Experimental Electronic Music
Seabuckthorn, the project of guitarist and sound artist Andy Cartwright, crafts an evocative blend of ambient, electro-acoustic, and semi-classical textures on A Path Within A Path, released by Laaps. The album unfolds like an avant-garde chamber work, rich with spiritual depth, intricate guitar work, and collaborations that expand its introspective, transportive soundscape.
Bernhard Living’s Unanswered Questions continues his tradition of sparse, minimalist electronic compositions inspired by 20th-century composers—this time focusing on the conceptual and structural ideas behind works by Charles Ives. Each of the four tracks offers a thoughtful reinterpretation, distilling Ives’ complexity into ambient soundscapes that blend philosophical depth with musical restraint.
Intelligent Life is a quietly immersive collaboration between Jeff Düngfelder, Mike Brown, and Joshua Trinidad that merges downtempo electronics with jazz-influenced instrumentation. With trumpet, contrabass, and ambient textures woven into a meditative whole, the album invites deep listening and emotional stillness.
Everyday Dust returns with Shrouded III, a fever dream of decayed synths, eerie textures, and hallucinatory soundscapes that blur the line between madness and revelation. Paired with the wild remix project Mossed in Translation, these releases plunge deeper into the project’s haunted world—unsettling, immersive, and impossible to ignore.
Undertones doesn’t merely explore disorder; it thrives in it—spinning volatile frequencies into an oddly meditative turbulence, where musique concrète meets instinctive structure, and where noise becomes a living, breathing force.
Sedonis is a searing new release from noise icon Merzbow and Chicago’s Signal In Noise label, blending his signature chaos—overdriven electronics, handmade instruments, and relentless textures—with the label’s sharp visual identity. At nearly 70, Merzbow remains uncompromising, delivering an immersive, punishing sonic experience that continues to push the boundaries of sound.
Glass Colored Lilly by Yuki Fujiwara is a unique blend of traditional Japanese flute, jazz improvisation, and Pan-African rhythms. Produced by Bill Laswell, the album creates immersive, cross-cultural soundscapes that invite deep listening and reflection.
By operating outside of the playlist protocol, Big Blood have once again given us something that goes beyond the test of temporary style. This is music for deep listening in the deep time of Deep Maine, and it shall abide.
Fans of free improvisation, intuitive music, and the European tradition of avant art music will find much to enjoy on this endlessly twisting abstract headscratcher. It is like a puzzle that can only be solved when I stop trying.
Reverie is a tour of unadorned castles in the air, playful and strange vocals, music inspiring pleasant dream-like thoughts, expressed with wordless musical vocalisms, fluid speech-like syllables that might lack any readily comprehensible meaning, an extravagant conceit of the imagination, a lost sense of dreaming while awake. There is an extraordinary array of great talent here.
At its core, Closing Our Eyes is an acoustic transformation through electronics—organic sound is deconstructed, reshaped, and reanimated into something beautifully unclassifiable.
