Overall, Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer is a great release and very worth listening to. It is smart, entrancing, transcendent, glitchy, and reminds me more than a little bit of the great works of Brian Eno.

Boris Brejcha :: “Terminal Zero” & “Atlantis” — Level One (Fckng Serious)
Renowned German producer and DJ Boris Brejcha, better known as the Joker, allowed us to listen to two teases off their upcoming album, Level One—both are pummeling techno tracks, so I have faith that the full album will be just as serious.
bvdub | Brock Van Wey :: Leaving (Self Released)
Like Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott, bvdub’s Leaving alludes to the end of a person’s life. The music uses a dark-ambient approach to bring the listener to this point in the present.
Synthetic Ecology 3 :: About Music and Popular Success
Writing music for netlabels has been a main focus for my projects. My own netlabel, Treetrunk Records, focuses on music composed using alternative techniques. I have also extensively released on netlabels such as Webbed Hand, Petroglyph Music, Camembert Electrique, and others. As my goals became more proportional, I let go of my desire to make music mainly for profit.
Nonobstant :: Par Dessus Bord (1000+1 TiLt)
Par Dessus Bord sounds like a well-crafted horror score of a dark and minimal nature. Tracks are less melodic than rhythmic, looped, and electroacoustic.
vssp :: Over the sun (Kalamine)
As a whole, vssp’s Over the sun has a consistent feel and a steady pace. It is best for meditative moods, for periods of quiet and extended listening. The temporary nature of modern life is connoted throughout.
Ian Boddy :: Modal Operandi (Quiet Details)
Modal Operandi is a fulfilling listen. Tracks bear fruit through melodic complexity and the inclusion of quiet, often minute details that can be more and more readily detected on repeat listens.
Synthetic Ecology 2 :: Finding the edge, some thoughts about ‘experimental music’
Experimental music can mean many things—often tracks are beat-less or off-beat, atonal or noisy, or in some way either more or less dense than other genres. My point is not to establish orthodox genre boundaries.
