Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Warm Spell marks the debut release from Naarm based artist Solar Cells. Created with a range of modular systems drawing from both East and West Coast synthesis traditions, complemented by a rhythm unit and a tape echo machine, Warm Spell is an idiosyncratic exploration of post 1973 Kosmische Musik, carefully honed over months of experimentation in Imaginary Sound Fields.

Central to the album is a fascination with cycling motifs, guided by a unique circular score. Each piece emerges from this framework using a closed-loop compositional system designed to transform minimal input into a dynamic world of pulses and animations.

All music created by Solar Cells can be defined by either: a. A pulse b. An animation c. A ratio of both by varying degrees

This simple compositional rule provides a template that produces immersive live experimentation and defined compositional outcomes.

The sound of Warm Spell nods to the innovative work of artists such as Harmonia and Cluster alongside processes inspired by Laurie Spiegel, yet remains uniquely its own, existing at the intersection of the dancefloor and experimental music.

Warm Spell is an expansive meditation on cosmic energy and dedicated to the inner glow of origin."-EMP

Klinga, Erik
Elusive Shimmer
(thanatosis produktion)
Swedish composer Erik Klinga crafts radiant electroacoustic works from Buchla synth, pipe organ, drum machine, and field recordings, weaving melodic ambient vignettes that shimmer with warmth and light, moving through celestial textures, gliding rhythms, and bird-like flourishes in a richly detailed debut recorded at StockholmÕs Royal College of Music, the first of a planned trilogy on Thanatosis.
CHANGES TO blind (Phil Zampino)
Volume 9 - I Wave on a Fine Vile Mist [CD + DOWNLOAD]
(Squidco)
The ninth and first concept album from Phil Zampino's CHANGES TO blind project, composed from synthetics, samples, field recordings, plunders, and voice, draws on a childhood 10" circus record to explore life's strange loop through sonic experimentation, collage, and poetry-blurring memory, absurdity, and existential inquiry in a deeply personal, carousel-like narrative.
Chrysakis, Thanos
Psyche
(Eternal Music Projects)
Exploring the depths and boundaries of the psyche through seven compelling electroacoustic compositions, Greek composer Thanos Chrysakis delivers a deeply psychedelic, mysterious, and immersive sonic journey, masterfully blending electronic textures and acousmatic elements that resonate within the listener's consciousness, psyche, and imagination — a vivid reflection on complex inner landscapes.
Arcane Device
Plays the Music of J.S. Bach
(pulsewidth)
Under his Arcane Device moniker, David Lee Myers revisits an unrealized collaboration with Tod Dockstader, deconstructing well-known classical works — primarily those of Bach — through sampling, stretching, looping, and computer-based processing, transforming familiar motifs into playful, shimmering, and immersive soundscapes inspired by Lucas Foss's Baroque Variations.
Myers, David Lee
Oculus [2CDs]
(pulsewidth)
A double CD of rich ambient work from New York City-based sound artist David Lee Myers, presenting four expansive compositions that blend electronics, lamellophone, feedback matrices, and hardware and software processing, evoking the ocular opening of the eye and architectural forms through immersive soundscapes that explore the interplay between organic and electronic elements.
Zuydervelt, Rutger
Meander
(Machinefabriek)
A mesmerizing sonic counterpart to the acrobatic and dance performance Meander, Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek) crafts an immersive score that mirrors the movement of Marta & Kim, Knot on Hands, and Felix Zech, blending ambient textures and dynamic shifts to evoke fluidity, weight, and momentum, shaping an auditory journey that unfolds with the same grace and unpredictability as the performance itself.
Reger, Rick
Textures & Tonalities for Analogue Synthesizers & Percussion
(Aural Terrains)
Blending vintage analogue synthesizers with resonant percussion, Chicago-based Rick Reger (The Margots) constructs an immersive electroacoustic soundscape that balances harmonic depth and atmospheric tension, sculpting evolving tonalities through Moog, Mellotron, Arp & VCS3 alongside gongs and singing bowls in a meditative and richly textured sonic exploration.
Birge, Jean-Jacques
Animal Opera
(GRRR)
Blending the autonomous compositions of Nabaz'mob, his opera for 100 smart rabbits, with the vibrant naturalism of "Dawn at Shimiyacu", a field recording from Peru's Amazon rainforest, Jean-Jacques Birgé along with Antoine Schmitt juxtaposes minimalist robotic orchestrations with raw environmental soundscapes, creating a genre-defying exploration within his signature sonic universe.
Abcess Grenk
Erguss Von Licht [CASSETTE w/ DOWNLOAD]
(Copy This!)
Marc Myers, recording in Lincoln, Nebraska, is the creative force behind Abcess Grenk, merging analog electronics and experimental guitar in Erguss Von Licht, as a blend of synthesizers, modular synths, a Fender guitar, and a '69 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp, for richly layered and textured improvisations steeped in a DIY aesthetic that reflects Myers' decades-long evolution in sound exploration.
Wilson, Kelsey
A Workmanlike Approach [CASSETTE w/ DOWNLOAD]
(Marthasville Fine Audio Recordings)
Two distinctive works of sounds and noise from Atlanta sound artist and drummer Kelsey Wilson composing extended works using field recordings collected between 2020-2022, volume/feedback and synthesizers; first a howling and heavy journey in "Bootstrap Story"; then a rich and ringing birthday party for Nick Cave that ends with haunting bells and running water.
AUTORHTYHM
Songs for the Nervous System [VINYL]
(thanatosis produktion)
An investigation into the depths of the body's neurological frontier from Swedish electronic artist Joakim Forsgren, presenting a series of intuitive compositions drawing from the latest medical research on how light and sound at specific frequencies has a potential to affect bodily functions, using analog synthesizers to create retro-rhythmic environments of flowing sound.
Petit, Philippe
In A State of Weightlessness
(Aural Terrains)
Four distinct compositions from French electroacoustic composer Philippe Petit, each using analog synthesizers including Buchla Easel K & Buchla 200 synthesizers, EMS Synthi and a Landscape Stereofield analog synthesizer, interestingly layered and captivatingly paced against processed voices, percussion, insider piano work, broken glass, samplers and turntables.
Myers, David Lee
Partikelrauschen
(pulsewidth)
Referring to the music on this album from New York feedback and electronic pioneer David Lee Myers as "firmly rooted in the electronic music of the 1950s-1960s", over nine tracks we are taken on an otherworldly journey of detailed particulate electronic adventures, sometimes swooping, vertiginous, monstrous and unpredictable, each track captured live in Myer's Pulsewidth studio.
