Consequently, we are immersed in slow-moving textured ambiances punctuated by aleatoric piano motifs and diverse sources of manipulation. In itself, the music tends to be conceptual and cerebral but beautifully enveloped by absorbing sentient waves.

H-M O :: The Lamenting Window EP (Labile)
Subtly-placed whispered melodies somehow enter our subconscious and the tone of the EP intensifies as it gets closer to our soul.
Taylor Deupree :: Sti.ll (Nettwerk / 12k / Greyfade)
Sti.ll is overall smoother and more pleasant, which is really fitting for the intimate and subtle sentiment of the original LP, making it a re-listen that fans of the original should not miss out on.
shimura :: Room Two (Polygon Network)
A variety of abstract electronic genres are explored in shimura’s Room Two, which blends breakbeat, ambient, IDM, drone, and complex beat patterns into a well-balanced, harmonious feast.
Anthené :: Stray Light (Floralia)
Anthené never ceases to please our meditative capacity of listening and Stray Light is highly recommended for those who like gauzy shoegazing excursions and warm tonal drones.
Focal Point :: Manufactured Superstition / Statecraft (The Collection Artaud)
Focal Point drafts a clear-cut yet sophisticated sonic statement by combining throbbing yet subtly nuanced bass with gloomy ambient and downtempo timbres. Absolutely riveting.
Cathode Ray Tube :: The Oryx At Night EP (Condition Human)
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.
Galati :: Cold As a February Sky (Glacial Movements)
A representative and well-crafted album of modern day ambient synthedelica with everything you may like regarding textured lush atmospheres which invite to explore the great unknown while being immersed in natural primordial stillness.
Bernhard Living :: The Nature of Things (Self Released)
While their core ideas are always there, minimal variations make these pieces work, as they’re not just loops going on for 25 minutes straight; there’s so few minimal details that it’s worth pointing them out individually instead of providing examples.
Richard Chartier :: On Leaving (Touch)
On Leaving contains a set of vintage variances, soothing drone tracks that are in ways abstract yet deceptively organic in nature. Minimal composition together with low pitches and recursive sets of sound contribute to this soothing effect.
Dave Seidel :: Homage to Hennix (The Electric Harpsichord reinterpreted) (Self Released)
It is good to hear another contribution to the genre from Dave Seidel, whose homage is a masterpiece in its own right. That’s no surprise considering how as a musician, he continues to stay true and in tune with his own musical vision, all while extending the techniques of the masters who went before him.
