Experimental Electronic Music
This new collaborative release announces a nicely made musical syncretism between various aesthetics and stylistic approaches. Experimental attempts exist, but these are subtly intertwined with the most structured song parts of the music, to make the whole thing more immediate and captivating.
A beautiful and intriguing dark ambient release, in touch with obscure forces of the divine and higher forms of spiritual communion. Another important contribution to multidimensional drone music and cinematic sound design.
Trusted Farms retains something of that freedom. It carries it into music that feels more physical, driven by rhythm, repetition and synthesizers with weight, friction and substance. Many parts were played live and barely edited. Lines are doubled, distorted, recorded again, sent through other machines. They remain recognizable. They keep some of their roughness. They breathe. Perhaps this is where the most beautiful part of the album lies.
Signals in the Static unfolds like a woven sonic blanket, warm and enveloping, as celestial voices drift, synths sway, and surreal blooms of ambient flutter shift and reshape across twelve pieces that feel more like soundtracks to life than a collection of tracks simply packaged together.
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.
There’s an understated optimism running through Less Invasive, placing Cognition Delay comfortably alongside the more atmospheric work of artists such as Secede, Arovane, Biosphere, and Rod Modell. Yet rather than imitate those sounds, Alexander and Rice create something more patient: music that works best when allowed to sit quietly in the room, gradually revealing its details while everything else falls away.
Together, the two tracks form a small refuge built from sound: sparse voices, lingering tones, and an unhurried sense of calm. Fortresses finds its strength in restraint, creating music that asks little of the listener beyond simply staying awhile, drifting, and letting go.
Irezumi returns with a deeply immersive ambient journey where granular textures, subtle electronic details, and melancholic atmospheres unfold into a beautifully restrained world of sound.
When the final sound fades, the small white emblem at the bottom of the cover comes to mind. A wave reduced to calligraphy, discreet while the blue occupies everything. Wind Paths works in much the same way: it passes through the listener, leaves behind a faint vibration and entrusts the air with carrying it away.
Power up the hi-fi and get your favorite seventies era Sci-Fi laserdisc movie cued up on your vintage home entertainment system, turn the volume down on the film, and turn up the volume on OBA to let them provide the soundtrack.
Steve Hauschildt returns after six years with a new album on Simul, still experimenting with the vast territories of audio research and panoramic, sentient ambient music on Aeropsia.
