Ümlaut :: Half the Speed of Light (Self Released)
Jeff Düngfelder (also known as Ümlaut) develops a musique concrète resource and minuscule time-capsules to lose yourself within.
Alex Jann :: Cold Light Wave EP (brokntoys)
A well-oiled and tightly packed release to kick off 2024 as we keep our ears peeled for more in what could very well be its own genre titled “cold light wave.”
Tarsiform :: Mechanically Reclaimed Pickings (Pingdiscs)
On these jagged aural experiments, scorched percussive rhythms, tangled vocal samples, and braindance components combine and burst leaving us to believe that Tarsiform is an unusual yet creative force to seriously pay attention to.
Zeuge :: Maturation (Concrete Collage)
Concrete Collage’s ability to curate such vast sound structures is one of the best places to find completely abstract and experimental electronics. Zeuge’s Maturation, along with partnerships with Lokom, M.E.R.S, Romanowitch, and Fauna Modulara (aka fxbip), help navigate this jumble of fragmented audio data.
Sedibus :: SETI (Orbscure Recordings)
Sedibus — Alex Paterson + fellow ORB original Andy Falconer to release new album; an epic sail through the sky at night.
Room of Wires :: Decayed: 10yrs of Isolation and Collaboration – Remixed (Section 27)
Here, isolation and cooperation coexist within the confines of dark electronics as lighter shapes and shades lurk in the background.
clocolan :: 2k10-2k20 (Redpan)
2k10–2k20 as a whole, is much more of a laid-back atmosphere than a percussive one, and it serves as a benchmark for the artists’ sound and vision.
Sontag Shogun :: “The Tightrope Session” — Video premiere
Sontag Shogun shares “The Tightrope Session” — a live performance recorded in an industrial lighting design warehouse in Brooklyn.
Derrick Stembridge | Mike Petruna :: Cryptic Logic (Labile)
Derrick Stembridge and Mike Petruna’s Cryptic Logic is an easily-digested industrial album with atmospheric aspects. It is mindful of Front Line Assembly’s more atmospheric works, with dystopian and futuristic elements.
Meat Beat Manifesto & Merzbow :: Extinct (Cold Spring)
This is not a collaboration you thought could happen or would happen. Extinct reminded me a bit of the more noisy performances at the legendary Maschinenfest festivals I’ve attended over the years. Like pre-Hands ORPHX or early Synapscape. Become reacquainted with some beautiful music / rhythmic noise.
