Two pillars of ’90s techno, Speedy J and Surgeon, team up as Multiples to give birth to, indeed, almost two hours of discomforting and rather challenging rhythms.
Reviews
H-M O :: The Lamenting Window EP (Labile)
Subtly-placed whispered melodies somehow enter our subconscious and the tone of the EP intensifies as it gets closer to our soul.
Room of Wires · Station Zero :: Carbon Based Shrine (Ant-Zen)
“A mosaic of the human experience,” indeed, Carbon Based Shrine is a somber, illbient-tinged, and introspectively dark soundscape with sporadic bursts of lighter parts piercing through the ashes.
Taylor Deupree :: Sti.ll (Nettwerk / 12k / Greyfade)
Sti.ll is overall smoother and more pleasant, which is really fitting for the intimate and subtle sentiment of the original LP, making it a re-listen that fans of the original should not miss out on.
Malasomma :: NEOLINGUA (Stochastic Resonance)
Malasomma (also known as Marco Malasomma) produces a soundtrack for this language; featuring skewed audio worlds that ebb and flow, occasionally delivering noisier constructs to heighten the tension.
NRV :: Seasons Beyond the Ashes (See Blue Audio)
Introspective moods are cultivated here with pastoral synth washes and mesmeric floating chords. Yet the wisps of sadness in these short pieces do not linger for too long, as winter has given way to spring rains and new shoots of life emerge out of the soil. Even if that soil has been damaged.
Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri :: Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close (Black Knoll Editions)
Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close is a brooding and at the same time priceless contemplative effort for entrancing noises, velveting drones and revered guitar phrasings.
±vMcÇ :: err051-v-mcc (Clean Error)
The degree of abstraction in ±vMcÇ’s work is astounding. Warped glitches and breaks splatter across the terrain, gathering heavily processed found sounds, braindance components, and arcane rhythms into a disorganized muddle.
