Overall, musically, Vikande blå / Nuages occupies a span of the ambient-drone spectrum that should lure in fans from, say, PITP to 12k, with Aiko T’s more minimal experimental sensibility nearer the latter, and Old Amica’s more fulsome space/post-rock leanings the former. A quality package, as you’ll have come to expect from Handstitched*.
Tag: Abstract
ALEPH :: REFRACTOR EP (Renraku) — [concise]
REFRACTOR stands as a testament to ALEPH’s ability to balance dancefloor focus with a deeply abstract sound palette, adding another standout piece to Renraku’s expansive High Tech/Low Frequency collection.
Damián Anache :: Lento, en un jardín lenticular (Inkilino)
Anache plays a lot with each sound he introduces, and instead of striving for some insane out-of-this world timbres like you may sometimes hear in guitar-driven electroacoustics, he focuses more on building with the more subtle tones he’s creating. Layering and constant variation make this a worthwhile LP for fans of atonal electronic music.
Joseph Sannicandro & Jordan Christoff :: Surreal Transit (Global Pattern)
A rich sound flows, drifting through the sonic textures of electric, natural and urban, electronic and field recordings, radio crackled voices, loops and textures, but with no reliance on words.
Yoker Moon :: Mood Studies (Waxing Crescent)
Mood Studies encapsulates the transient, fragmented nature of existence, offering a surreal and meditative listening experience that feels both intimate and expansive—a must-listen for those who find beauty in imperfection.
John Bickerton :: Atlas Eclipticalis – The music of John Cage & Earle Brown (Simple Harmonic Motion)
The music of John Cage & Earle Brown captures the essence of Cage’s and Brown’s avant-garde philosophies, making it essential for enthusiasts of experimental classical music, and for those that want to tip their toe into exploring the beginnings of electronic music.
Jairus Sharif :: Find energy in exploration
“I’m enthusiastic about so-called distortion, noise, blur, etc. and began to find energy in the exploration of signal-to-noise ratios and what true clarity of signal means to me. Accuracy, as I had previously understood it, is of little concern to me, and I’ve found that clarity in spirit has a high level of distortion as one of its most desirable traits.” ~Jairus Sharif
Neutrino Effect :: FAMINE (Labile)
Radiating enigmatic industrial-electronic pulses from Omaha, Neutrino Effect (aka Jon Sanford) ventures into an entirely different dimension with FAMINE, a fourteen-track assemblage, fleeting in length but with the cosmic force of the universe propelling us through its boundless depths.
Apocryphos :: Atrementia (Cryo Chamber)
Atrementia was composed exclusively with circuit bent hardware, home-made oscillators, pedals and electric guitar fed through analog processing. Your memories are dressed in black. I can see them, you cannot hide from my lost eyes. What I hear are warm, analog noise and looped pedal drone balance light and dark, for day dreamers and long nights of reflection.
Konstantinos Gkoumas :: PYR EP (People Can Listen)
PYR is an eclectic mosaic of creative soundscapes and IDM nuances, captured with skillful precision, revealing a world of sonic textures that exist on an entirely surreal spectrum.
ir_ :: Threnode EP (Isness/Analogical Force)
Though ir_’s intoxicating sonic architecture is impossible to resist, the Alabama-based producer expertly weaves a tapestry of nostalgic textures, leaving us craving for just a little more.
