rand offers minuscule audio Polaroids where abstract pitter-patter notes glide with highly-tensioned strings vibrating in the most unusually calming tangents.
Tag: Abstract
James N Murray :: An Emerald Necklace (Dragon’s Eye)
Hidden complex beats, electronically restless, constantly shimmering about. The percussion pushes the whole thing just under the repeating melodies.
Greg Davis :: New Primes (Greyfade)
Greg Davis is exposing us to a work of simple tones made with prime numbers but with intention and purpose. Bravo for venturing into the small cracks of audio art that most don’t even see.
Ecovillage :: The Road Not Taken (laaps)
Overall, this release is a necessary reminder that we have gotten too far away from the intended, natural, human experience.
ANKUBU :: RX_71_0 (Subtrakt)
Dilapidated structures and sub-structures deform on RX_71_0 casting blistered symphonies submerged in devastating rhythms.
Jvox :: Strange Universe 3 (Component)
SU3 is yet another foray into the unknown; allowing its listeners to traverse distant and dense sound structures that are utterly unique and abstract, eerie and serene, chaotic and calm, and often at the same time.
V/A :: Artist Showcase – 3rd Edition (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Point Source Electronic Arts continue to expand their sonic reach with well-curated compilations displaying a knack for abstract electronics in all of its wonderfully skewed shapes and forms.
Rontronik :: Majestic Mosaics (Self Released)
Maneuvering through dilapidated ambient-electronics, alien concrète reverberations and clicks’n’cuts, data swirl and digital flutter.
Gilbert :: Shift the Focus EP (030303)
Gilbert pulls on a range of influences and inspirations without ever allowing his style to become overly nostalgic or specific. Instead, he employs a fluency of composition that brings a real uniqueness to his sound.
Scanner :: The Homeland of Electricity (DiN)
Cohesive from beginning to end, Scanner’s second release for the DiN label does not disappoint—especially if you are into moody atmospheric sound experiments that defy categorization.
Autechre :: Chiastic Slide & LP5 reissues (Warp)
…I like to think of Chiastic Slide and LP5 as the last albums Autechre made on planet Earth before gliding into another dimension.
