Ultimately, my blurry left eye is saturated with color, and also veers off course with braindance and heavier industrial mechanics (“crash-70557”) that effectively highlights Jon Benderr’s wide sonic reach.
Tag: Braindance
Carpet Soup :: ESDI (Lectric Panda)
Erratic yet unusually serene, offering a glimpse into a kaleidoscope of off-kilter synth sketches, rough IDM underpinnings, and sprinkling mellifluous tones around the margins.
Heogen :: Heogen (Touched Music)
Both Martin Boulton (aka Min-Y-Llan, Touched Music founder) and Jeroen Bax (aka exm) build incredibly surreal audio worlds. As their earlier releases were characterized as a “real demonstration of powerful synergy,” this eponymous release draws a recognizable pulse.
V/A :: Errormatic Vol.4 [The Collective] (Clean Error)
This assemblage being the fourth of the series, cascades without form, veering between the boundaries of experimental sonic media and next-level hyper glitch mechanisms, and is curated within introspective, low-flying IDM/braindance morsels.
Uf0 :: Uf0 (Fourier Transform)
García sculpts his sounds within the frames of acid, braindance and electro with obvious influences from breaks and IDM. What can be surprising is the length of pieces, few running over the four minute mark. Despite their brevity, these are works bursting with emotion and energy.
Nebulo :: Gobelin Stitches (Evel)
Gobelin Stitches only manages to reinforce Nebulo’s strength and capacity to rediscover raw musical ideas and stitch them into hundreds of unique spatial coordinates.
quadratschulz :: Halo Welt EP (Analogical Force)
Even a year later, quadratschulz’s Halo Welt EP from November 2023, which consists of four tracks over 21 minutes, is still a reflective trip through time.
Featherstone :: Pivot (Ernest’s Way)
The A-Side contrasts the flip, beat patterns and samples recalling British machine experimentation with breakbeat and jungle. On the B, techno is the focal point with the Australian musician plumbing hidden depths.
V/A :: Sun Series AE/SS-01 (Adepta Editions)
Predominantly locked in expressive braindance acrobatics, Adepta Editions spawns Sun Series SS-01 on limited edition 12″ white vinyl.
