In this tantalizing and aptly-titled release, several disintegrated sparks coalesce amid unique auditory aberrations.
Tag: Ambient
VAAG :: Twenty Two (Point Source Electronic Arts)
These perplexing sound sculptures are painstakingly designed with expressive layers to suggest a sense of uniform chaos; often broken, battered, and blistered to no end. But on the outskirts, we hear (and see) VAAG seamlessly twisting extraterrestrial glitch fabrics on Twenty Two like an experienced tailor.
Rafael Anton Irisarri :: FAÇADISMS (Black Knoll Editions)
An ethereal ambient record that incorporates live instrumentation as well, more notably in the form of orchestral accompaniments with guitar workouts splattered throughout—and some occasional vocals too.
Inkipak :: Phokusd (Inkitrax)
Phokusd is a concentrated collection of smothered audio works detailing some of the finest experimental electronic music that doesn’t overstay its welcome and constantly exudes top-notch production values front to back.
Chihei Hatakeyama & Shun Ishiwaka :: Magnificent Little Dudes, Volume 02 (Gearbox)
Atmospheric post-rock guitar and drumming that teeters between jazz and rock combine to form a record that sounds exactly like you would imagine the two to sound like when put together, with good chemistry to make it all work as well as it does.
The Off-Keytchen :: The lady from New York (Kaczynski Editions – Pulsioni Oblique)
Considering the density of each piece, The lady from New York is a surreal, disjointed, yet perplexing album that merits repeated listening to even begin scratching its multi-layered surfaces.
Parallel Worlds :: Impressions (Móatún 7)
Parallel Worlds’ Impressions is another high-caliber album that is definitely worth listening to with its tendency toward darker tones and cinematic caliber.
Macrogramma :: Magnetic Series (Lᴏɴᴛᴀɴᴏ Series)
For Macrogramma, the medium evidently brings with it, more than nostalgia’s facile allure, in contrast to digital’s infinite possibility, an intransigence forcing definitive choices.
ARC :: Chronicle (DiN)
Chronicle contains aspects of industrial, techno, and ambient genres; with due sophistication, it meshes well with music from an earlier era.
Icky Reels :: FIND YA GURL EP (Self Released)
It’s almost as though we’re trapped in an extended dreamlike sequence surrounded by hundreds of found sounds, kaleidoscope visuals, and instrumental tones and pulses, complete with shuffled vocal samples, downtempo lounge excursions, and glitchy hip-hop slicing layers.
V/A :: Reticle Remixes Pt 1 (Patterned Media)
Patterned Media returns with the first installment of a two-part remix compilation— b0t23 + inoperative system, Reticle Remixes Pt. 1 with remixes from across the pond by Senmove (Spain), Roel Funcken (Netherlands), Adrien d’Elzius (Belgium), and Hexalyne (Romania). Album art by b0t23.
