Poborsk :: Astronaut Mom (Da ! Heard It)
Sliced, diced and often flickering musical fragments almost coalesce in a stream of data flows only to be sideswiped by constantly shifting pitter-patter beats and shuffling ambient patterns that seem invisible.
Iván Muela & Meneh Peh :: Ibidem (Adventurous Music)
What I like are the mixing of layers with distinctly foreshadowed build-up and release, I feel a state of hypnotism and heightened consciousness. The tracks are quite lengthy to allow for a mid-song climax followed by a soft breakdown…
Mike Lazarev :: Sacred Tonalities (Past Inside the Present)
Sounding simultaneously natural and digital, Lazarev has expertly blended field recordings and atmospheres with his warm, synthesized compositions resulting in the feeling of one, fluid, organic whole rather than separate elements and layers fighting for space.
Dub Tractor :: Wait (Touched Music)
It’s really great to see and hear Touched Music giving some of these artists another new home, and whilst it’s part of a ten year anniversary and bringing back feelings and artists I had love for more 20 years ago when I was first discovering them.
Bart Hawkins :: Entering the Axis Mundi (Spotted Peccary Music)
A circle begins and ultimately returns to the start, and you have gained all of the experience of the textures, and silence, sparking a spiritual awakening into the power of sound of the journey around the forms.
Runar Magnusson :: Sub-Photic Scenario (Erototox Decodings)
This work was inspired by the deep ocean, the pressure, the darkness and the fact that there are amazing creatures down there creating their own light, brightening up their surroundings via bioluminescence.
Aries Mond :: Skinscape (Self Released)
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.
Philippe Blache :: The Ever Sounding Sea Of Grief (GH)
A slow moving, contemplative, dark and sustained, thrilling and colossal poetical/musical drama of overwhelming expressive intensity with hints of hidden cathedral organs holding each listener up to the sky above their wearisome moments and extending the illustrative emotional mood.
Tomoyoshi Date :: 438Hz As It Is, As You Are (laaps)
Tomoyoshi Date is a musician who knows how to make warm music from a cold laptop. To that end, he uses recordings from a Diapason upright piano in the house of his maternal grandmother’s sister.
Bart Hawkins :: Bell’s Theorem (Self Released)
Hawkins elicits increasing clearly defined tones from his modular synth, with bright ambience and traces of an improvisatory concert of lofty circles in the air, like entangled particles dancing in their contemplative and transcendent harmonic existence.
