James Long’s flexible and creative sound-scrapes have become a benchmark within IDM’s expansive realm of abstract musical—and non-musical—explorations.
Tag: Abstract
Simon Littauer :: Modular (Katharsis)
Drawing from his over nine years of experience with Eurorack modular synthesizers, Littauer’s creations offer a vivid and immersive experience, where each track feels like a universe of its own, filled with rich, saturated clusters of sound.
Dessin Bizarre, Anderdog :: Imagine (Mestnost)
Imagine doesn’t merely present a collection of tracks—it offers a holistic experience. The sequencing is deliberate, guiding the listener through peaks and valleys, tension and release. Every sound is sculpted with care, every transition a gentle shift in the album’s dreamlike terrain.
Astrobal :: L’uomo e la natura (Karaoke Kalk)
This suite equally transports me into the gravity fields of swiftly tilting orbits, recalling the fun and excitement of the new worlds our old futures were supposed to have delivered us to by now.
Markus Guentner :: Black Dahlia (Affin)
Black Dahlia is a relentless sonic departure and nuanced droning record of ominous, ecstatic and sublime fractures that will certainly appear among best albums of the year for lovers of adventurous music with ascending spiritual motifs.
Single Cell Orchestra :: A.M. (Self Released)
An immersive ambient electronic album that captures emotional complexity with unflinching honesty, and comes highly recommended.
Roel Funcken :: Data Curation 2 (EC Underground)
Whatever I may have thought about the interesting structures of the start of this release, I can’t deny there’s a special place in my heart for taking it up a notch and I bet there’s one in yours too.
Deuter :: Mångata (Curve Blue)
A collection of nine songs, inspired by the natural world, bringing a pleasing sense of inner peace and healing, while slowing down the madness of this world. Mångata explores the connection between the Earth and the Moon’s reflected light on water.
V/A :: Distant Arrays Volume 08 (Satellite Era)
The Distant Arrays series comes to a close with its eighth release, showcasing for one last time, new entries in the Satellite Era family, and generally upcoming artists that would benefit from some kind of push like this.
