Generating enough momentum from one creation to the next, these dozen kaleidoscopic and tectonic impressions register high on our Best of 2022 list.
Tag: Ambient
Netherworld :: Vanishing Lands (Glacial Movements)
Built on repetitive motifs, fragmented and desolate melodious fragments sustained by diversified electronic experimentations.
Kangding Ray :: ULTRACHROMA (ara)
Throughout the ULTRACHROMA, there’s a sense of the infinite. Oscillating synths feel like they’re going to float away, but they never actually leave.
Sérine :: Fictions EP (Courier)
The compositions seem akin to paintings, layered and still, simple evocations of time passing. Each track has a special drone pattern that it thrives within.
Ard Bit :: Field Recordings – 01 Sri Lanka & 02 Nolay (Self Released)
These are sculpted selections of field sounds, creating an informative flow for your listening enjoyment. Instead of instruments, the composer is using recordings and arranging selections from the spectrum of audio that has been captured.
The Snodgrass :: Styloid Process EP (imputor?)
Two decades later and The Snodgrass (aka Jordan Snodgrass) returns to his roots by pulling on them from the imputor? depths—seven tracks of machine music from outer space, he’s still got that fuzzy experimental electronics vibe.
David Helpling :: IN (Spotted Peccary)
The magic of these solar colors appear little by little and then in great bounding leaps, with amethyst, emerald and sapphire shades emerging as we soar above the realms of the sea.
Whatever The Weather :: Whatever The Weather (Ghostly International)
The self-titled debut under the latest alias is poetic and melodic, as Loraine James explores vocal practices drenched in harmonic environments and everlasting reverb chambers.
Pleasurefields :: Shelter (Touched Music / Pleasure Wax)
Pleasurefields’ mix of acoustic instrumentation, electronic lushness and really accomplished vocals combine into a sublime cocktail.
Esoteric Abstraction :: Technical Swamp EP (Point Source Electronic Arts)
For those familiar with the PSA collective will immediately feel right at home with Technical Swamp—however, what delves further is the essence of dub and broken beat influences in this one.
Keiss :: Access Denied (Pulse State)
It is evident that Keiss is able to maintain a concise aesthetic with loads of attention to detail and many layers to keep each track compelling from start to finish.
