Two seasoned musicians covering upper atmospheric realms offer a reassuring, charming, yet fleeting escape with New Dawn.
Tag: Experimental
Tescon Pol :: The Longer Morrow (Concrete Collage)
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.
John Cage / Aaron Dilloway :: Rozart Mix (Hanson)
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.
bvdub | Brock Van Wey :: In Iron Houses (EC Underground)
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.
Poppy H :: Wadham Lodge (Self Released)
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.
ZeckDBH :: Quartet (zanderhythm)
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
Shahzad Ismaily, Stanford Cheung, Andrea Scala :: ENDROLL EP (Aural Shapes)
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.”
Keiss :: Oblique Minimalista (Pulse State)
Eleven structural layers on Oblique Minimalista bend, twist, drift, and collapse as glitch mechanisms weave through punchy, minimalist grooves.
