Fifty years after Autobahn, they’re not reinventing themselves—they don’t need to. The ideas, sounds, and structures they laid down decades ago still feel relevant, even […]
Features
Comechelet x ϙue :: TIME (re.core)
Aesthetically, although beatless, this new work TIME is an ambitious break from ambient music’s associations with the wellness industry, or any connection to environmental music, a sound that is Post-Ambient, leaving faded glimpses of stylistic references.
Heavenly Silences and Earthly Noise :: Drone and Ambient Guitar on Silent Records
Sometimes what comes in a flash unfolds over a long period of time. Such a flash came to Silent Records label founder Kim Cascone one winter night as a kid. “I remember sitting in a snowbank and looking up at the stars. I spotted the blue star in the Orion constellation and gazed at it for a long time. Suddenly I had a flash, like one of those speed-collages in a film where hundreds of events all race past in a split second. I call this ‘my download’ & have been unpacking its meaning ever since.”
Glitching the Circuit
We don’t have enough Dada in this world of too much data. Something is needed to break-through the over-curated simulacrum that is the online world in order to let in a bit of non-artificial light. One way to make a break is through the deliberate cultivation of the glitch.
V/A :: For LA Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 (Nettwerk)
Ultimately, For LA Vol. 1 & For LA Vol. 2 are more than just impressive collections of ambient works. They are a heartfelt response to tragedy, amplifying the voices of artists who use sound to bring comfort and aid. This release is not just worth a listen—it’s worth supporting, as every note carries the weight of healing and hope for a city in need.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #47
A few weeks back, we were lucky enough to share the booth with the always excellent Neud Photo. Robbie hopped on the train and made it by the skin of his teeth to Luv Bar where the pair served some a cocktail of electro, new beat and even some Italo.
AeTopus :: iota (Spotted Peccary Music)
iota was created to be received on several levels, both conceptually and sonically. Various instruments and features of the mix represent spatial locations in an imaginary landscape: ground, horizon, and sky, for example. Experienced in a good listening environment, the listener will imagine distance, elevation, and perhaps even time.
bvdub :: 13 (Past Inside the Present)
The emotional resonances of this album would seem to be marred by writing a review that cannot, by its very nature, encompass the fluxing changes of musical flow and depth captured on 13. Just listen to it and be swept into a world that’s always changing, fates of people and nations rising and falling. This is something we should be unconcerned about, and instead offer our trust, care and love back to the world.
missing scenes :: dream or memory? (Varia)
missing scenes explores a love of nature, darkness, light, and the importance of memory, sleep, and dreaming. The rich tapestry of Kurosawa’s Dreams is mirrored in dream or memory’s? sonic vignettes, bringing together memories of the peach orchard, the kitsune wedding, the watermill village, and Van Gogh’s crows.
