Michael Valentine West :: comp/COMP (uvg212)
You might even draw parallels to the early works of Mouse On Mars, Autechre (“Gantz Graf” era), or even Richard Devine’s industrial-leaning sandblasted synthesizer techniques.
Synthetic Ecology 2 :: Finding the edge, some thoughts about ‘experimental music’
Experimental music can mean many things—often tracks are beat-less or off-beat, atonal or noisy, or in some way either more or less dense than other genres. My point is not to establish orthodox genre boundaries.
exm :: fjirtich (Self Released)
It’s almost as if these soundscapes are about to collapse; microscopic rhythms vanish and a skeletal outline is all that remains in its final minutes.
Meat Beat Manifesto & Merzbow :: Extinct (Cold Spring)
This is not a collaboration you thought could happen or would happen. Extinct reminded me a bit of the more noisy performances at the legendary Maschinenfest festivals I’ve attended over the years. Like pre-Hands ORPHX or early Synapscape. Become reacquainted with some beautiful music / rhythmic noise.
Thedi :: Live at FSK-HH (Adventurous Music)
Especially notable are occasional bursts of crisp, digital static. I enjoyed imagining that the performance was a kind of industrial construction itself—as though I was hearing music while looking at its naked guts.
Aelk Minsur :: A EP (Self Released)
Aelk Minsur keeps vanishing into the most remote reaches of space with a surrounding thick fog, leading us into uncharted and intriguing passageways. Incredibly bizarre and worth the trip.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Parity Town EP (Condition Human)
Industrial and synthetic terrain nevertheless harbors a wide variety of severely saturated beats, noise, and bizarre soundscapes.
Meat Beat Manifesto & Merzbow :: Extinct (Cold Spring)
Extinct sees the duo take listeners on a transcendental journey, focusing on the dismantling of beat and structure and recycling the result through layers of beautifully crafted noise and feedback loops, giving birth to new rhythms buried deep in the dirt.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Infrastrictura EP (Condition:Human)
A whirling patchwork of disconnected sound sources and blips that nevertheless work well together.
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.
