Deru :: rhythm tapes (Pushing Air Productions)
After years exploring ambient stillness and shadowy textures, Deru—aka Benjamin Wynn—returns with rhythm tapes, a raw, genre-blurring mixtape of ten glitchy, percussive tracks. Fusing early IDM spirit with modern grit, it’s a rhythmic reinvention where chaos and control collide. A new chapter, sharper and louder.
Hello Spiral :: Detached Objects (Moonside Tapes)
Hello Spiral’s Detached Objects (Moonside Tapes) blends noise, dark ambient, computer music, and musique concrète to defy easy categorization. By severing sounds from familiar meanings, it creates an unsettling atmosphere of estrangement, embodying Viktor Shklovsky’s idea of “making the stone stony” and challenging passive listening.
Francis Morning :: Subtle Bodies (Lo Recordings)
Subtle Bodies delivers tape music and looped technics at the finest in terms of emotional transportation and spiritual ravishment. The result is tenderly soothing and the defective almost glitch-esque nature of the fragmented piano sequences add an atmosphere of warmth melancholia and sorrowing nostalgia.

For Macrogramma, the medium evidently brings with it, more than nostalgia’s facile allure, in contrast to digital’s infinite possibility, an intransigence forcing definitive choices.
Onepointwo :: Voyages Extraordinaires (Human Geography)
These are works of musique concrète recalling the radiophonic atmospheres in vogue in the fifties and sixties and now seeing a sound resurgence as the medium of tape is revitalized and resurrected for composing.

Daou :: Reverie (Rohs!)
Tape enthusiast from an early age, fiddler and twiddler with loops, synths and field recordings alongside his trusted guitar and effect pedals,..
Richard Devine :: Algoraves, IDM, and COVID-19
An interview with Richard Devine by Wilder Gonzales Agreda from April 2020. Reprinted with permission (Vanguardia Peruana). Complex rhythms, ultrasonic, and brainy psychedelia Richard Devineis […]
Fields We Found :: Distance (Seil)
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.
