Boy Is Fiction extends both ends of the sonic spectrum: going deeper into complex, cinematic sound design for ambient passages and cranking up the intricacy of his glitchy, multilayered beats.
Tag: Cinematic
Drifting In Silence & Tineidae :: Simulation (Labile)
This calmly floating and sentient spacious journey explores the boundary between the intangible and the earthly components.
2methyl :: The Breach (Self Released)
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.
Zero Ohms :: Cloudwalker & the Ascent (Spotted Peccary)
Taking advantage of interrupted sleep patterns, many of the tracks on Cloudwalker & the Ascent were laid down in the hour just before dawn, their inspiration distilled from dreams, often with the Moon & Venus smiling through the open backdoor of his cabin.
V/A :: Healing Together: A Compilation For Mental Health Recovery (Past Inside the Present)
Delicate by nature and transformative throughout—this album in its entirety massages thoughts and creates free space for imagination to gracefully calm.
David Helpling :: IN (Spotted Peccary)
The magic of these solar colors appear little by little and then in great bounding leaps, with amethyst, emerald and sapphire shades emerging as we soar above the realms of the sea.
Defrag :: Float (Hymen)
This is music for detailed home listening, but also would be a joy to take in at a live show in a small club or larger festival stage. We miss you Maschinenfest!
V/A :: Sounds from the Iranian Ultraverse (Shaytoon)
A fantastic release that has highlighted to me the importance of exploring unfamiliar territories as you may just never know what you are missing out on.
Jeff Greinke :: Noctilucent (Spotted Peccary)
Greinke’s unique approach on his ambient work is to heavily layer, multitrack, and texture soundscapes, using the studio as an instrument.
