Kilometre Club :: It Doesn’t Snow In Toronto Anymore (Imaginary North)
Listening, I want the big fat flakes to fall from these dense ambient envelopes and rippling contours. Yet like the snow, these flakes of sound don’t fall, they just hover over the listener with a sense of unknowing dread. Moody isn’t even the half of it.
Julien Demoulin :: A Trial Of Distances (Sound In Silence)
A Trial of Distances is modern ambient music that sets a reflective mood. It combines subtle, functional, and therapeutic elements with a poetic human touch, making it perfect for moments of daily introspection.
Nickolas Mohanna :: Speaker Rotations (AKP)
The huge scope that Speaker Rotations depicts is well served by its compositions as well, as it sometimes starts to build to these big big walls of chaos; truth be told, loudness is never this album’s main goal, but it feels so huge that it almost tricks you into thinking you’re submerged by sound, slowly sinking in quicksand.
Amphior :: Disappearing (Glacial Movements)
Disappearing presents lonesome and meandering ambient pieces with a clear stylistic interest for tape loop techniques, blurred-out semi-classical sequences built on the reverbed piano and oxidation feeling from deteriorated-fractured acoustic instrumental signals.
Lantscap :: Fragile Peaks (Home Normal)
Fragile Peaks is a deeply engaging (in the sense of the quality of engagement being ‘deep’) slow burner, though that descriptor might misrepresent the intensity of a piece that, fire-wise, is more of a smoulder—a low-lit one at that.
Takeo Watanabe :: Piece of My Scape (Artificial Owl Recordings)
With eleven miniatures that pulse with glitchy nuances and a downtempo heartbeat, Watanabe guides us along unexpected paths, where abstract beats, gently plucked notes, and fuzzy rhythms harmonize in an elegant dance.
V/A :: For LA Vol. 3 (Helios Music)
As with previous volumes, For LA Vol. 3 not only highlights the creative brilliance of its contributors but also stands as a testament to the power of music in driving meaningful change.
Jairus Sharif :: Find energy in exploration
“I’m enthusiastic about so-called distortion, noise, blur, etc. and began to find energy in the exploration of signal-to-noise ratios and what true clarity of signal means to me. Accuracy, as I had previously understood it, is of little concern to me, and I’ve found that clarity in spirit has a high level of distortion as one of its most desirable traits.” ~Jairus Sharif
