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.
Reviews
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.
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.
Sjellos : Lifeless Ground (Cryo Chamber)
With Lifeless Ground, Sjellos plunges listeners back into the dark, mechanical abyss introduced on his last album Transmission Lost (2013), intensifying the grim sense of desolation and uncertainty. Each attempt to move brings flashes of forgotten memories, or fractured images of a past life.
400 Lonely Things :: Subdivisions (Unexplained Sounds Group)
Attached to the singular process of degradation—evoking memory, loss, and the inevitable corruption of time—and looped patterns but brightly coupled to soothing ambient lines and oceanic shimmering sequences which attenuate the ominous purpose and turns it in something dreamlike.
