Every so often you might start thinking that you’ve heard all that the experimental ambient genre has to offer. Then an album like this one comes along. A collaboration between long-time acquaintances Durán Vázquez and Dani Kloob, Vinum Sabbati, In the Dawn of Science Fiction is a loose tribute to the works of author Arthur Machen. It …

Durán Vázquez + Kloob’s “Vinum Sabbati: In the Dawn of Science Fiction” reviewed by Radiohoerer
Noch düsterer, ja, ein regelrechter akustischer „Horror“, ist das, was Durán Vázquez + Kloob für uns bereithalten. Es gibt kein Entrinnen aus dieser Dystopie. Auch dieses Release ist nichts für schwache Nerven. Mitunter brutal brechen ihre Soundkaskaden über uns herein. Ihre Inspirationsquelle ist Arthur Machen, von dem ich noch nie etwas gehört habe. Ihre Musik …

30xN — LRJ1 (C 242, DL) greift, wie auch schon „30xN — VRD1“ (C 235), Klangfäden auf, die @c + Visiophone bei ihrer audiovisuellen Performance „30xN“ gesponnen haben. Nun mit ‘LRJ1’ als von Mensch und Maschine, von Miguel Carvalhais & Pedro Tudela und einem Modular-System partnerschaftlich generiertem Track, der in seinem pochenden Tropfen, flattrigen Dröhnen, Surren, prickeligen Knistern …

New release: Durán Vázquez + Kloob
Durán Vázquez and Kloob have known each other for over 25 years, sharing a strong interest in electronic music. In early 2023 they started collaborating towards developing a long-form work, for which the short story Novel of the White Powder by Arthur Machen became a strong inspiration. Machen’s story is a precursor of what we now know …

Emiter’s “Electromagnetism of the City” reviewed by Anxious
Natura i miasto… Jeśli zestawimy ze sobą te środowiska w kontekście tego, co słyszymy, naturalnie pojawić się może przeciwstawne porównanie – cisza i hałas. Gdyby jednak spróbować usłyszeć w miejskim zgiełku harmonię jego odgłosów? Dobrym punktem wyjścia będzie tu nowy album Emitera. Już sam jego tytuł zachęca do wgłębienia się w dźwięki otoczenia i spojrzenie …

New release: Emiter’s “Electromagnetism of the City”

This album is composed from the broad range of noises that surround us in contemporary urban life, on the impulses, discharges, and harmonies of the city. Emiter explores feedbacks, noises, densities, and how streets are like a circuit board where houses are chips and …

Marc Behrens’s “Clould” reviewed by The Sound Projector
We’re still reeling from Mut Att Narc Imm which we noted in 2019, continuing in our way to typecast this player as severe and extreme in his very distinct approach to minimalism, but it’s more likely we’re still enduring self-induced nightmares and sleepless nights from that image of a red claw. In fact this fellow has a wide …
