Experimental Electronic Music
Where minuscule errors loop, dither, and fade, these precious slices, while seemingly arcane, tend to explore organic worlds; their blissful bristles and tangible electrical machinery merge with expansive and detuned instruments that we can’t quite pin down.
The listener is able to immediately let go and shed the day’s dealings and walk into the tall grass with their hands at their side brushing the tops, feeling the breeze, and taking a deep breath. Consider thyself healed.
Such a powerful yet minimalist album, f5point6 successfully traverses the smallest glitch fractures across each of its dozen tracks presented here…
The raw energy and dynamism of modern technology simply becomes tangible as each audible slice explores the farthest reaches of sandblasted electronics.
What I like best about this album is that the stories told are all about texture and emotion, sometimes dark and powerful, sometimes delicate yet commanding…
…helping the listener to disconnect from the constant noise in modern life and take solace in the space between—especially with both tracks coming in at over 30 minutes.
Reminding us of earlier times when artists like Arovane, Phonem, Lackluster (et al) crafted delicately woven and fresh electronics, Retic traverses familiar sonic terrain.
Minuscule tones and drones float effortlessly as each piece (over 10 minutes) emits an aura that transcends time; easing the listener carefully into its calming nature.
Electro and techno are at the EP’s heart, yet there are also flourishes of electronica embedded alongside the use of voice.
The Burning Century gathers and distills, shifts and rattles, yet somehow manages to seep into the subconscious.
You recognize things, and sometimes you don’t; the same thing one has with the real and the virtual. Quiet and pleasant music, perfect pass time music, the soundtrack for modern living.
