Experimental Electronic Music
Across the fourteen tracks, CRACKS rejects reducing human suffering to mere political rhetoric or grandiose powerplay spectacles. Instead, the musical and tonal dissonance and innate musical human tenderness become a language of resistance, demonstrating how experimental music such as here can bear witness to the ills of vulnerable people’s once seen as commodities.
Spencer Clark’s Typhonian Highlife project transforms dreams, occult lore, extraterrestrial encounters, and experimental electronics into otherworldly soundscapes that blur the boundaries between music, mythology, and the hidden dimensions of imagination.
Jordan Schmelzer’s debut as Dead Edit, Signal Loss, plunges deep into the industrial undercurrents of IDM, where fractured rhythms, mechanical weight, and ambient collage converge in a dense assemblage of broken beats and digital decay.
Strange storytelling, field recordings dusted in gray, gentle melancholy strings, and tribal electronic rhythms, meet stuttering voices and spell casting as sing-songing in a realm of wondrous enchantment.
Guitar serves as a central thread throughout They Shall Bring Death Upon Us, reinforcing its industrial-rock foundation without overshadowing the electronics. Instead, it cuts through the mix as a defining presence, driven by distortion, rhythmic decay, and patterns that accumulate weight as they unfold.
Chris Herbert’s Grisaille is a haunting journey through grainy ambient textures, fractured memories and shadowy soundscapes where beauty emerges from the dust of decaying dreams.
In WATERSHED, Markus Mehr transforms recordings from the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine into an unsettling meditation on war, distance, and the responsibility of listening when looking away is always an option.
Bound To Substance explores the negative psychological effects of self-isolation, mental deprivation, and existential loneliness, as well as feelings of estrangement and parapsychic projections.
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.
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.
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.
