Experimental Electronic Music
On Islands Alight, percussion takes on a structural role, the bass gains weight, echo intervenes in the form, and the pulse alters the relationship between the different parts. The British composer points to the history of dub within electronic music as one of the project’s sources.
Durable Oxide announces itself with DOX-001—the debut release from a new Portland, Oregon-based label intent on delivering decisive electronic atmospheres. It’s a strong opening statement for a label to make, and Radio Free Money earns it.
From Helsinki’s Toinen kerros comes Isthmus Recordings, a new label and live archive capturing the restless, intimate sounds of Finland’s experimental music scene.
Leo’s latest six-track EP, Cicada Burnt, is a stunningly crafted collection of teknoid soundscapes where cutting-edge pulses scatter love bullets of intent with serious depth, weight and imagination.
With the completion of this trilogy, we acknowledge our part as a remote viewer of Dean’s life over three decades. Salvaging The Future—perhaps more than the prior two albums—is a restless collage, yet it is so well mixed that it lends itself to uninterrupted full-album listening. This listener is tuning in about 2x per day at the moment. Despite the challenges these decades have wrought, the trilogy’s close with “Our Story Survives Collectively” leaves us with a sense of hope. This is music for visioning.
All in all, a very good introduction to Eighth Tower’s substantial catalog for lovers of deep electronic sound art. Quite recommended while reading Margaret Murray’s acclaimed history of European witchcraft.
Such sleek, rhythmic glitch sees rinse.repeat at it again with this oversized extended player, running just over twenty-four minutes and moving through modernized, mechanized electronic flutter.
The Precipice is the clearest proof yet that the trust between Boulton and Bax runs deep enough to produce something genuinely singular. It’s the sound of two producers who stopped negotiating with each other and started finishing each other’s sentences.
The Cardboard Falcon is a profoundly vibrant, impressionistic, cinematic, slow-moving, and melodically oriented neoclassical album that will lead the listener to a state of serenity and contemplation.
Mount Analogue is a landmark work from a master artist in tribute to the great chain of influence that goes from one seeker to another, from one artist to another. I consider it another essential clue in my own quest for discovering an applying obscure knowledge.
Photographic Memory is essentially the city chopped fine until it stops sounding like a city and starts sounding like weather. It’s made to be heard as a continuous mix, but Speake wants you to feel free to dip in and out.
