Experimental Electronic Music
Even as the music voyages across the celestial empyrean of space, he opens up new territory, diving downwards into the underworld where the mysteries of Orpheus (poet, musician, prophet) are encountered in their cavernous depths. Here the Orphic lyre is a synthesizer. Here it is a collection of psychotronic modules who route electricity to the point where it tingles with lucid scintillation. This is a third ear music awakening the inner senses to subtle vibrations.
From bubbling synths to irresistible basslines, Teleportations makes every stop on its cosmic journey worth visiting.
The Seven Planes of Dreams draws from a lot of different sources, such as the esoteric idea of five levels of consciousness, the scientific view of different phases of sleep, elements of our daily lives mingling with messages from our subconscious mind and with impressions received from books, or movies, from pictures and also other music.
“The DiN ambient label was set up by Ian Boddy in 1999 to release ambient electronica that bridged the gap between the analogue sound of the early 70’s synth pioneers and the digital soundscapes of the more experimental modern exponents of electronic music.” Now celebrating their 25th Anniversary with a colossal 20 track compilation (CD/Digital), Ian Boddy discusses the label and its history with Philippe Blache.
With versality, skills, and a delectable sense of transcendental escapism, every musical contribution brings tone textures, patterns, timbral experimentations, harmonic progressions, and processed sound motifs to ravish your ears.
The modular maven channels something of an early TD sound-feel via post-Kosmische textures, motifs, and rhythms; new projections in the head cinema, strangely familiar, yet otherworldly.
Cathode Ray Tube keeps up his regular aural explorations and characterizes his most recent work as dark ambient / Deutsche kosmiche, but he also explores a world in which certain audibles have form and others remain formless.
Perhaps a magnum opus, this aptly titled EP delivers highly saturated synthesizer electronica and kaleidoscope harmonies capturing the spirit of the past while etching a futuristic sonic pathway.
The ambient pieces in particular have a genuinely filmic essence. Epic proportions are scaled by some very minimalist productions.
This is quite a strong record, with a natural and well-executed arc, diverse sounds and a lot of density. θέρος clocks in at 44 minutes […]
In his latest release entitled Σociend, Greek composer Onepointwo delivers a long and sustained synthesizer-laden odyssey that will no doubt please audiences looking for a modern take on kosmiche music.
