Experimental Electronic Music
After first encountering Philippe Petit through The Haunting Triptych (2010), The Acoustic Cornet—released by Mahorka as a tribute to Leonora Carrington—emerges as a radical electro-acoustic work of abstract, collage-driven experimentation that fuses manipulated objects, elastic electronics, and avant-garde improvisation into a richly unpredictable sonic experience.
A slow-burning meditation on the inner life of sound, Paper Braids unfolds as a meticulous exploration of space, microtonal nuance, and the fragile poetry of sustained tone.
EP No. 2 is a febrile weave of introspective ambient and diverse electronic elements spawned in Plasma Studio Spain and IRCAM Paris sessions with vibrant forms of deep drone, glitchy percussives and glassine texture deployed in the service of sound world-making at once reflective and unsettling to deliver a resonant narrative inhabiting liminal space between contemporary sound art and immersive cinema.
Indeed over the course of this first for ASIP KILN fire shivering shapes and febrile forms into a timbral trade-off of hi v. lo-fi; a quiet riot of rhythm’n’sound ranging from “DrnkGrlfrnd” with its ‘aquarium-on-fire radiance’ to “Maplefunk Diptych”’s ‘garden groove of field-recorded percussion’ to the ‘sizzling whiteout’ of “Deacon Rayhand.”
Overall, musically, Vikande blå / Nuages occupies a span of the ambient-drone spectrum that should lure in fans from, say, PITP to 12k, with Aiko T’s more minimal experimental sensibility nearer the latter, and Old Amica’s more fulsome space/post-rock leanings the former. A quality package, as you’ll have come to expect from Handstitched*.
All in all, this personal take on the quiet details concept exhibits a deftly turned lower-case sound design prowess that bespeaks years of audio craftsmanship, constituting a compelling entry to a growing catalog.
All in all a composite, convoluted and plural electronic album dedicated to mysterious, suspenseful and uncanny textures.
