Experimental Electronic Music
Much music is steeped in the history of the place where it was made, and here Jonathan Sharp, the musician behind this project, trawls the borderlands of fiction, imagination, and the real places written about in the Plague Dogs where he went to collect sounds for the album.
Burial Grid (Adam Michael Kozak) has long occupied a fascinating space within the darker fringes of experimental electronic music, blending industrial grit, ambient decay, rhythmic abstraction, and noise-driven architecture into something uniquely cinematic and emotionally charged. With NORD Compendium, that vision feels sharpened to its most raw and unforgiving form.
This assemblage travels across broad terrain yet retains cohesion, even with slightly uneven edges, resulting in a record that ultimately mirrors its own namesake.
Across Creature Comforts and Why I Went To The Woods, 400 Lonely Things turns grief, memory, and quiet hope into two deeply human soundworlds that linger long after the final note fades.
With RhaD, Raffaele Pezzella fractures memory and signal into a dense, hallucinatory archive where lost transmissions feel disturbingly alive.
Minimalistic guitar music that works as an easy going soundscape for a minimally distracting background that does not require your absolute attention, but it can also satisfy the need for details and perfect construction.
These six expansive tracks feel suspended in time—meditative and immersive—where reflective dark ambient passages and timeless dronescapes stretch into a surreal echo of the world around us.
Swimming together in the tangential downpour of torrential media percussion and repercussion, all of this material can be considered as an excavation of a lost futurist consciousness.
Even though these tracks were created for different projects, Shards doesn’t feel like a mere compilation. Instead, it plays like a carefully curated journey through Hecker’s brooding, textural world.
Cities Last Broadcast, who is the Swedish expert of paranormal electronics, and Fractalyst, who is the Greek specialist of technical soundscapes, have created an equally disturbing and fascinating album of the finest dark ambient, after death spirits.
Subtle Bodies delivers tape music and looped technics at the finest in terms of emotional transportation and spiritual ravishment. The result is tenderly soothing and the defective almost glitch-esque nature of the fragmented piano sequences add an atmosphere of warmth melancholia and sorrowing nostalgia.
