Experimental Electronic Music
Tom Hall presents Trip Computer album launch—a powerful new audiovisual performance marking two decades of exploration in experimental sound, systems, and synthesis. Featuring special guests r beny, Testu Collective, Amma Ateria, and Sharkiface, this event brought together boundary-pushing artists for an immersive night of sonic and visual experimentation.
Ludovico Franco’s Open Field (Rohs! Record) is a seven-part ambient work blending field recordings, improvisation, and electronics. Inspired by James Tenney, it was recorded outdoors with musicians and audience sharing the space. The result is a series of immersive soundscapes that feel more like living environments than compositions.
Hasbeen’s HAVOC INTVL, released with Clean Error in July 2025, dives into glitchy braindance with shimmering bleeps and fragmented pulses. Each track unfolds as a distinct, cryptic phase, blending mechanized dissonance and delicate melodies into a cohesive, abstract sonic journey.
Caldon Glover emerges as a striking voice in the modern dark ambient scene, crafting immersive soundscapes that blur the line between the cinematic and the surreal. With releases on renowned labels like Cyclic Law and Cryo Chamber, his work delves into the depths of post-apocalyptic atmosphere, ritualistic drones, and industrial textures, marking him as a standout figure in the genre’s new wave.
After the success of Séptimo Sentido in 2024, I was eager to hear what Seph would deliver next. His latest release, Fiera, arrived sooner than expected—but rather than presenting a new creative direction, it offers a glimpse into earlier material from his vault. Naturally, I was curious to see how this project would compare.
Erratic and unsettling yet undeniably gripping, this set builds upon warped foundations of industrial dub, mutated jungle, and disfigured hip-hop structures. It’s an excavation—reaching backward while marching toward a future of controlled chaos and sculpted dissonance.
Twenty five tracks of 2024; math was never a strong point, more artsy here. Unceremoniously punctuated by inane chat and blurry recollections, this is a super special collection and one to warm the heart during our new age of tariffs and tone deaf tantrums.
Johnny McDowell’s cable.percussion delivers a vivid array of sculpted breakbeats and weathered braindance textures on Bleach, a six-track collection where glitch flickers at the periphery and emotional resonance surfaces from the very first moments.
While modest in duration, these pieces are densely packed with intricately programmed electro, broken rhythms, braindance flourishes, and warped modular sequences that shift shape as quickly as they emerge.
ø is a formidable collection—unyielding and magnetic. Its unraveling of fierce electronics and warped rhythmic intent cements it as one of 2025’s most unforgettable releases. Stark. Brilliant. Relentless.
On Friday July 18th, I had the chance to see Kraftwerk live in Lajatico, Tuscany—a rare Italian stop on their European tour, and one of the most surreal concert settings imaginable. Performed at Andrea Bocelli’s hilltop Teatro del Silenzio, the show blended stunning visuals, razor-sharp sound, and decades of electronic music legacy into an unforgettable night.
