A lot of what I can also appreciate in this release is the spatial layering. Minotaur Shock employs a degree of ‘less is more’ as he allows movements to build, whilst simultaneously dismantling and pushing parts to other areas of the sonic field.
Tag: Abstract
Biosphere :: Angel’s Flight (AD 93)
Featuring 12 tracks based on Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 14 spanning the classical-electronics divide with a blend of electronica, hauntological sonics and modern composition, is no exception.
Aeon Cub :: Vacant King (Kaer’Uiks)
The sometimes frenetic breaks and beats avalanche are counterbalanced by punctuated low-flying rhythms, taking us to those brittle and precision IDM releases of yesteryear (ref. Brothomstates, Karsten Pflum, Proem, Xela, Gimmik et al).
Xordox :: Omniverse (Editions Mego)
Omniverse is otherworldly in a futuristic and Sci-fi kind of way, yet it holds all those classic sounds emanating from a 1980s inspired European synth sound. From this release an intricate soundtrack emanates, often touching upon the fringes of techno rave, yet it never sounds recycled in any way and holds its own originality.
The Fire Video :: 海空時間電子宇宙 (Self Released)
The album starts off with fluctuating IDM and beat-infused choruses to jazz-blasted and grooving hip-hop sound sculptures, and eventually transforms into dreamlike fragments that appear to have no end and no beginning.
Fail & Hendekagon :: Rust (Adventurous Music)
These scorched and often blistered sandstorms are pulled together with a soundtrack-infused sheen, as if intentionally meant to rust and permanently damage itself along the way.
Data Morgana :: Unworldly Potential (Memoirs)
Ethereal harmonic grooves and organic production techniques seamlessly create background listening environments transporting the listener to downtempo and chilled spaces and gently skewed electronica.
Jeremy Young :: “Trafic” (feat. Tomonari Nishikawa) — video premiere
The pieces that make up Amaro are what happens when you take a bunch of citrus and herbs and ferment them together, and then distill them. “Trafic” video premiere.
