FeLid :: Magic Hour (ato.archives)

Magic Hour is both accessible and deeply experimental with its mutant ambient approach. The sonic palette employs clicks and clacks, echoes, mechanical whirs, lost terrestrial train whistles, melodic forms, shattering forms, and human murmurs, sometimes slowing or speeding up local fields to gain an emotional edge.

Robert Thurman :: Cicadas: Broods XIX and XIII (Self Released)

Cicadas does a beautiful job using an experimental musical lens to help focus our attention on an often overlooked yet fascinating creature who lives in a world completely different from ours, yet that is also exactly the same (a beautiful expression of German phenom​enological biologist Jakob von Uexküll’s concept of the Umwelt or life-world that is specific to the sensory perceptions of each kind of animal).

FAX :: Escala (DISQ AN)

A delicate undertaking masterfully formed. It rewards any patience with a desire for repeated listening that reveals innate deeper layers of finer detail and craft. With its fractured yet entirely cohesive palette, FAX has crafted a work that is mature, cerebral, and quietly extra-ordinary.
