Experimental Electronic Music
Establishing a benchmark for high-definition electronic experimentation, US-based Point Source Electronic Arts explores expansive landscapes steeped in post-industrial terrain, striking a balance between explosive glitch mechanisms and delicate atmospheric textures.
The artists on the roster, each crafting their own fractured soundscapes, represent the state of experimental electronics in a decisive way as the appropriately named imprint actively pursues all types of visual-audio creation—bringing together a wide range of talented musicians.
Renegade Android continues to unroll the goods with seven tracks that slice and dice through a multitude of explosive old-school gaming-infused electronics.
Each musician displays their own knack for agitated electrical mayhem, some dive into grittier industrial spaces, while others venture into modular fizz-fuzz acrobatics.
It’s all here, triangulated for us mere mortals on Triangulate—an album we didn’t know was absolutely essential for the burgeoning industrial glitch scene.
Lasting close to 70-minutes, this is an extraordinary collection that flexes in experimental appetite, showcasing what I believe to be contemporary IDM at its best.
There is enough momentum to send you off balance, but just like a swinging metronome dumped in the burning car tyre piles of this world, always finds it centre just at the right moments.
