Arovane :: Polymer (Quiet Details)
Zahn, though, never lets any innovation imperative efface the musicality at the heart of the matter; his compositions lie on a cline between minimalism and sound design in a melodic ambient zone…
Qebo :: Cellular Spaces (Polyend)
That Qebo able to crunch and deform electrical mayhem into digestible and flowing chunks is baffling, and how he’s able to make it sound absolutely beautiful, is a testament to his tried and true sonic methods and commitment.
Aidan Baker :: Tense Surfaces — Remastered (Panospria)
Tense Surfaces is an active departure from the glacial movement of Baker’s earlier work that I am familiar with and is a very delightful surprise.
Alva Noto :: This Stolen Country of Mine (NOTON)
Standalone release of Alva Noto’s score to This Stolen Country of Mine, Marc Wiese’s award-winning film which explores the issue of state sovereignty in the face of predatory foreign power.
Johan Agebjörn :: Subtracted Soundscapes (Spotted Peccary)
This music reflects an enhanced ambient approach to established tracks that once contained more beats, only leaving the key elements of the music, and also working with different combinations of lowpass-filtering, slowing down, adding reverb, and mixing the music differently.
Parallel Worlds :: Applied Maths (Móatún 7)
The ingenuity of Bakis Sirros pervades this album in its entirety—a dark ambient masterpiece that unfolds with continuous soundscapes, allowing for a sublime listening experience.
Coral Sea :: If Memory Serves Me (Spaciousness Series) (Lo Recordings)
Perhaps there is water flowing in a dark cave, it sounds close, and I am checking for any water collecting under my speakers. It feels good in this hot weather, just hearing some gurgling a bit…
Field Lines Cartographer :: Tone Maps (Quiet Details)
A sonic exploration of place and time, past, present and future, via synths and field recordings, Tone Maps is another exhibit in a growing display of prowess in crafting deep evolving compositions.
D-Fried :: Butō [part 1] (Kalamine)
A window to the past; D-Fried captures unusual transmissions in saturated strands where found sounds sizzle, snap, and ping their way through the mist.
V/A :: Touched By Silence (#2) (Touched Music)
Think of all of the most highly regarded compilations of this ilk, and I think you will find fewer with such a rich and diverse selection of artists, coming together to deliver a tour de force of ambient.
