Experimental Electronic Music
In Passage, some of the most elemental transitions are embraced and explored using sound to portray some complex and undefined spiritual concepts. The concept behind Passage is that of passing from one phase of your life to another. This may include new residences, changing relationships, traveling to an entirely different solar system, or passing on from this life to whatever may be next.
Magic Hour is both accessible and deeply experimental with its mutant ambient approach. The sonic palette employs clicks and clacks, echoes, mechanical whirs, lost terrestrial train whistles, melodic forms, shattering forms, and human murmurs, sometimes slowing or speeding up local fields to gain an emotional edge.
Untitled brings a form of fantasy music where society or environment is imagined in an advanced technological and scientific age exploring the universe, time, future tech, and humanity. The monstrous and crazy hypnotic repetitive sound is the art of the impossible, famously indistinguishable from magic, a way to test new ideas and take tomorrow.
With the completion of this trilogy, we acknowledge our part as a remote viewer of Dean’s life over three decades. Salvaging The Future—perhaps more than the prior two albums—is a restless collage, yet it is so well mixed that it lends itself to uninterrupted full-album listening. This listener is tuning in about 2x per day at the moment. Despite the challenges these decades have wrought, the trilogy’s close with “Our Story Survives Collectively” leaves us with a sense of hope. This is music for visioning.
Photographic Memory is essentially the city chopped fine until it stops sounding like a city and starts sounding like weather. It’s made to be heard as a continuous mix, but Speake wants you to feel free to dip in and out.
Field of Coincidence is the debut album documenting the collaboration between LA-based artists Jesse Perlstein (Sontag Shogun, AxOxH) and Michael Robert Chadwick (Fake Sword, Plum Professional), aka Trellis. Perhaps the perception of coincidence can serve as a link to folk psychology and philosophy as well as supernatural, occult, or paranormal claims, psychological reasoning, and the statistical probability of chance events.
Cosmos in Collision’s Unwound arrives two years after The Passage of Time and confirms the direction of an ever-evolving project, capable of building dense and cinematic atmospheres. The cover artwork is an original watercolor by Cosmos in Collision, visually translating the narrative arc of the record: three chromatic fields blending from indigo to black, crossed by a white thread that slowly thins until it disappears.
Human Music: Live Improvisations I serves as both a statement and a philosophy. What I hear is a collection of live performance recordings, each about 6-7 minutes long, one player/performer using layers and loop technology to play many instruments at once in a live setting, creating classical flavored music improvisations and instrumental expressions with haunting vocals that are entirely without word content, just emotional tones that bend and transmit.
Explorer is a richly detailed journey through melodic ambient electronics and progressive textures, where Parallel Worlds transforms the mystery, beauty, and endless motion of deep space into nine immersive sonic voyages.
Field Recordings is an ongoing long-term project in which the artist, Ard Bit (Ard Janssen), listens to specific places and environments. Each release is a self-contained album, based on field recordings made on location. The recordings are either presented close to how they were captured or layered with musical and experimental forms derived from the original material. The project does not follow a fixed album cycle, but develops over time as a continuous practice.
Iranian experimental musicians Shahin Entezami (aka Tegh) and Adel Poursamadi reunite for their third collaboration album Bayal, a creative response of greyscale synthesis, violin, and traditional instrumentation to a 1964 collection of short stories by seminal Iranian author Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi.
