Artist Biographies

Marc Myers, the enigmatic artist behind Abcess Grenk, has been a cornerstone of experimental music since the early 1980s. Based in Lincoln, Nebraska, Myers crafts intricate soundscapes using vintage gear, including Behringer synthesizers, modular rigs, and custom distortion pedals, showcasing a deep commitment to analog and DIY aesthetics. His work, spanning over four decades, reflects a restless innovation, blending raw electronic textures with experimental guitar techniques. Often elusive, Myers' rare recordings, such as the recent Issue 2 on his CopyThis! label, resonate with a raw, immersive quality that captures the spirit of independent artistry.

Solar Cells
Warm Spell
(Eternal Music Projects)
The debut from the Australian, Naarm-based electronic project Solar Cells presents a hypnotic exploration of modular synthesis and cyclic rhythm, drawing from kosmische traditions and minimalist structures through analog gear and tape effects to create immersive, slowly evolving soundscapes rich in texture, pulse, and experimental clarity.
Watson, Mat
Reflective Hits
(Eternal Music Projects)
Extracted from archival sessions at Imaginary Sound Fields in Melbourne, Australian synthesist Mat Watson assembles a limited-edition set of vivid modular compositions — ranging from library-inspired cues to exploratory electronic abstractions — capturing the tactile nuance of a Eurorack modular as he sculpts asymmetrical, colorful soundscapes that blur nostalgia, experimentation, and inner space.
Halls Of the Machine
All Tribal Dignitaries [CASSETTE w/ DOWNLOAD]
(Copy This!)
A bold reinvention from Halls of the Machine, trading electronica atmospheres for a guitar-fueled rock ensemble where Mike Graff's riffs, Michael Jerome's driving percussion, and dual bass foundations collide with subtle string undercurrents, forging a dense, cinematic sound that balances raw physicality with lingering, haunted introspection.

Directives
Glimmer
(Aubjects)
A series of instrumental compositions from D.

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.
Merce, Sergio
Traslasierra (expanded landscape)
(Hitorri)
A beautiful album of expanded landscapes performed on electronically modified Electronic Wind Instrument, field recordings, virtual instruments and synthesizer from Argentinian sound artist Sergio Merce, his characteristically patient pacing and use of space creating dramatic and beautiful sonic environments that hint at warm narratives in a seductive excursion.
Cammisa, Edoardo
io_u,E
(Sublime Retreat)
Understated and enigmatic, the work of Northern Italian sound artist Edoardo Cammisa, aka Banished Pills, presents a very short work on decay, and then two expanded sound works composed from synthesisers, spring reverb, microphones, field recordings, no-input mixing, organ & sampler; the environments are murky but with movement, and engaging in their dark evening ambiance.

Songs for the Nervous System [VINYL]

Sguera, Luca
Piano, Exploded
(Shhpuma)
Performing on both piano and bass drum, Italian improviser & composer Luca Sguera presents six works based around the physical sounds of the piano, traditional acoustic piano progressions and rhythmic arrangements fitting the development of each piece's sound, as much sound art as piano composition through sophisticated hybrids of acoustic and sonic environments.
Hallonsten, Tomas
Monolog
(thanatosis produktion)
Stepping away from his improvisational work with groups including Exploding Customer and Fire! Orchestra, Swedish trumpeter and keyboardist Tomas Hallonsten releases a solo album of analog synthesis, early electronics and drum machines, lyrically inclinded compositions with diverse influences including George Harrison, Sun Ra and Kraftwerk, plus a cover of Joe Henderson's "Earth".

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.

Drift Nowhere Past / The Adventure Of Sleep [2 CDs]
(elsewhere)
Interested in compositional work involving sound, timing, space, physicality, memory, noise & environment, Dutch composer Reinier van Houdt shares six works developed for erstwhile record's festival AMPLIFY 2020: quarantine, each piece focused on a specific day of the month; and a complementary set of four compositions about everyday recurring situations.

Davis, Greg
Throughline

Hawkins, Chester
Magnetisk Nord
(Intangible Arts)
Chester Hawkins' curiosity for Denmark resulted in his renting an apartment in central Kobenhavn, bringing along his electronically modified lapsteel guitar, wind and reed instruments, tabletop noise-boxes, mobile synthesizer apps and a shortwave radio, which he joined with field recordings from the capital region, creating this magnificent loveletter to Denmark.
