Whatever I may have thought about the interesting structures of the start of this release, I can’t deny there’s a special place in my heart for taking it up a notch and I bet there’s one in yours too.
Tag: Electronica
Ümlaut :: Un Être Humain Ordinaire (Audiobulb)
Sounds puncture space, and things float to the surface. It’s just another ordinary day for being human and listening to music when the smallest detail might make the biggest waves.
Dött Ljus :: Bottna (Slowcraft)
A successful and continuously pleasant album that pushes the senses with its serene atmosphere. Imagine an impossible meeting between Farben, Thomas Brinkmann, Purl, Mind over MIDI, Mike Slott, and Malmö; but also with an avenue to experiment within a handful of bright, flourishing and drifting ideas.
Sciuridae :: \\\Sciuridae/// (Woodland Creatures)
The eponymous Sciuridae release for Woodland Creatures is dotted with crunchy blips and a sparse techno theme that breaks apart into delectable atmospheric chapters.
Vaag :: Vague music
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.
Dreamfish :: 90s Classic Resurfaces
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.
Teleself :: Eternal Game EP (Appendix.files)
A brief, quietly impacting EP with a heartbeat that makes us feel at ease on these chilly winter days.
Carpet Soup :: ESDI (Lectric Panda)
Erratic yet unusually serene, offering a glimpse into a kaleidoscope of off-kilter synth sketches, rough IDM underpinnings, and sprinkling mellifluous tones around the margins.
Tonik Ensemble :: Music Is Mass (Touched Music)
The atmosphere herein simply spills over non-existent—perhaps even floating—boundaries with a surplus of instrumental virtuosity, roughened textures, and vaporous brittle tones that time shift and alter before our own eyes.
V/A :: Wave Function (Ground State)
Ground State announces surprise compilation to celebrate Igloo Magazine and support the Electronic Music Community. (Press Release)
Heogen :: Heogen (Touched Music)
Both Martin Boulton (aka Min-Y-Llan, Touched Music founder) and Jeroen Bax (aka exm) build incredibly surreal audio worlds. As their earlier releases were characterized as a “real demonstration of powerful synergy,” this eponymous release draws a recognizable pulse.
