Tag: Abstract
Rena Jones & KiloWatts :: Caesura (Cartesian Binary)
Caesura is a very listenable production, with consistent compositions and solid mastering; several familiar classical and acoustic sounds are infused all around.
Sombre Lux :: Raw Øblations 3: Fed to the Crows EP (Errorgrid)
Raw Øblations 3: Fed to the Crows is a short sharp shock of an EP by Sombre Lux.
Tescon Pol :: The Longer Morrow (Concrete Collage)
The duo’s exceptional ability to create gritty compositions, minuscule glitch shapes, and abstract vocal data streams, all coalesce in The Longer Morrow, a potent auditory collection.
Shahzad Ismaily, Stanford Cheung, Andrea Scala :: ENDROLL EP (Aural Shapes)
ENDROLL is an EP that weaves together a landscape of multi-instrument improvisations. The genesis of this album began with the question of whether all music needs a beginning, and instead, to hypothesize on whether music could still retain intention when drawn from a place of “finality.”
Frank Riggio :: Qu4drilogy (Versions / Outtakes) (Hymen)
“Qu4drilogy is a concept work for four albums by Frank Riggio iggio. The concept is fully finished with the additional album Versions / Outtakes—released exactly one year after the first part was published.”
windscreen strings :: instinct EP (33-33)
instinct elicits playful blips and bleeps as structured found sounds are carefully pieced together, transporting us to uncharted realms.
Scarper :: Noctis EP (Plexus)
Scarper takes a high-octane approach to his already accelerated exp-electronics trajectory.

As Scillocsenports ups the ante, Paun’s exceptional ability to assimilate raw electronics is simply out of this world, serving as a comprehensive cross section and exemplary collection of next level glitch acrobatics.
Ümlaut :: An Auxiliary View (Audiobulb)
Ümlaut (aka northern Connecticut-based Jeff Düngfelder) elevates An Auxiliary View, delving light years into transparent soundscapes, expansive musique concrète, microscopic glitch mechanisms, and static pulses for the consistently adventurous Audiobulb imprint.
C. Spencer Yeh :: The RCA Mark II (Primary Information) — 2017 flashback

Here it is fetishized, stroked, recorded with reverence, only later to be dissected, spliced, and decomposed into its own archival document.
