Less than a year after TON, a two-hour-and-a-half glitch mammoth that made it into Igloo’s Best of 2024 round-up, Özcan Saraç is back on Evel with Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response—and if TON already seemed daunting for its lengths and experimentation, Saraç’s seventh album ups the ante, clocking over 330 minutes divided into twenty-five movements.

Igloo Magazine :: Best of 2024
Highlighting hundreds of releases in 2024 (and allowing December to set in), we’ve compiled a list of our favorites along with links to their corresponding Igloo reviews and release pages. Since the lists are arranged alphabetically by artist—and a snapshot of tracks are featured in our Soundcloud playlist along with selected Bandcamp tracks and random artwork selections—there are, as usual, no winners or runners-up.
Özcan Saraç :: TON (Evel)
The thirteen pieces, broken, infected, and deformed from every viewpoint, exude off-center rhythms and fragmented beats in an unabridged collection that seems to have no beginning or end.
Özcan Saraç :: 0:1 (時の崖_tokinogake)
The ultra-processed machinery remains in constant rotation, never really taking a breather, as each chapter channels industrial-glitch acrobatics and tangled signals for as far as the eye can see.
Özcan Saraç :: OPUS H04S CELL (Kaer’Uiks)
Operating at over 100 MPH, Özcan Saraç delivers claustrophobic electronic mayhem that zigzags with deconstructed non-rhythms and massive slabs of noise that are a workout on the ears.
Özcan Saraç :: Copnvvvs (Kaer’Uiks)
Özcan Saraç creates fields of research using information processing and structures, with the purpose of questioning the human being’s relation to the universal system, logic and political mechanisms.
