Black Shapes’ ZEROFOUR delivers four uncompromising transmissions of Millsian techno, smoked-out acid and analogue futurism, where relentless pressure, machine-driven psychedelia and late-night propulsion do all the talking.
Tag: Noise
Ignatius :: Noxi Melank (Evel)
Rather than resolving its strange machinery, Noxi Melank leaves it in motion—a collection of damaged systems, unstable rhythms, and modular forms continually finding new ways to become something else.
Marco Simioni :: wave_function (Evel)
wave_function ultimately displays an artist working in top form, mapping out a series of experimental electronic terrains that converge into something uniformly disjointed, immersive, and quietly mind-bending.
Anushka Chkheidze + Robert Lippok :: The Sky Was Out of Tune (Morr Music)
Natural recordings, soft rhythms, distortion, metallic noises, melody, and digital artifacts continually lean against one another without settling. By the end it feels less like eight compositions and more like half an hour spent inside a system that was continuously adjusting itself while you were listening, and never quite finished.
Fallen :: Stars are Crashing, Homes are Burning… (Touched Music)
Bracaloni’s latest traverse moves through warm, spacious soundscapes built for getting lost within, where atmosphere lingers long after each piece fades.
SUAHN :: Distort Everything Forever (Self Released)
Distort Everything Forever opens in ambience, spends most of its middle throwing rhythmic and low frequency chaos at you, then returns toward atmosphere at the end.
Ervin Omsk :: Der Saal tobt (Orange Milk)
Multiple active listens never feel like a chore, and are instantly rewarded by the lavishness of the sounds and the cleverness of the compositions, bringing together awe, humor, and bewilderment. And what else can we ask of experimental music?
Lost Myths :: Lost Myths vol. VII (Lotophagus)
All in all, an emotionally intoxicating, bizarre yet alluring ghostly-ambient trip, augmented by dark clouds of noisy elements.
survey channel :: Macrozones EP (Self Released)
Macrozones ultimately feels like a succinct collection of lost time capsules, each one preserving a slightly different shade of distant sound, blurred memory, and quiet unease. A sonic pallet worth every minute of our time.
Chit Chat with Ben Stokes of Dimensional Holofonic Sound
A veteran of groundbreaking music-video and visual collaborations, Ben Stokes puts his most personal stamp on Dimensional Holophonic Sound (DHS), his singular project blending acid electronics, old-school analog imagery, and experimental video production. Simultaneously, Stokes has built a distinctive career at the intersection of sound, art, technology, and visuals.
Five questions with Somewherecold Records
From its roots as a music blog to a fiercely independent label built around physical releases, Somewherecold Records has grown from Jason Lamoreaux’s love of experimental music into a deeply personal effort to give artists and their work something lasting to hold onto.
