Cohesive from beginning to end, Scanner’s second release for the DiN label does not disappoint—especially if you are into moody atmospheric sound experiments that defy categorization.
Reviews
Autechre :: Chiastic Slide & LP5 reissues (Warp)
…I like to think of Chiastic Slide and LP5 as the last albums Autechre made on planet Earth before gliding into another dimension.
OdNu :: My Own Island (Audiobulb)
Guitar flickers intertwine with delicate synth tones and drones on My Own Island. It’s a creative surplus of dense yet minimalist extractions that call out to nature; an organic overflow of simplicity.
Kenneth James Gibson :: Groundskeeping (Meadows Heavy Recorders)
The grounds are vast and somber, the groundskeeper has unlimited access to the universe of the night, rich keyboard-string intonations, slow dark moods, atmospheric with rare moments…
Scarper :: Fyretone EP (Plexus)
Delivering downtempo frequencies bursting at the seams with chilled, mid-90s sound-scaping nostalgia, Fyretone drafts a parallel with the likes of B12, Sun Electric, Bola, and The Higher Intelligence Agency et al.
Mount Shrine :: All Roads Lead Home (Cryo Chamber)
35 minutes of pluvial drones replete with soft white/grey noise and sotto voce spoken word possess a mesmeric quality that transcends the reductive description herein.
Nimh :: Early Electronic Works – Caustic/Composite (Zoharum)
These raw experimental electronic studies are an original and comprehensive document about Giuseppe Verticchio’s capability to infuse his own creative personality into sonorous art forms…
TBEX & Elias Zorn :: Solar Parallax EP (Adventurous Music)
Also dipping into darker industrial tropes, TBEX and Elias Zorn offer an ebb and flow of visceral and surreal audio-shards that take over the landscape…
Yenting Hsu :: Flash 須臾 (Ash International)
Sound, music, and glass exist as art forms of time. In this album, sound materials from samples of glass sounds are accompanied with field recordings, […]
Synalegg :: hArmOnii tanD3m (Evel)
As softened tones and drones intermix with fibrous bass slabs and lullaby mechanics, an ebb of flow of dense and simmering tunes is the resultant assortment.
Emba / The New Honey Shade :: Cinq / NEXUS (Handstiched*)
There is a contrast between these styles, you can isolate them or you can blend them, or neither. Each of these two artists makes interesting sounds that convey essences, emotions and new ideas, in very different ways.
