Experimental Electronic Music
Mathias Villard is a very promising sound artist and Past Radiance can easily figure among my top favorite albums for this year. Exquisite, wistful, cinematic, alluring and emotionally transportive. For fans of Alessandro Cortini, Bvdub, Loscil, Markus Fjellström and Terence Hannum. Once more, Affin proves to be in the first league concerning modern-day ambient-lush drone music.
Two decades removed from the clockwork IDM of Polytuft-Tech, Tim Martin’s returning light (Home Normal) and beneath still stars (handstitched*) find him stripping everything back to drift, texture, and quietly resonant melody, resulting in two companion albums that feel less like separate releases than different sides of the same long, unhurried thought.
God Is Everything You Are Not is built from voice, MicroKORG synthesis, a microphonic soundbox from LeafAudio, and field recordings. Seven pieces, just under 36 minutes. The release notes describe grief approached as passage rather than narrative, and that framing holds, this record puts you inside the duration of something rather than telling you it happened.
wave_function ultimately displays an artist working in top form, mapping out a series of experimental electronic terrains that converge into something uniformly disjointed, immersive, and quietly mind-bending.
Landscape 07 unfolds in breaths: slow waves advance, overlap, recede and return in subtly altered forms. The movement is continuous, yet it can escape a distracted listener. You need to stop, allow the piece to find its own pace and follow its changes as you might follow shadows moving across a field.
A mesmerizing collision of ambient, jazz, electronics and ritualistic textures, this album unfolds like a deep-space journey that never loses its human pulse.
Irezumi returns with a deeply immersive ambient journey where granular textures, subtle electronic details, and melancholic atmospheres unfold into a beautifully restrained world of sound.
What began as an ordinary box of records arriving at work quickly turns into a strange trip down the rabbit hole of Synaptic Cliffs—a label where extraterrestrials, electronic music legends, immaculate vinyl and one very elusive artist called pdqb somehow all make perfect sense.
Los Angeles-based ambient explorer stanleycypress finds comfort in smaller spaces with Ephemeral, a two-track slice of life where atmospheric modulations weave through melodic drone tones and cascading Detroit-inflected textures.
In Passage, some of the most elemental transitions are embraced and explored using sound to portray some complex and undefined spiritual concepts. The concept behind Passage is that of passing from one phase of your life to another. This may include new residences, changing relationships, traveling to an entirely different solar system, or passing on from this life to whatever may be next.
Bracaloni’s latest traverse moves through warm, spacious soundscapes built for getting lost within, where atmosphere lingers long after each piece fades.
