Tag: Electroacoustic
opera23 :: Teatro Armónico (Wic)
Across eight tracks, Germano channels a stunning miasma of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, art-house aesthetics, and installation-worthy musical spaces.
Orange Crush :: Eidolons (SUNSEΛSKY)
Norway-based producer/musician Karl Endreson’s downtempo electronic project has been active since 2006, purveying nature-inspired soundscapes mixing ambient textures and trip-hop beats with guitar and field recordings, steeped in atmosphere infused with a deep sense of melody and nostalgia.
Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell :: Romantic, Visceral (Mahorka)
Romantic, Visceral is highly recommended for those who enjoy challenging music with semi-classical overtones and chilling stylistic pathways dominated by energetic electronic textures. Without neglecting its own originality and trippy, chameleon-like strength, this album stands as the missing link between Brendan Moeller, Burial, and Michel Portal.
Abul Mogard / Rafael Anton Irisarri :: Where Light Pauses In The Silence Of The Sun (Black Knoll Editions)
Mogard and Irisarri sign a compact, intense work, capable of giving sonic matter an almost moral dimension, a request for attention toward the deep time of listening. The album advances like a great dark current crossed by inner gleams, and delivers music that seems shaped through slow fire, patience, rigor, vision. Where Light Pauses In The Silence Of The Sun is one of the highest proofs of their creative alliance, a work in which density becomes light and light, at last, acquires weight.
BedouinDrone + Brainquake :: Mood Starters (Mahorka)
(Mood Starters) is a dark, hypnotic, and eerie techno-ish industrial album surrounded by dystopian themes of a humanity trapped in an uncertain future, standing before unspeakable malefic forces.
Build Buildings x Molly Gochman :: Continuum (Unending Loop)
A peaceful, singular, and cozy post-ambient journey made of lush sounds, with some chilling moments based on fragmented memories, that will ravish listeners of digitalized tape music and carefully crafted, slowly moving soundscapes.
Netherworld :: The Hermit (Glacial Movements)
Following chilling mysteries emerging from Arctic expeditions and unveiling the metaphysical strength captured in ice-cold landscapes, the droning sound art project Netherworld (alias Alessandro Tedeschi, founder of Glacial Movements Records) is back to the forefront.
anthéne :: Air Signs (Dronarivm)
Air Signs rests at its distinct sound. Everything is pieced together very well, and all the noises, melodies, and synths are family—they all align track after track. Deschamps has a gift for cohesion. Even when he’s working with degraded loops, reversed recordings, and heavily processed guitar, nothing feels fragmented. Everything belongs.
Jim O’Rourke & Jos Smolders :: Albumin (Moving Furniture)
Albumin is limited to 500 copies on vinyl through Moving Furniture Records, and it’s exactly the kind of release that rewards deep, focused listening. Put it on, turn it up, and let the textures do the work.
Tewksbury :: rust/wave (Imaginary North)
rust/wave, his latest, takes a different approach. The Hamilton, Ontario-based artist has compiled a beautiful piece of ambient work, and rather than introducing itself as some ambient drone or sounding like that, it’s actually really melodic and beautiful. A peaceful listen.
