Anna Homler :: Reverie (Right Brain)

Reverie is a tour of unadorned castles in the air, playful and strange vocals, music inspiring pleasant dream-like thoughts, expressed with wordless musical vocalisms, fluid speech-like syllables that might lack any readily comprehensible meaning, an extravagant conceit of the imagination, a lost sense of dreaming while awake. There is an extraordinary array of great talent here.

Scanner & Nurse With Wound :: Contrary Motion (Alltagsmusik / United Dairies)

Contrary Motion is an album for those who wish to embark on a journey of neurodivergence from the realm of traditional thought and soundwaves so as to access the remedies that will give them relief from the complexity of modern life. This is live audio that has been refracted through the studio by means of frequency hopping between Australia, Ireland and England.

Circuitry and Shadows :: An audio collage exploration

In the dim corridors of experimental electronic music, where industrial textures fuse with ambient drift and fractured rhythm, a quiet evolution is unfolding. Circuitry and Shadows explores six compelling releases that blur genre lines, weaving metallic atmospheres, glitch-laden pathways, and modular pulses into dense, emotive audio collages. These works, drawn from visionary labels and artists, don’t just coexist—they resonate, forming a shared current within the shadowy stream of industrial-leaning ambient electronics.

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.
