V/A :: Genome 3 (Point Source Electronic Arts)

Each musician displays their own knack for agitated electrical mayhem, some dive into grittier industrial spaces, while others venture into modular fizz-fuzz acrobatics.

Finely sliced glitch morsels

They’re all here—a complete set of genetic sonic materials are present within this multifaceted organism, brought to us by Point Source Electronic Arts’ Genome 3 compilation; where finely sliced glitch morsels combine and coalesce in twenty-one chapters. Each musician displays their own knack for agitated electrical mayhem, some dive into grittier industrial spaces, while others venture into modular fizz-fuzz acrobatics. And it’s within these audible pulses that the label cultivates their sound.

As compilations tend to mix a variety of genres, Point Source Electronic Arts hones in on the finest in the field of gravitational glitch and braindance elements, aligned to keep a congruent flow that allows the listener to spin in order of appearance, or on random. Personal favorites include tracks by Tokee, Sytrjv, Redote, Feederwire, Access to Arasaka, Ned Rush, Mtch, Hexalyne, Static Logic, Dragon & Jettenbach, and The Fellow Passenger. A compilation that is a cut above the others, embracing the sheer magnitude of experimental and technologically advanced music.

As an added bonus, the participants have compiled a new sample kit with over 1500 instruments, sounds, and loops, free to use in your own compositions.
