Experimental Electronic Music
The nine tracks of Death Mask fall into techno. However, such labelling does this record a disservice. Richard Fearless is pushing the limitations of the genre and forging new paths within the sound. His ability, and years of experience, come to the fore as new audio explorations are charted.
This body of work stands as a singular achievement—uniting fractured percussion, deep low-end gravity, and razor-sharp production. Each piece resonates simultaneously as a cohesive statement and a series of singular visions.
Across this collection of concise compositions, modular synthesizers stretch and twist, weaving intricate strands of melody beneath tough, textured Skittles-like surfaces.
William Fields & Synalegg form an unorthodox alliance—uncanny, compelling, and persistently on the frontier of rhythmic evolution. Their union reshapes auditory terrain, an enigmatic dialogue between circuitry and emotion.
Monologue Intérieur takes a more intimate, solitary path—rooted in daily life, field recordings, and almost post-Cage-like sparse and fragile piano sequences.
A culmination of everything Day Before Us has cultivated over the past decade, while venturing into even more radiant, immersive terrain. For listeners willing to let go and drift in its pull, Dim Shores of Eternity is one of the most beautiful and haunting releases of the year—a spiritual monument built from silence, sorrow, and sublime sound.
There is a geography of the soul that Rafael Anton Irisarri mapped out in 2015, a cartography drawn with electrified mists, torn soundscapes, and submerged melancholies. A Fragile Geography, his third release on Room40 (see our 2016 review here), spoke at the time with a dark and hushed voice, the echo of an emotionally fractured era. Now, ten years later, the album returns in a newly curated edition by Black Knoll Editions.
Industrial sediment spreads across six distinct pieces by Ukrainian composer and sound sculptor (Kateryna) Zavoloka.
As always, Contagious Orgasm proves vital and restless—an enduring force in experimental audio since the late ’80s, still conjuring chaos and cohesion from the unruly tide of avant-garde electronics.
Designed to awaken compassion and connection, this collection reminds us that every species has its place—and right—on this planet we collectively call home.
This auditory sojourn—marked by vibrant global hues and elusive, abstract textures—fractures and fuses in unexpected ways, blurring the lines between composition and instinct.
