With a brief look at some notables along the road, Chang Terhune’s Music Mondays aims to shed light on both new and old(er) music over a wide spectrum of sound (and vision). This week, David Sylvian.
Tag: Experimental
exm :: fjirtich (Self Released)
It’s almost as if these soundscapes are about to collapse; microscopic rhythms vanish and a skeletal outline is all that remains in its final minutes.
Poborsk :: Theta Cadence (Kaer’Uiks)
Dark electrical passageways never overstay their welcome, guiding us through deserted corridors that beg you to investigate further.
Sedatic :: Rhea (People Can Listen)
The ten featured tracks contain such a potent barrage of gritty electrical manifests that it’s hard to focus on any one tune without also associating with its neighboring siblings.
Demetrio Cecchitelli :: Unity (ROHS!)
Cecchitelli’s style reminds me a bit of Angelo Badalamenti, a chosen soundtrack composer for David Lynch, among others. It is much like his, but with some Leo Kottke added, with a similar style of guitar melodies.
Fluctuosa & VODOR L ZECK :: SEY-1 (Evel)
Combining a variety of complex rhythmic structures, experimental sounds, intricate melodies, and tracks with subdued musical treats, the collaboration between these two talented musicians speaks volumes.
sín.us :: vernal.dk (Móatún 7)
On these dozen tracks, all manner of instrumental electronics and blissful soundtrack motifs wisp by effortlessly.
mōshonsensu :: Even Keel (Touched Music)
The ten tracks on Even Keel, which was published in August 2023, flex and sputter with a somber electronica intensity that skillfully projects early Warp, Rednetic, Toytronic, and Neo Ouija labels’ output.
Ümlaut :: Half the Speed of Light (Self Released)
Jeff Düngfelder (also known as Ümlaut) develops a musique concrète resource and minuscule time-capsules to lose yourself within.
Alex Jann :: Cold Light Wave EP (brokntoys)
A well-oiled and tightly packed release to kick off 2024 as we keep our ears peeled for more in what could very well be its own genre titled “cold light wave.”
Tarsiform :: Mechanically Reclaimed Pickings (Pingdiscs)
On these jagged aural experiments, scorched percussive rhythms, tangled vocal samples, and braindance components combine and burst leaving us to believe that Tarsiform is an unusual yet creative force to seriously pay attention to.
