Experimental Electronic Music
Less than a year after TON, a two-hour-and-a-half glitch mammoth that made it into Igloo’s Best of 2024 round-up, Özcan Saraç is back on Evel with Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response—and if TON already seemed daunting for its lengths and experimentation, Saraç’s seventh album ups the ante, clocking over 330 minutes divided into twenty-five movements.
All in all, this is an album that doesn’t fail to entertain those looking for interesting, leftfield electronica. The aesthetic of this LP very much matches its concept, and if you want to feel like you’re part of the labyrinth yourself, might as well try and do the one on the cover, only to realize after a little bit that it’s completely closed off and you’d feel as lost as you should.
iota was created to be received on several levels, both conceptually and sonically. Various instruments and features of the mix represent spatial locations in an imaginary landscape: ground, horizon, and sky, for example. Experienced in a good listening environment, the listener will imagine distance, elevation, and perhaps even time.
At times, the sound feels almost mechanical—like a dishwasher trying to interpret a broken InSinkErator’s message—as grinding microscopic clicks and bleeps collide within their own labyrinth before retreating into four states of shattered stillness.
Vienna, Austria-based independent electronic music label Electropia emphases on conceptualizing transmedia art beyond the confines of merely releasing music. The artistic approach to the project has led to enhanced states of sensory perception.
An eerie, hypnotic atmosphere permeates Soplo, with its ambivalent, wandering melodies, flowing synth patterns, unpredictable experiments, and manipulations, all complemented by processed field recordings.
With a unique ability to fractalize microscopic melodic elements into intricate soundscapes and minimal synth structures, Breach I reimagines the (hyper) glitch genre with bold and subtle clarity.
The conceptual foundation of Herts draws from the tragic, heroic, and ritualistic aspects of soldiers’ behavior as they confront situations where their lives are constantly at risk, their foundations are destabilized, and the ever-present shadow of death looms over them.
Mist is a captivating journey through a kaleidoscope of abstract electronic realms, where every twist and turn pulses with raw emotion and sonic daring. Unbound by convention, it moves relentlessly forward, immersing the listener in a world of continuous, unyielding sound exploration.
Defined by an intricate layering of instruments, particularly within the classical music realm, which are then transformed and reshaped through the use of vintage electronic devices, adding a unique depth and texture to the acoustic arrangements.
Tetragram is a captivating experience through perception, nature, and the passage of time, blending subtle noise and intricate instrumental textures into a soundscape unlike any other.
