It feels almost odd to say that this is Adam Wiltzie’s solo debut album; Wiltzie has been working in various groups for over thirty years, groups with which he’s amassed a pretty large catalog, but one that was lacking his very own solo creation.
Reviews
Indek :: Yope EP (Self Released)
This erratic EP by Indek seamlessly combines braindance components with disjointed sonic structures.
Kirk Degiorgio presents As One :: Reflections (30th Anniversary) (Lapsus)
Where there is no doubt is that Reflections was decades ahead of its time. This re-issue breathes new life into the tracks, reviving them to bring them back to their full glory, a glory that, thirty years later, continues to be absorbing, engaging and pioneering.
Production Unit Xero :: Mr. X (Heterodox)
Production Unit Xero continues to dissect chaotic soundscapes, breaking the sonic spectrum with an abundance of glitch jungle breaks and beats on Mr. X.
Feeling Flying :: Feeling Flying (*Handstitched)
Atmospheric sustained chordal drones with changing textures and tempos. The proportions create illusions, flying at a great altitude might appear to be slow from a distance, but the intervals traveled are astounding, and the one who is flying is probably catching the greatest sense of motion, as perceived only by the constant listener.
Roel Funcken & Cor Bolten :: Stark EP (Self Released)
The sounds of the cosmos describing itself. Six magnetized electronic components come together in the Stark EP—all in sequential order from 1 through 6.
Chad Mossholder :: Haptic Clouds (Schematic)
Designed to be listened to on headphones, Chad Mossholder finds more ominous micro-glitch nuances hidden behind these eight sonic peripherals.
Kenneth Kirschner :: Three Cellos (Greyfade)
The sonic language employed on this album benefits from an approach tempered in years of serious classical musical scholarship.
Not Even Noticed :: Acid Illusion EP (Who Is Paula)
Not Even Noticed (aka Carsten Fluck and Lucas Lejeune) should gain some additional traction despite their penchant for more danceable electro-nics than I’m used to writing about.
Echaskech :: Novacene (VLSI)
A soundtrack in which its single moments are most definitely enjoyable and work as such, portraying a good variety of different imaginary scenarios that are apt to the album’s concept.
Nonobstant :: Par Dessus Bord (1000+1 TiLt)
Par Dessus Bord sounds like a well-crafted horror score of a dark and minimal nature. Tracks are less melodic than rhythmic, looped, and electroacoustic.
