Blanchimont is immersive armchair electronics, compositions that are uncluttered yet complex. A statement from an artist who marches to his own beat, one who continues to draw deserved admiration and recognition. Long may this golden return continue.
Reviews
Bass Communion :: The Itself of Itself (Fourth Dimension)
The Itself of Itself corresponds to the most obscure and psychoactive abstract and radical tendency of Bass Communion’s music.
Cult of Light :: The Luminous Spiral (Zazen Sounds)
What catches the ears is the groundbreaking and burgeoning ceremonial and ritual components of the music often immersing the listener in deep, quiet then unsettling or uncanny moods.
Driftmachine & Ammer :: Sonic Behaviour (Umor Rex)
Driftmachine collaborates with Andreas Ammer on Sonic Behaviour, a celebration of sound and noise that juxtaposes poetry with dubby, hypnotic soundscapes and siren wails.
Kenneth James Gibson & Paul Carman :: Murals For Immersion (Important / Cassauna)
These murals could just as easily be on the outside of a large city block, or sequestered inside of a dimly lit jazz café where modal post-bop has mutated into tranquil harmonic abstractions that hover like smoke above the tables of a transfixed clientele.
Sinnway :: Nykloud Veil (Self Released)
We’re taken through deserted industrial warehouses via smoldering rhythms and complex sound design structures, which are reminiscent of early Proem and Arovane audio works.
V/A :: Transmission 008 (Imaginary North)
These expertly detailed sonic Polaroids encapsulate the spirit of time, past and present, as though to ease the listener into a thick fog with tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones.
Caramel Chameleon :: Compact Demons (Nottetempo)
There’s a sense that Caramel Chameleon is building up a head of steam. With each release, the Italian artist is further honing his sound as he crafts ever more intricate melodies and structures.
