Experimental Electronic Music
Establishing a benchmark for high-definition electronic experimentation, US-based Point Source Electronic Arts explores expansive landscapes steeped in post-industrial terrain, striking a balance between explosive glitch mechanisms and delicate atmospheric textures.
Surrounded by good friends contributing their own interpretations—including Abdicant, Access To Arasaka, Valance Drakes, Jérôme Chassagnard, Unterm Rad, Asshole Galaxy, Abdicant, Weldroid, Grosso Gadgetto, and Mitoma—”Альбатрос” turns into an avalanche of sonic detritus.
A well-balanced album of emotive experimental electronic music that aims to expose finer visual-audio fragments in its dense sound design. An upper-level release we’ll keep in constant rotation.
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.
This collaboration started the same time as the label in 2021 (during the global pandemic) as we struggled to reconnect with the world around us. Track ideas were started in Spain by inoperative system as simple sketches and finished in the USA by b0t23.
Impacted by broken modular transmissions where tangled machines communicate (and even perhaps argue) with each other, this album dives full-throttle into the darkest recesses of the mind.
Each musician displays their own knack for agitated electrical mayhem, some dive into grittier industrial spaces, while others venture into modular fizz-fuzz acrobatics.
As the series unfortunately comes to an end, now’s the time to catch up to the plethora of sound sculptors the imprint has opened our ears to.
