Ancient Future sees Urschaum deepen his ambient vision with a darker, more introspective tone. Building on the expansive Dimensional Transient, these four longform pieces unfold slowly, like mist over distant shores. Jason Goodrich (formerly Badrich) sculpts immersive sonic environments—brooding, patient, and vast—where drones stretch time and emotion drifts beneath the surface.
Reviews
Somatic Responses :: Glynnph EP (Photon Emissions) — [concise]
John Healy returns with a blistering five-track suite steeped in distortion, mechanical pressure, and digital disarray. From the ironclad march of the title track to the fractured geometries of “Monomat,” Healy sculpts a world of warped percussion, ambient debris, and glitch-ridden chaos. Dense and disorienting, it rewards those willing to navigate its alien circuitry.
2View — Everyday Dust :: Shrouded III & Mossed in Translation (Dustopian Frequencies)
Everyday Dust returns with Shrouded III, a fever dream of decayed synths, eerie textures, and hallucinatory soundscapes that blur the line between madness and revelation. Paired with the wild remix project Mossed in Translation, these releases plunge deeper into the project’s haunted world—unsettling, immersive, and impossible to ignore.
drøn :: comm (Reissue) (mindcolormusic)
A decade on, comm resurfaces with sharpened clarity, blending vintage IDM textures with forward-looking electronics. Reissued via mindcolormusic and drøn‘s Bandcamp, it remains a vivid […]
Hideki Umezawa & Giuseppe Cordaro :: Terrarum Murmur (Amish Records / Required Wreckers)
Terrarum Murmur is a collaboration between Japanese composer Hideki Umezawa and Italian electroacoustic artist Giuseppe Cordaro, born of a shared residency on the volcanic island of Stromboli in 2023. Blending field recordings, modular synthesis, and deep listening, the work captures the subtle vibrations of geological time. Far from spectacle, it invites us to hear the earth as a quiet, continuous presence—shaped by patience, precision, and a deep respect for sound as both material and method.
Fani Konstantinidou :: Undertones (Moving Furniture)
Undertones doesn’t merely explore disorder; it thrives in it—spinning volatile frequencies into an oddly meditative turbulence, where musique concrète meets instinctive structure, and where noise becomes a living, breathing force.
Xurba :: The Dark Side of Customer Service (Electric Studios)
At once serene and hallucinatory, Xurba captures otherworldly ambiance with an almost archaeological sense of discovery—each track an unearthed relic from a psychedelic electronic dreamscape far beyond familiar coordinates.
Yclept :: Yclept (Noided Media) — [concise]
A beautifully dysfunctional journey, Yclept is a warped homage to the experimental electronics of yesteryear, filtered through a distinctly modern, fractured lens.
Swoop and Cross :: On the Grounds of Indecency (Perceptual Tapes)
Portuguese artist Swoop and Cross (Ruben do Vale) offers a haunting, minimalist meditation on memory and fragility with On the Grounds of Indecency. Blending piano, ambient textures, and field recordings, the album unfolds slowly, inviting deep reflection through its quiet beauty and restraint.
Purelink :: Faith (peak oil)
Concave Reflection, Kindtree, and Millia formed the trio Purelink in 2020 to create music they couldn’t make alone. Blending ambient dub techno with glitchy textures, subtle beats, and dreamy atmospheres, their sound is slow, hypnotic, and immersive. Their latest album titled Faith deepens this style, mixing acoustic tones, brittle drum ‘n’ bass rhythms, and poetic vocals into a lush, drifting soundscape made for quiet introspection.
Onas Ueno :: Umwelt EP (Strata) — [concise]
Onas Ueno’s Umwelt EP is a haunting, immersive journey through ambient and experimental soundscapes. Blending glitch, spectral melodies, and neoclassical tones, each track unfolds with emotional depth and textural richness. From the hazy pulse of “Lo” to the ethereal drift of “What Angels,” the EP moves fluidly between abrasion and serenity, leaving a lasting, otherworldly impression.
