The duo’s exceptional ability to create gritty compositions, minuscule glitch shapes, and abstract vocal data streams, all coalesce in The Longer Morrow, a potent auditory collection.
Reviews
bvdub | Brock Van Wey :: In Iron Houses (EC Underground)
Whether it’s the soulful nature of his vocal samples, or the lush and downtempo beats that give it all a skeleton to cascade off of, or the exquisite synthetic textures throughout, Bvdub has found his vein of gold and continues to mine it without relent.
Poppy H :: Wadham Lodge (Self Released)
Snippets from the past carry distinct audio aromas, and varying balances of bitter, sweet and bold, here interfused with new touches. On Wadham Lodge, many moods have been coalesced, balanced and optimized to bring out nuanced sonic flavors.
2view :: Tapes and Topographies :: Plumage (Lontano Series) & Rudiments (Simulacra)
A collection of cameos rendered in feathery tones and dusty pitches by Todd Gautreau aka Tapes and Topographies, Plumage’s sonorities, languorously looping and limned in treated effluvia, point to timbral and spatial elements as its primary zone of sonic inquiry.
Craig Padilla & Zero Ohms :: To Sleep On Stellar Winds (Spotted Peccary Music)
To Sleep On Stellar Winds is an epic space music album with Berlin-school influences that feature unique blends of modular synthesizers and wind instruments, to carry all listeners floating along the cosmic breezes to the outer edges of the universe, and beyond.
ZeckDBH :: Quartet (zanderhythm)
The duo flex melodic fibers and braindance shards over a wide spectrum with funky beats, synaptic pulses, and fluttering synths. Their capacity to produce squelchy, nearly lifelike shapes is equally susceptible to deformation in the form of elastic vibrations
Shahzad Ismaily, Stanford Cheung, Andrea Scala :: ENDROLL EP (Aural Shapes)
ENDROLL is an EP that weaves together a landscape of multi-instrument improvisations. The genesis of this album began with the question of whether all music needs a beginning, and instead, to hypothesize on whether music could still retain intention when drawn from a place of “finality.”
Keiss :: Oblique Minimalista (Pulse State)
Eleven structural layers on Oblique Minimalista bend, twist, drift, and collapse as glitch mechanisms weave through punchy, minimalist grooves.
