Par Dessus Bord sounds like a well-crafted horror score of a dark and minimal nature. Tracks are less melodic than rhythmic, looped, and electroacoustic.

scav :: The Second (Mahorka)
scav finds solace in peculiarly compelling minimized clicks and cuts where skillfully weaved ambient noises mingle with darker soundtrack elements producing pleasant tones to the core.
Neuro… No Neuro :: minute. EP (Self Released)
Subtle field recordings and granular synthesis spread across these compositions as shimmering elements take hold.
Rafael Toral :: Spectral Evolution (Moikai / Drag City)
This album sees Rafael Toral manipulating various sound sources to create a vast piece that goes through really, really slow chord progressions, but echoes with such wonderful textures and dynamics that it becomes almost transcendental.
vssp :: Over the sun (Kalamine)
As a whole, vssp’s Over the sun has a consistent feel and a steady pace. It is best for meditative moods, for periods of quiet and extended listening. The temporary nature of modern life is connoted throughout.
Felipe Vaz :: Architecture and Distraction (Evel)
Fast beats and non-rhythms flicker and fracture, revealing what appears to be the unpolished insides of the tools employed during the creative process.
Michael Trommer :: Spectral Sound System (Panospria / No Type)
Delivering a variety of soundscapes blended in unison, the extended piece exudes ambient, drone, experimental, field recording, and minimal characteristics.
Ian Boddy :: Modal Operandi (Quiet Details)
Modal Operandi is a fulfilling listen. Tracks bear fruit through melodic complexity and the inclusion of quiet, often minute details that can be more and more readily detected on repeat listens.
Synthetic Ecology 2 :: Finding the edge, some thoughts about ‘experimental music’
Experimental music can mean many things—often tracks are beat-less or off-beat, atonal or noisy, or in some way either more or less dense than other genres. My point is not to establish orthodox genre boundaries.
Celer :: Cursory Asperses (Room40)
It has very spacious music, minimal development, and is best enjoyed on a medium volume level, filling up your space without being too much of a presence.
Demetrio Cecchitelli :: Unity (ROHS!)
Cecchitelli’s style reminds me a bit of Angelo Badalamenti, a chosen soundtrack composer for David Lynch, among others. It is much like his, but with some Leo Kottke added, with a similar style of guitar melodies.
