Experimental Electronic Music
While their core ideas are always there, minimal variations make these pieces work, as they’re not just loops going on for 25 minutes straight; there’s so few minimal details that it’s worth pointing them out individually instead of providing examples.
Their previous album—FUTURISM (Section 27, 2022—was billed as “exploring the farthest reaches of sandblasted electronics,” and Like Phantoms is a smooth progression forward. Despite being “underground” since 2009, Section 27’s releases consistently push IDM and experimental electronic boundaries, inching closer and closer to the surface.
The combination of noise bursts, crackles akin to a detuned radio, a return to field recordings, reverberant knob-twiddling, and terrifying noise washes, creates a powerful soundtrack that evokes a theme of nature versus industry.
These are undoubtedly dark ambient veils woven by a dedicated sonic detailer. All in all, a pulsating, abstract, and translucent album.
It is good to hear another contribution to the genre from Dave Seidel, whose homage is a masterpiece in its own right. That’s no surprise considering how as a musician, he continues to stay true and in tune with his own musical vision, all while extending the techniques of the masters who went before him.
Resonator by Cornwall, UK-based Hanetration, a five-piece collection of carefully woven ambient psychedelic electronics and intermittent downtempo, is back after a protracted hiatus.
Katà Métron skillfully develops and reinforces the suggested objective of “living in harmony with oneself and nature,” a powerfully serene soundtrack we should all take notice of, and a surrounding sonic highlight for 2024.
Diskordant is a live, improvisational minimal extrusion from below the surface that ebbs and flows with a sense of aural wonder—its thick textures and tones are the core elements.
There are many things hidden in these low dwelling clouds, complex tiny voices and bits of music with overlays of curved drone-like sustained tones that are overall positive and uplifting.
This combination of hammering pulses, screeching feedback and tight grooves creates a captivating sound that doesn’t work solely because of its intensity, but also because Brandon Invergo shakes things up effectively throughout this release.
We need musicians like Suseti and Henrik Meierkord who take making slow introspective music designed for contemplation an art form, and not just something that can be replicated with a few music apps and some help from soulless AI.
