From abstract industrial noise-scapes to modular and synthesized fluctuations, Imbued Vagary maintain focus on each of their unusually perceptive pieces.
Tag: Abstract
Eomac :: Cracks (Planet Mu)
For Cracks—which was produced in a rural part of Ireland without any outside pressure—Eomac showcases an aptitude for more upfront and punctuated techno, sliced breaks, and broken beat strains.
second seasons :: Parse, Care (Schematic)
A fascinating study of what happens when you apply Autechre levels of technology to making more directly accessible but still experimental beats.
Synade :: Synade (Megatape)
A visceral collection of organized electronic mayhem from broken breaks, heavier hitting drums, blips’n bleeps, erratic breakcore vs braindance, early synth-pop/punk, acid noodling and did we mention low-end rattling?
exm :: Post Acuem (Self Released)
exm manages to dive into blissful sound design elements that at once sound mechanical and arcane but somehow also exude emotivly magnetic attractions.
Chaircrusher :: Stars Have Fallen (Triplicate)
Taking us back to early DeFocus, Delsin and Neo Ouija days where lightly sprinkled electronics birthed IDM’s trajectory into melodic and blissful moments, Chaircrusher captures familiar terrain with luminous sonic bubbles.
Roel Funcken :: S1.MK2 (Self Released)
By pushing and pulling on a vast tapestry of textured noises and glittery soundscapes, the exploratory nature of this album is offset by its attention to nuanced, imprecise and sparkling electronic flutter.
Terror Peaks :: Terror Peaks EP (MOTR)
Each piece contains enough content and creative fuel to keep our attention zoned in while shards of electro, breaks, and technoid forms are exposed with jazzier outer layers.
Fxbip :: Choke / Ame Polaire (Concrete Collage)
Fxbip shatters preconceived notions of nonsensical experimentation and instead focuses on unique (even if a bit turbulent) concrete sound collages that bend, flex, and splinter with a punctuated sheen.
Seigo Aoyama :: On The Drift (Audiobulb)
Darker strands mix with lightened pitter-patter tones that simply fade away. These unusually magnetic sonic traverses detail organic, nostalgic, and atmospheric forays that should be absorbed as a whole to even begin to capture its aural glow.
mōshonsensu :: Solemn Grandeur EP (Abstrakt Reflections)
If mōshonsensu wanted to capture that certain IDM soundscape from yesteryear, he certainly hits the target with Solemn Grandeur.
