Taylor Deupree :: Harbor / Small Winters (Laaps / Puremagnetik)
Harbor and Small Winters are two more albums in an impressive string of works by Deupree. Both albums reward careful attention with their subtlety and beauty…
Grandbruit :: Adaptation (Élan Vital)
Adaptation adds to a growing back catalog, with languorous, looping motifs accruing through judicious entrainment into an overall suite whose doleful resonance is as strong emotionally as timbrally.
Field Lines Cartographer :: Dreamtides (Castles In Space)
Dreamtides is another widescreen work that plays out like a sonic dream journal, with vivid illustrations of unreal landscapes couched in slow-elaborated recursions of languorous synth-tones.
RX-101 :: New Discoveries (Suction)
A treasure trove of music has been curated by Suction, created by Erik Jong, and long may they keep unveiling modern masterpieces of a time now past.
Hypnos :: Vindictiveness (Mahorka)
These audible formations have more to do with mystery and exploration than any particular genre or musical style. A timeless and fully engulfing journey.
Chad Mossholder :: Lighghthouse (Schematic Music Co.)
High-frequency electronic tone fragments seamlessly elide with crotales and sizzling phantoms, mingling with brisk tempo fragments.
Zero Ohms :: Cloudwalker & the Ascent (Spotted Peccary)
Taking advantage of interrupted sleep patterns, many of the tracks on Cloudwalker & the Ascent were laid down in the hour just before dawn, their inspiration distilled from dreams, often with the Moon & Venus smiling through the open backdoor of his cabin.
Notein :: Salire (3OP)
A transitional work that carries narrative like that of an original soundtrack.
Dissolved :: Island Flux (Dissolvedamberrooms)
Dissolved finds a sonic tapestry of his own; floating somewhere in the cover artworks’ shallow sea, tranquility and solace surrounds Island Flux. A precious gem.
36 :: Symmetry Systems (Past Inside the Present)
Dennis’ works can range from full-on blissed-out atmospheres, to looping melodic dreamscapes, and Symmetry Systems feels like more of the latter.
