Experimental Electronic Music
Released by 13/Silentes in a double limited vinyl edition, An Apple a Day You Die Anyway confirms the quality of a catalog that continues to intercept the most sensitive areas of Italian ambient and electronic research. And it confirms that Up To 23, now a trio, possesses a recognizable voice, capable of holding together vision and rigor, emotion and structure, darkness and momentum.
Interims casts a lullaby-like spell—a surreal fracture in time, a quiet refuge from modern noise, and an ambient glow that invites full immersion from beginning to end.
Lo Recordings’ reissue of Susumu Yokota’s Laputa resurrects a long-mythic masterpiece of Japanese electronic music—an uncompromising, genre-dissolving vision that drifts from ambient and electro-acoustic collage to jazz-inflected and ritualistic sound worlds with breathtaking imagination.
Conceived during a month-long Autumn 2024 residency in the Onsen town of Ikaho, Chalybeate distills aus and The Humble Bee’s bath-born installation into a mineral-rich ambient work where listening becomes a bodily immersion, steeped in steam, stone and subterranean drift.
Their Ghosts and Ours unfolds like a sonic séance, weaving field recordings of abandoned spaces with fractured noise, piano, strings, woodwinds, and electronics to summon […]
Yamil Rezc’s Orgrinder is a quietly transformative 40-minute work that reshapes familiar urban sound into a patient, immersive listening experience, rewarding curiosity rather than demanding attention.
An unexpected acoustic turn from an electronic-ambient label, this release reveals a deeply immersive world of microtonal piano, spiritual minimalism, and improvised introspection.
Umor Rex, the Mexico-based label with deep Berlin ties, stands as a beacon of immersive and uncompromising sound art, consistently delivering hypnotic electronic works that blur the line between atmosphere, emotion, and sonic transcendence.
Ten years after its release, Rafael Anton Irisarri’s A Fragile Geography returns not as a relic, but as a living landscape reshaped by some of ambient music’s most visionary artists. A Fragile Geography: Reworks gathers their intimate reinventions into a unified, deeply felt expansion of the original’s emotional terrain.
Monologue Intérieur takes a more intimate, solitary path—rooted in daily life, field recordings, and almost post-Cage-like sparse and fragile piano sequences.
There is a geography of the soul that Rafael Anton Irisarri mapped out in 2015, a cartography drawn with electrified mists, torn soundscapes, and submerged melancholies. A Fragile Geography, his third release on Room40 (see our 2016 review here), spoke at the time with a dark and hushed voice, the echo of an emotionally fractured era. Now, ten years later, the album returns in a newly curated edition by Black Knoll Editions.
