Experimental Electronic Music
In July 2024 the seminal Schematic label released the Brooklyn-based artist’s 12-track album called Density of Traction, a complex piece of art, rich in detail and far from following any common music patterns, which Autechre and Gescom lovers should listen to.
This year, Glitchpulse aim to honor the IDMf legacy with a collection of retrospective releases. Spanning five volumes, this collection will highlight some of the best of the IDMf catalog, offering nearly six hours of music. Each volume features a fresh new track from one of their esteemed alumni.
MOSS provides a gripping and thoughtful listen. Mellow, ambient, relaxing and electroacoustic—hopefully there is more to come from the Mumbai, India-based musician.
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.
A quarter of a century on from optimal.lp’s release, then, its timelessness is still palpable, even enhanced, with the reissue’s addition of three tracks made while working on it, plus a new take on the closing “Tank” (digital only): in prepping the reissue, running one of the masters through a customized reverb unit, he began recording the outcome of this haptic past-inside-the-present dialog.
Fans of Richard Devine and Valance Drakes should take note of Dragon’s comprehensive blend of deep sound forms that pierce through the core of our planet.
Surrounded by good friends contributing their own interpretations—including Abdicant, Access To Arasaka, Valance Drakes, Jérôme Chassagnard, Unterm Rad, Asshole Galaxy, Abdicant, Weldroid, Grosso Gadgetto, and Mitoma—”Альбатрос” turns into an avalanche of sonic detritus.
Transporting us back to the early aughts where Toytronic, Art-Tek, Neo Ouija, and Pause_2 labels launched melodic experimental electronic transmissions during the height of IDM; Low Communication glides somewhere between then and now.
These forgotten tracks offer dark, crunchy, and cinematic structures in a mere three piece suite spanning just over five minutes.
