Experimental Electronic Music
Modular mayhem maestro Syl Kougaï makes a comeback with his Modular Series • Season-02 and the title of the first four episodes—A Journey into Organic Chaos—is fitting as it seamlessly takes us on a voyage through “reality-warping” soundscapes, industrial tropes, and crumpled electronic trails.
Two seasoned musicians covering upper atmospheric realms offer a reassuring, charming, yet fleeting escape with New Dawn.
The duo’s exceptional ability to create gritty compositions, minuscule glitch shapes, and abstract vocal data streams, all coalesce in The Longer Morrow, a potent auditory collection.
Radio and musique concrète go together like bread and butter. As a medium, radio is the perfect platform for playing tape that has been spliced, diced, smothered, covered, layered, reordered, disordered, composed, decomposed and recomposed. That’s what has happened here with a new version of a mid-sixties John Cage composition, Rozart Mix.
Whether it’s the soulful nature of his vocal samples, or the lush and downtempo beats that give it all a skeleton to cascade off of, or the exquisite synthetic textures throughout, Bvdub has found his vein of gold and continues to mine it without relent.
Snippets from the past carry distinct audio aromas, and varying balances of bitter, sweet and bold, here interfused with new touches. On Wadham Lodge, many moods have been coalesced, balanced and optimized to bring out nuanced sonic flavors.
The duo flex melodic fibers and braindance shards over a wide spectrum with funky beats, synaptic pulses, and fluttering synths. Their capacity to produce squelchy, nearly lifelike shapes is equally susceptible to deformation in the form of elastic vibrations
ENDROLL is an EP that weaves together a landscape of multi-instrument improvisations. The genesis of this album began with the question of whether all music needs a beginning, and instead, to hypothesize on whether music could still retain intention when drawn from a place of “finality.”
