Experimental Electronic Music
Hawkins elicits increasing clearly defined tones from his modular synth, with bright ambience and traces of an improvisatory concert of lofty circles in the air, like entangled particles dancing in their contemplative and transcendent harmonic existence.
Across the album, Toh Imago finds inventive ways of opening a dialogue between nature and machine, both literally and metaphorically, creating a soundscape that both feels like and was created by the natural world…
Exit Language Translator finds itself standing alone as a beacon for others to locate; its mysterious yet cleverly soft distortions and vintage soundscapes are both surreal and serendipitous.
When you dive into these analogous time capsules, the soundscapes and soundtracks seamlessly come to life, as if only a few machines were massaged to create such audible treasures.
Plector sees Parallel Worlds on his third solo mission with DiN, and once again encapsulates darker atmospheres, especially as the opening title-track showcases so well.
Its construction made from a Eurorack system and desktop synths, the opportunity to dive into these productions creates a dizzying array of sweet audio collages.
The album flows in a crisp loop influenced and foggy slow motion ritual to repeat, for me it slows things down in an interesting way.
Finding a portal to the hollow interior of the earth, never seen before, through changing textures and forms, from deep extended foggy drones to popping electronic beats that hide and barely emerge in places.
This album is also some sort of a tribute to everything non-linear and unpredictable in the audio world, such as analogue circuits, tubes, spring reverb, tapes, all those things that made those pieces sound as they sound.
The last twelve months has dissolved into a kaleidoscope of similar news stories, mutating variants and a continued sense of unease. Thankfully there is always music to sooth the fevered brow; music and tradition.
Foraging through massive amounts of data and reconstituting them into byte-size recordings that have sporadic start and end points, The Best Of Yellow Yellow Salamand’r is a perplexing and dense assortment worth diving into head-first to unravel its mysterious trip.
