Enabl.ed, however, pushes forward and creates a new chapter for IDM explorations with each piece having its unique sound fragment; punctuating sweet electrical “errors” that are sincerely esoteric and essential.
Tag: Abstract
Red Brut :: Spontaneous sound collage
On Bare Ground is a sculptural work blending its lo-fi with haunting melodies, field recordings, and ethereal soundscapes. Uncompromising in its approach, the album evokes the echoes of experimental music from a spectrum that ranges from dark bedroom pop to rhythmic noise, crafting a cloudy and dreamlike atmosphere.
Nemerov :: Chromatic Aberration (Explorations)
In this tantalizing and aptly-titled release, several disintegrated sparks coalesce amid unique auditory aberrations.
VAAG :: Twenty Two (Point Source Electronic Arts)
These perplexing sound sculptures are painstakingly designed with expressive layers to suggest a sense of uniform chaos; often broken, battered, and blistered to no end. But on the outskirts, we hear (and see) VAAG seamlessly twisting extraterrestrial glitch fabrics on Twenty Two like an experienced tailor.
The Off-Keytchen :: The lady from New York (Kaczynski Editions – Pulsioni Oblique)
Considering the density of each piece, The lady from New York is a surreal, disjointed, yet perplexing album that merits repeated listening to even begin scratching its multi-layered surfaces.
Mark Fell :: Music imagines itself
At the send+receive Festival of Sound, Limpe Fuchs first heard and appreciated the music of Mark Fell, planting the seed of a collaboration that came to fruition when Fell (along with his son Rian Treanor) visited Fuchs at her home in Peterskirchen, Germany in September 2022. Black Truffle announced the release of the results of this extensive session in the audacious form of a triple LP, housing over two hours of music across its six sides titled Dessogia / Queetch / Fauch.
Icky Reels :: FIND YA GURL EP (Self Released)
It’s almost as though we’re trapped in an extended dreamlike sequence surrounded by hundreds of found sounds, kaleidoscope visuals, and instrumental tones and pulses, complete with shuffled vocal samples, downtempo lounge excursions, and glitchy hip-hop slicing layers.
Alessandro Cortini :: Nati Infiniti (Mute)
These propulsive and magnetic electro-acoustic voyages leads us to a state of high transcendence, evolving in unknown directions and various paths of consciousness.
