Experimental Electronic Music
Deep space. One of the larger shapes out there is murmuring, it is really huge. Now it becomes a choir, a choir of large shapes so many millions of miles away but right out there just above where we are now, murmuring sometimes, calling sometimes, very slow.
As we drift downstream, the bliss only continues, and makes it harder to fathom how such a coherent and beautifully flowing album can come along and feel like an old friend from the first listen.
Dense, rhythmic arrangements and atonal synth pieces collide on Updraft culminating a radically unique listening experience; which if heard in the correct headspace, could potentially alter one’s entire perception of reality.
Cyd encompasses a wide-ranging musical style that ebbs and flows into abstract and delicate forms to more abrupt bass-infused IDM morsels.
Sliced, diced and often flickering musical fragments almost coalesce in a stream of data flows only to be sideswiped by constantly shifting pitter-patter beats and shuffling ambient patterns that seem invisible.
What I like are the mixing of layers with distinctly foreshadowed build-up and release, I feel a state of hypnotism and heightened consciousness. The tracks are quite lengthy to allow for a mid-song climax followed by a soft breakdown…
Sounding simultaneously natural and digital, Lazarev has expertly blended field recordings and atmospheres with his warm, synthesized compositions resulting in the feeling of one, fluid, organic whole rather than separate elements and layers fighting for space.
A sonic couplet that counterbalance each other from erratic breaks and up-tempo percussion to downtrodden bliss to close it out.
It’s really great to see and hear Touched Music giving some of these artists another new home, and whilst it’s part of a ten year anniversary and bringing back feelings and artists I had love for more 20 years ago when I was first discovering them.
A circle begins and ultimately returns to the start, and you have gained all of the experience of the textures, and silence, sparking a spiritual awakening into the power of sound of the journey around the forms.
As William Fields’ catalog expands, we’ve seen a maturation over the years, and with Fictions, the artist steps into tangled glitch trenches unfettered.
