Keith Fullerton Whitman :: Presque Là (Self Released)
The use of the standard music trifecta of bass, drums, and melody does ground these pieces in the familiar, yet the way Keith Fullerton Whitman has broken these out of their mold means what he is doing is still risky and groundbreaking research.
Michael Trommer :: Spectral Sound System (Panospria / No Type)
Delivering a variety of soundscapes blended in unison, the extended piece exudes ambient, drone, experimental, field recording, and minimal characteristics.
Fluctuosa & VODOR L ZECK :: SEY-1 (Evel)
Combining a variety of complex rhythmic structures, experimental sounds, intricate melodies, and tracks with subdued musical treats, the collaboration between these two talented musicians speaks volumes.
Ümlaut :: Half the Speed of Light (Self Released)
Jeff Düngfelder (also known as Ümlaut) develops a musique concrète resource and minuscule time-capsules to lose yourself within.
Sedibus :: SETI (Orbscure Recordings)
Sedibus — Alex Paterson + fellow ORB original Andy Falconer to release new album; an epic sail through the sky at night.
Simon McCorry :: I the Storm (See Blue Audio)
I the Storm is by Simon McCorry who is well known as a remarkable cellist and sound-sculptor of ambiguous environments. Here are four extended tracks of cello-toned sculptures.
Parallel Worlds :: Fragmented (DiN)
Listening further and more closely, I perceived that Fragmented sounds more contemporary—the music has an industrial edge. The album has a tasteful minimalist quality as does much of Cluster, but it sounds more relentless and more driven in pace.
Illuha :: Tobira (12k)
Explored are captivating synths, modular mazes, and delicately woven experimental and tribal soundscapes set against a vast, open environment. As the record unfolds, eerie drones and microscopic timbres amplify.
Jilk :: Found Little Lost (noci miste)
A delicate time-capsule composed of fragile electronics recommended for fans of B. Fleischmann, Ovuca, ISAN, and múm.
vcam :: Concavity EP (High Grade Media)
Overall, a serene and captivating EP from a granular glitch’n IDM genre bender and highly recommended for fans of exm, Autechre, and Arovane.
