A critical season substitute is a relentless cascade of rough-edged textures and indomitable tones, refusing to relent and continuously pushing the boundaries of tangible sonic research.
Headlines
Haswell & Hecker :: UPIC Diffusion Session #23 (Editions Mego)
UPIC Diffusion Session #23 begins with a cascade of glitchy static tones, each descending in pitch and rising in volume. They converge briefly around a central point, only to spiral down further as we begin to hear the distinct click of switches being flipped.
Zachary Gray :: Trippin’ Variations (A Person Disguised as People)
The release of Trippin’ Variations via A Person Disguised as People is further evidence of Gray’s growing profile with a variety of tweakings to the original track from FC Commitments, Soft Operator, James Scott, SXXN, Stan K, Hidden Rivers, and Drummachinemike.
Giannis Gogos :: Light Within (Saos)
With a seamless blend of structured instrumentation and drifting passages, this ten-track suite unfolds as a collection of evolving, serene, and blurred shoegaze elements that hover just above the realm of organic surrealism.
Susanne Brokesch :: Shallow Blues (Self Released)
Shallow Blues not only signifies a compelling artistic statement but also provides a comforting yet provocative sanctuary, firmly establishing Brokesch as a boundary-pushing artist within contemporary electronic and folk music landscapes.
Whatever The Weather :: Whatever The Weather II (Ghostly International)
Ditching the percussive side in favor of more timbres and textures, Whatever The Weather II depicts some wonderful spacious soundscapes.
V/A :: Transmission 010 (Imaginary North)
Throughout the compilation, Transmission 010 embraces a range of ambient sub-genres, from weightless hazy pads to richly dense sound design, ensuring that each listener finds moments that resonate. The interplay between light and shadow, movement and stillness, results in an experience that feels vast yet intimate.
Serge Geyzel :: Visions I Lost EP (EC Underground)
Geyzel’s signature beats twist and intertwine with drifting melodic threads, while pulsing drones create a hypnotic atmosphere, and in sum, Visions I Lost expertly delivers on all levels.
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.”
