Experimental Electronic Music
Forged from steel-string electric guitar alone, This Broken World is a dark alt-ambient meditation where looping drones, restless fingers, and decaying tape-like repetitions favor texture over melody, tracing desperation, endurance, and the fragile possibility of repair as sound slowly resists entropy.
Cent’anni is the new single by Inude, marking the first chapter of a new cycle: a ballad about time that shatters, suspended between love and destruction.
Glass Colored Lilly by Yuki Fujiwara is a unique blend of traditional Japanese flute, jazz improvisation, and Pan-African rhythms. Produced by Bill Laswell, the album creates immersive, cross-cultural soundscapes that invite deep listening and reflection.
Rarely does a project feel so eclectic yet so cohesive, a sprawling, hypnotic sound-world where repetition seems impossible, and every listen reveals a new path through its immersive maze.
Coupled with intense rhythmic hooks and jaunty infectious melancholy lyrics, these short sweet pieces make me feel joyful and full of hope, even as the lyrics are moody and depressing.
Minimalistic guitar music that works as an easy going soundscape for a minimally distracting background that does not require your absolute attention, but it can also satisfy the need for details and perfect construction.
Nearing its 30 years of age, You Ishihara’s Passivité is seeing the light of day again thanks to its reissue on Black Editions.
And like a dream, or the waking dream of creative action and inspiration, the flow state of this album passes by with temporal swiftness. Caught up in the eddies and swirls we are soon down the stream of consciousness and into a calm clear pool.
Under blankets of mostly improvised evolving loops of piano and baritone guitar can be heard muffled specters of working life, implying nature will come for everything and eventually hide the scars.
Salt takes the delicate mixture of acoustic instruments such as viola, violin, piano and guitar combined with subtle electronics to the next level. The new album is both a remarkable departure and at the same time sheds a new yet reassuring light on Hansen’s work and creativity.
