Experimental Electronic Music
From start to finish Neostalgia offers an elegant and absorbing listen. It may have taken four years to blend and ferment as other projects for both artists came to the fore, but that extra time spent on the hard drive before being passed off to listeners has made it both sweet and subtle.
On Alive In Wonderland, Dalham (aka Suffolk countryside-based and London-residing Jon Michaelides) shifts slightly from his prior style of gauzy sound spheres and broken beats to slow motion, BOC-infused psychedelic semi-electro shapes.
Tineidae is the moniker of Pavlo Storonsky, a sound producer whose style embraces cinematic textures, synth waving pads, and hypnotic-electro grooves, often immersed in dystopian sci-fi territories for the emotional and aesthetic inclination.
Scarper takes a high-octane approach to his already accelerated exp-electronics trajectory.
Robert Henke, founding and sole member of the legendary Berlin experimental techno group Monolake and co-founder with (former Monolake partner Gerhard Behles and Bernd Roggendorf) of Ableton Live, the groundbreaking software company that took aspects of loop-based electronic music from a semi-obscure corner of music production and turned it into a driving force of musical creation as one of the top tier DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) in use today.
As Scillocsenports ups the ante, Paun’s exceptional ability to assimilate raw electronics is simply out of this world, serving as a comprehensive cross section and exemplary collection of next level glitch acrobatics.
A cornerstone of the Leipzig imprint has been drawing on local talent, gathering fellow machinists on compilations to showcase the talent of their city and their sound. Clear Memory 012 is the eighth such collection to date.
Ümlaut (aka northern Connecticut-based Jeff Düngfelder) elevates An Auxiliary View, delving light years into transparent soundscapes, expansive musique concrète, microscopic glitch mechanisms, and static pulses for the consistently adventurous Audiobulb imprint.
