Delving deep into the laptop, “Digital Junkies In Strange Times” is a genre-ignoring collection of electronic ambiences that draws ethereal samples shamelessly from any source that appeals. Most prominently this is R&B acapellas (some re-recorded presumably for legal reasons), processed to drift in out of our consciousness like a distant radio broadcast, but other found […]

The brand-new Ran Slavin’s album, which was just released on the label Crónica, sounded incredibly awesome in my media player. I’ve always been interested in his music, but I was surprised to discover that Digital Junkies in Strange Times was even more intriguing than his previous work.

Una raccolta che nonostante il divario temporale che separa una traccia dall’altra, denota una discreta personalità, non appariscente ma di solida tensione unitaria. Stratificazione di segnali altamente […]

Le colonne sonore sono parte fondamentale di un lm e spesso hanno decretato il successo della pellicola. Poi c’è chi scrive colonne sonore per lm immaginari come fa Barry Adamson e c’è chi estrae frammenti di queste musiche, le scompone e intorno crea un’atmosfera destrutturata fatta di una dark ambient dagli echi quasi jazz noir […]
