Experimental Electronic Music
Rontronik’s taste for noisy textures and atmospheric shines on Zero Nine. Although in terms of composition, the album runs smoothly, its production is solid enough to demonstrate a good sense of timbre, and the sound palette he chooses to highlight is astounding.
A brief, if not “vague,” Q&A session with Haarlem, Netherlands-based musician Marc Brinkerink (aka Vaag) intentionally designed to deliver a clear and direct line of communication without unnecessary clutter—except when it comes to his music, of course.
All in all, a shimmering, beautiful, bold, nostalgic and carefully crafted ambient album that will also please fans of classical minimalism (Lou Harrisson, John Luther Adams), Steve Tibbetts’ Northern Song, as well as Appalachian / primitive guitar soundscapes with an experimental and soothing atmospheric tendency.
This EP, which is ultimately calming, contemplative, and spot-on in its sonic approach, is a prelude to an album that we’re pretty excited to hear will (also) be released on Wormhole World in February 2025.
Deep, shimmering, imbued with hope and tranquility, but also a certain darkness of the deep preventing any tilt into New Age excess, it mixes several ambient stylings to sonicize various aquatic states and movements.
Listening to Ghostwoods’ Neon Remixed, out on 4000 Records, is a sweet diversion. Each remix is unique to the others, and each is thoughtfully assembled.
All I can find to explain what is here are endless crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and motivations, a dark noir album filled with harmonic textures and creeping reverbs.
Images Sur La Mer is a two-part soundtrack dronescape that ebbs and flows into surreal textures, tones, and muted abstracts over the course of more than forty sparkling minutes.
What is the difference between abandoned and forsaken? Dark tension, pounding under sustained horror and tension. This goes on forever. We are tourists here, and can go at any time. Peering into the darkness, we linger.
