Experimental Electronic Music
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.
The Artist Showcase series offers a community of like-minded sonic sculptors a platform to present their enigmatic but perplexing structures for the world to interpret.
Each musician displays their own knack for agitated electrical mayhem, some dive into grittier industrial spaces, while others venture into modular fizz-fuzz acrobatics.
While the theme on Book of Needlecraft, and its track titles, are centered around embroidery and needlepoint, the vast electrical tapestry stitched together on this proverbial audio quilt is subtle and warm.
Point Source Electronic Arts continue to expand their sonic reach with well-curated compilations displaying a knack for abstract electronics in all of its wonderfully skewed shapes and forms.
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.
