterpiece of Japanese electronic music—an uncompromising, genre-dissolving vision that drifts from ambient and electro-acoustic collage to jazz-inflected and ritualistic sound worlds with breathtaking imagination.
Substak returns with Abrasive Deluge, a stark and immersive dive into eroded ambient textures and haunted sonic debris.
With RhaD, Raffaele Pezzella fractures memory and signal into a dense, hallucinatory archive where lost transmissions feel disturbingly alive.
After first encountering Philippe Petit through The Haunting Triptych (2010), The Acoustic Cornet—released by Mahorka as a tribute to Leonora Carrington—emerges as a radical electro-acoustic work of abstract, collage-driven experimentation that fuses manipulated objects, elastic electronics, and avant-garde improvisation into a richly unpredictable sonic experience.
A slow-burning meditation on the inner life of sound, Paper Braids unfolds as a meticulous exploration of space, microtonal nuance, and the fragile poetry of sustained tone.
Emerging from late-’90s Rome, NIMH—the long-running project of Giuseppe Verticchio—returns with a brooding, stylistically evolved ambient work with Nine Years of Decadence that drifts from ethno-spiritual roots into bleak, isolationist soundscapes steeped in tension, melancholy, and cinematic depth.
