Experimental Electronic Music
García sculpts his sounds within the frames of acid, braindance and electro with obvious influences from breaks and IDM. What can be surprising is the length of pieces, few running over the four minute mark. Despite their brevity, these are works bursting with emotion and energy.
Gobelin Stitches only manages to reinforce Nebulo’s strength and capacity to rediscover raw musical ideas and stitch them into hundreds of unique spatial coordinates.
On Supermassive, the faint sizzling sounds of electro, braindance, and acid mix together in one solid arrangement that’s been in constant rotation.
Even a year later, quadratschulz’s Halo Welt EP from November 2023, which consists of four tracks over 21 minutes, is still a reflective trip through time.
Easily a highlight of the series, the forthcoming compilation finale will include all seven releases rolled up into one high-powered assemblage. Watch out.
An affecting sonic fluctuation of dark ambient surrealism, and a highly recommended deep dive.
Crunchy rhythmic turbulence and unpredictable electronics make up this exhausting Borg-like set.
The A-Side contrasts the flip, beat patterns and samples recalling British machine experimentation with breakbeat and jungle. On the B, techno is the focal point with the Australian musician plumbing hidden depths.
CRT delivers a surreal storm-surging soundtrack that breaks through with fragmented synthesis and industrial techno juxtaposition.
Mosaic is yet another valid addition to Fennesz’s already spotless catalog. Among the many ambient records I’ve heard this year, Fennesz thankfully reminds us of what ambient music can be when it is done in an original way, rather than offering the usual pulp of clean synth pads with some string arrangements.
If you are fond of dystopian electronic coldness of Omit, Franck Riggio, Kcin, Philip Munch and some Lustmord (for the rumbling,) uncanny moody-esque textures, and eerily fixated atmospheres, you won’t be disappointed.
