Experimental Electronic Music
Establishing a benchmark for high-definition electronic experimentation, US-based Point Source Electronic Arts explores expansive landscapes steeped in post-industrial terrain, striking a balance between explosive glitch mechanisms and delicate atmospheric textures.
The artists on the roster, each crafting their own fractured soundscapes, represent the state of experimental electronics in a decisive way as the appropriately named imprint actively pursues all types of visual-audio creation—bringing together a wide range of talented musicians.
Each musician displays their own knack for agitated electrical mayhem, some dive into grittier industrial spaces, while others venture into modular fizz-fuzz acrobatics.
Point Source Electronic Arts continue to expand their sonic reach with well-curated compilations displaying a knack for abstract electronics in all of its wonderfully skewed shapes and forms.
It’s all here, triangulated for us mere mortals on Triangulate—an album we didn’t know was absolutely essential for the burgeoning industrial glitch scene.
Lasting close to 70-minutes, this is an extraordinary collection that flexes in experimental appetite, showcasing what I believe to be contemporary IDM at its best.
