The title an excellent reflection of the work, Seattle-based, Turkish-born Deli Kuvveti developed these two works that flow into each other to create an absorbing impression of a serene summer evening with dark undertones, using a granular synthesis configuration that creates movement through textured sounds, creating two complex and highly detailed narratives.

"Seattle-based, Turkish-born Deli Kuvveti is known for building immersive, complex microtonal worlds.
The blend of floating harmonic drones and granular bursts in the compositions on the Even After album have been compared to works of a wide range of composers from Xenakis to Jim O'Rourke, but also have been noted for their idiosyncratic sonic language of non-Western harmonies and outstandingly psychedelic nature.
"In The Summer Dusk" is a new work by Deli Kuvveti, which is a continuation of the direction taken in "Even After," but even more refined, balanced and brilliantly mastered by Stephan Mathieu."-Sublime Retreat
"With this album I wanted to create distinct musical movements that flow into each other effortlessly. I set up a granular synthesis "machinery" which I evolved by slightly changing the current configuration. Using this iterative process, I generated movements with textured sounds to create 2 distinct narratives.
I aimed for an album that sounds fuzzy and warm but that also has dark undertones for contrast - like a palette that welcomes all colors and shades.
Hopefully, the end result is an immersive experience that takes you to a different time and place."-Deli Kuvveti

 | Vehicule Aubusson (Sublime Retreat) |
| A diverse set of compositions spanning dreamlike aural landscapes, petite songs and assertive experiments of rich sound, in the fourth album from French sound artist Sylvain Milliot under the project name Véhicule, developed from improvised recordings that were then developed in the studio, each piece fitting together in a larger and aurally satisfying framework. | |
 | Dead Mauriacs, The Le Parc, rapport d'observations (Sublime Retreat) |
| The mysterious French audio collective The Dead Mauriacs led by Olivier Prieur in a 3-part work of electroacoustic compositions sourced from field recordings made during time spent in Brussels, developing these works based on daily recordings of audio observations at cafes, parks, churches, plus manipulated objects and some parakeets in a park; truly inspired collage work. | |
 | 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. | |
 | Duplant, Bruno Paysages Sans Age III (Sublime Retreat) |
| Two encompassing and tranquil works of sound from French composer Bruno Duplant, the album title translating to Ageless Landscapes as Duplant envisions two terrains through slow motion tones, piano and synthetics, evocatively described in an accompanying poem that conjures expansive fog, blurred trees, hawks slowly spiraling, a history in a hillside. | |
 | Drumm, Kevin Battering Rams [VINYL] (A Sunken Mall) |
| An album of transporting drones and industrial soundscapes from Chicago experimental artist Kevin Drumm, drawing the listener into his soundspace slowly through distracted studio clatter and then journeying deep into textures and tones, maintaining a natural quality to synthetic and obscure sources in this fine addition to his expansive discography. | |
 | Vales, David Beta Vulgaris (Sublime Retreat) |
| Working with sound and the relationship to food, crops, and the culinary identity of communities, Beta Vulgaris, (the latin name of the common beet) was composed by Bogota, Columbia born David Velez, a PhD graduate in Sound Art from the University of Huddersfield, who used these specific tones to stimulate the growth of beetroot in the garden of the Modern Art Museum in Medellin. | |
 | Belorukov, Ilia Someone Has Always Come (Sublime Retreat) |
| The third in Ilia Belorukov's series of electroacoustic compositions on Spina!Rec and Moving Furniture, here in a set of four compositions, each presenting detailed layers of acoustic and electronic instrumentation and field recordings captured throughout Europe and Russia, carefully placed over heavily laden synthetic drones that guide the motion of each piece. | |
 | Zenial Lancelot's Delusions (Sublime Retreat) |
| The music project of Polish sound explorer Lukasz Szaankiewicz is Zenial, merging minimal ambient and micro-sounds with field recordings and a sense of skewed motion, creating long-form virtual journeys through strange environments, or in rich textures of a dark night accompanied by slowly moving tones, his years of experience heard through exceptional sonic qualities. | |
 | Duplant, Bruno Le Jour D'apres (Sublime Retreat) |
| A dark journey into a nocturnal world of synthetic tones and urban environments, emerging from footsteps and impressions of the passing world imbued through vaporous and skewed progressions, like moonlight piercing through a veil, from French composer and electroacoustic artist Bruno Duplant in an extended work dedicated to Belgian pianist Guy Vandromme. | |
 | Duplant, Bruno / Seth Nehil The Memory Of Things (Sublime Retreat) |
| An immersive and often explosive set of dark compositions from Seth Nehil & Bruno Duplant, blending field recordings, electronics, percussion and percussive objects into a controlled chaos of inexplicably murky and uncategorizable sounds, at times like a surreal firework display, or inserted into a complex machine on the verge of collapse, all imbued with a consistent resonant hue. | |
 | Arcane Device Mechanismos (pulsewidth) |
| An apt title for the creatively mechanistic rhythms and electronic machinations of David Lee Myers' long-running project Arcane Device, in an album of ten succinct tracks of distinct cadence, pulse and encompassing electronics, described by Myers as "Analog rhythms, microtonal swarms, and feedback tonalities for pagan rituals on Monster Island." | |
 | Merce, Sergio En Lugar De Pensar (Edition Wandelweiser Records) |
| One circular and one continuous composition from Argentinian composer Sergio Merce, using rich tones like clouds of sound generated by a microtonal saxophone, synthesizer and wind synth, the title referring to his sense of music a channel to see, to reveal, a channel that opens through intuition, observation and attention but not through thinking; beautiful. | |
 | Brown, Chris Retrospectacles [2 CDs] (fo'c'sle) |
| A fascinating 2-CD retrospective of the solo piano and computer work from 1990 to 2016 of San Francisco Bay Area experimental composer Chris Brown, whose work focuses on evolving paradigms of human-machine interaction through live signal processing, generative polyrhythmic textures, and a cohabitation of both formal control and indeterminacy. | |
 | Cleaver, Gerald Signs (577 Records) |
| Taking his cues from the electronic music of his Detroit roots, free jazz drummer Gerald Cleaver presents an album of synthetic rhythms and sonic landscape, each piece composed in detailed arrangements of compelling and adventurous structures, from propulsive grooves to sinuous soundscapes, a surprising and exciting twist showing Cleaver's strong compositional skills. | |
