Experimental Electronic Music
Masaya Ozaki explores various sound sources on Mizukara and then manipulates them into comforting or sometimes discomforting new textures. There’s various acoustic instruments that get played with, contributing to the album’s overall variety and different soundscapes.
Written as an inner soundtrack where delicately moving melodies rise from velvet-like abstract electronics.
These themes explore the surprise at finding unexpected joy even at our darkest moments when our worst fears are realized and facing the unique stresses of adulthood by retaining a sense of childlike joy.
Tense Surfaces is an active departure from the glacial movement of Baker’s earlier work that I am familiar with and is a very delightful surprise.
What I hear are experimental, textured soundscapes, multilayered fusions of digital and analog techniques, sparse haunting keyboards and atmospheres…
Two engaging and alternative perspectives, focused on their diverse range of sound and melodic fusions. Navarro’s Phases & Caya’s Dream Vestibuli is a contrasting range of electronic-acoustic and organic sounds.
Throughout the album, labyrinthine lyrical reflections are dispersed with dazzling images, blurring scenes in world history with the most personal album by Meluch.
There has been careful attention made to the landscape, incorporating natural elements and zero gravity and the acoustic ambient experience, explosive and at times powdery, the science of landscape music, a form of minimalism. You can sometimes feel the time stretch.
