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.

A delicate time-capsule composed of fragile electronics recommended for fans of B. Fleischmann, Ovuca, ISAN, and múm.

Overall, a serene and captivating EP from a granular glitch’n IDM genre bender and highly recommended for fans of exm, Autechre, and Arovane.

Markarian weaves a diverse mix of distinct electrical strands across each of its twelve sections, even while his usage of drones, tones, and buzzing melodic shards veer even more into isolated abstraction.

This is immediately enjoyable, transportive, and atmospheric, showing ingredients of delicate musical sweetness.
