Experimental Electronic Music
Outside the limits of Your Sight arrives as something closer to an exploratory document than a straight club record, and the opener makes that clear immediately. It doesn’t set you up for what you’d expect, instead it eases in with something eerie and ambient, almost hesitant, like a producer deliberately withholding the more familiar version of himself to see how long you’ll follow.
Two albums, two deeply immersive worlds, where restraint, process, and patience become the most powerful instruments of all.
For an artist whose work is rooted in the landscapes and quiet moments of Patagonia, Tesoros is Lumtz at his most personal and his most generous—sharing an archive of walks, notes, and small musical experiments as if handing you his journals and saying, here, take a look. Most listeners will find something in it. The ones who slow down enough will find quite a lot.
Iranian experimental musicians Shahin Entezami (aka Tegh) and Adel Poursamadi reunite for their third collaboration album Bayal, a creative response of greyscale synthesis, violin, and traditional instrumentation to a 1964 collection of short stories by seminal Iranian author Gholam-Hossein Sa’edi.
Piercing electronics and cinematic sonic extensions are folded into colossal forms across Jérôme Chassagnard’s Hora Fugit, an 11-track suite that constantly contracts and expands.
Even as the music voyages across the celestial empyrean of space, he opens up new territory, diving downwards into the underworld where the mysteries of Orpheus (poet, musician, prophet) are encountered in their cavernous depths. Here the Orphic lyre is a synthesizer. Here it is a collection of psychotronic modules who route electricity to the point where it tingles with lucid scintillation. This is a third ear music awakening the inner senses to subtle vibrations.
In Rotation across the past several weeks and months, this multi-view column surveys a shifting electronic landscape shaped by bold and forward-thinking artists. Expect fractured rhythms, glitch aesthetics, abstract experimentation, mechanical precision, industrial pressure, melodic detours, and bass-heavy electro transmissions from Alavux, Annie Hall, Delta Division, Koloah, Low Battery Orchestra, Modul, neuroboy, Nocto, R.I.O.T, Trofusin, and Voltaire.
Now You Exist gives me hope that maybe 2018 was not the last time we heard from The Field, because perhaps 2026 won’t be either. In all seriousness, this seems to be a proper comeback in a year of proper comebacks. This EP will not disappoint any longtime fan, but maybe it’s only the beginning of a new era for Willner, who hopefully hasn’t run out of ink—or MIDI tracks.
Moonshadows is dedicated to the most impressionistic, oceanic-tinged, and neoclassical dimension of his music. The pieces are built around the piano’s delicate, gently moving, semi-improvised detached melodies. Repetition, stillness, and peacefulness form a body of feelings.
Knowing what Foel built this record out of—a difficult mental health stretch, a fascination with landscapes that are beautiful and hostile in equal measure, a process built on chaos eventually resolving into order, Gwasgaru earns its title honestly.
A uniquely curated collection that embraces “experimental electronic” less as a genre than as a method of investigation—rewarding passive listening, certainly, but revealing far more through careful examination. The album invites repeated immersion into everything hiding just beneath its fractured surface.
