Experimental Electronic Music
Expanding rather than merging the recognized individual styles of each, Fictions results in a chronostatic set of pieces with error honored as a hidden intention (see Eno’s Oblique Strategies) via analog processes, while holding to melodic virtues and economy of means.
Melodic gestures emerge from drone surrounds—ground to figure, dissolving into field—drawing you in from perception’s margins, receding just as they seem to have settled.
Norway-based producer/musician Karl Endreson’s downtempo electronic project has been active since 2006, purveying nature-inspired soundscapes mixing ambient textures and trip-hop beats with guitar and field recordings, steeped in atmosphere infused with a deep sense of melody and nostalgia.
a sonic locomotive that gathers speed while piercing through dense fog in the mid of night—showcasing a powerful set of moody abstracts and massive reverberation.
Combining forces on a laptop and hardware synth studio, Requator makes the good times flow endlessly.
Warmly recommended for lovers of lysergic icy ambient beauty with a deep pulsating edge and a terrifying, disorientating cosmic/dystopian sensibility, to be placed next to releases by Vladislav Delay, Monolake, The Orb, and Kangding Ray.
The music of Chronotope Project explores this time-space confluence and invites the listener on ambient journeys of deep texture infused with gentle pulsing rhythms and soulful melodies.
Blending darker shades with lighter sonic hues, and providing all the right amounts of crunchy IDM flutter we would typically expect from these sound sculptors.
Imagine an enjoyment beyond your understanding; that’s what makes us curious about art. In that way, this record by Sunwarper (aka Los Angeles-based Michael Jakucs) makes me curious.
The sound artist slightly abandons the downbeat and avid IDM tendency of his musical textures to embellish his style of eerily fixated droning motifs and densely layered patterns.
Fully encapsulating a narrative whilst traversing through courageous dark melodics that gesticulate otherworldly transmissions broadcasting from a corner that time forgot.
