Boysen, in sum, steers these definitive high-level productions as some of the finest on the planet. Creating an engrossing auditory experience of controlled chaos, Alta Ripa transports entangled technoid versus atmospheric coordinates that simply do not hold back.
Tag: Abstract
Luca Bevacqua :: Alpi Graie e Pennine EP (Detroit Underground)
Both subtle and saturated with distilled microsound layers, Alpi Graie e Pennine is simply otherworldly and comes highly recommended.
Jimmy Peggie :: Dusted in Darkness (Self Released)
Texture is most certainly this album’s ambassador, but it’s not just experimentation with noise. There’s a lot of subtlety and continuity, both of which make […]
Grischa Lichtenberger :: 1224_28_lv_1_re obliteration (dingn\dents)
Compared to Grischa Lichtenberger’s previous efforts, 1224_28_lv_1_re obliteration—released by South Korean label dingn\dents at the extreme tail end of 2024—leans even further into the digital noise side of glitch.
P.ST :: The Noise Fields (Silent)
The four fields of noise on this album connect different points in deep time to an essential temporal unity in a carnival of whirling chaos whose sound is as powerful as any cyclone or vortex. It can suck you in, and through its portal, transport your mind into another world of consciousness.
Neuro… No Neuro :: Card Catalogue (Dragon’s Eye)
Can you create your own Zen on an eleven-hour flight from Berlin to Miami? I gave it a try with the February 2025 album Card Catalogue, by Neuro… No Neuro. Flights are a world of fleeting moments and constant interruptions. This album invites you to pause, sift through your mental archives, and find solace in the texture of memory.
Sciuridae :: \\\Sciuridae/// (Woodland Creatures)
The eponymous Sciuridae release for Woodland Creatures is dotted with crunchy blips and a sparse techno theme that breaks apart into delectable atmospheric chapters.
Rontronik :: Zero Nine (Tygr Rawwk Rcrds)
Rontronik’s taste for noisy textures and atmospheric shines on Zero Nine. Although in terms of composition, the album runs smoothly, its production is solid enough to demonstrate a good sense of timbre, and the sound palette he chooses to highlight is astounding.
Vaag :: Vague music
A brief, if not “vague,” Q&A session with Haarlem, Netherlands-based musician Marc Brinkerink (aka Vaag) intentionally designed to deliver a clear and direct line of communication without unnecessary clutter—except when it comes to his music, of course.
Irkya :: night flowers EP (Wormhole World)
This EP, which is ultimately calming, contemplative, and spot-on in its sonic approach, is a prelude to an album that we’re pretty excited to hear will (also) be released on Wormhole World in February 2025.
Invictus Hi-Fi :: Appearance EP (Self Released)
Appearance, a five-piece suite that veers into left-field sound structures, sampling, and roughened beats, is the result of 2024 sessions, in which Invictus Hi-Fi used live remixing techniques influenced by dub sound systems to give music from his albums and singles distinctive new dimensions.
