Experimental Electronic Music
The nostalgia embedded within Nothing Under Heaven is particularly striking. It is not tied to any singular past, nor does it lean on sentimentality. Instead, it manifests as a kind of emotional afterimage. A sense of having felt something deeply without being able to fully recall its shape. This gives the music a haunting familiarity, as though it is reflecting something the listener already carries but has not yet named.
Grounded in an innate sense of utter realness, Not That Special communicates through suggestion and imagined triggers, illuminating the edges of the present moment. It leaves a subtle but lasting impression—an ambient salve for the harms of modern urban acceleration, and a work that lingers long after its final note.
Alan Myson’s carved out his own corner, one where rhythm is secondary to texture, and where live instrumentation gets processed into something unrecognizable but still visceral. This is music that feels carved and three-dimensional, like the press notes say, but it’s also restless and uncomfortable in a way that keeps you engaged. It’s not an easy listen, but it’s a rewarding one.
Once voiced by Mason, water becomes both storyteller and observer—flowing through calm, chaos, evaporation, and return. Around this, A-Sun Amissa builds a rich soundscape using drone, classical instruments, processed guitars, synthesizers, and subtle samples.
Thresholds is an album that stays with you. It subtly alters the way you listen. It opens a door into a liminal space where sound becomes memory, and memory becomes atmosphere. In doing so, Andrew Anderson has created a work that is both deeply personal and universally evocative, a rare and rewarding listening experience.
The Sound of Dreams is everything I like about anthologies, a collection of very diverse personalities and idiosyncrasies expressing themselves in short performances, with plenty of guitars, strange but empathetic vocals (especially the chanting) and most of all, the sounds of birds and bugs.
Euan grew up in a mostly quiet, non-musical household where records were scarce and music lived mainly in car rides soundtracked by Fleetwood Mac and Whitney Houston—until a childhood Walkman and Lionel Richie cassette sparked a lifelong, deeply personal connection to sound.
This new project follows a stylistic inclination inspired by primordial resonances and natural manifestations from peripheral zones deserted by humanity.
Released by 13/Silentes in a double limited vinyl edition, An Apple a Day You Die Anyway confirms the quality of a catalog that continues to intercept the most sensitive areas of Italian ambient and electronic research. And it confirms that Up To 23, now a trio, possesses a recognizable voice, capable of holding together vision and rigor, emotion and structure, darkness and momentum.
In Retrospect possesses a strength that exceeds the format of the celebratory compilation. It is a work of reordering and, at the same time, of renewal, a point of concentration from which the music of f5point6 emerges clearer, more self aware, more profound.
In Ūmlaut’s seasoned hands, silence is not an emptiness that is barren. It is viscerally alive, and here it is speaking — patiently shaping the emotional architecture of a commitment to our listening.
