https://banahaffarreleases.bandcamp.com/album/intimaa Experimental ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ released May 19, 2023 This is not the type of music you can listen to passively or appreciate in the background. A lot of people might miss out on what’s happening here because it needs to focused on like a complicated novel but also meditated on because it’s seriousContinue reading “intimaa’ إنتماء by Bana Haffar”

SEPL: Inertia by EndTitles
https://shopendtitles.bandcamp.com/album/sepl-inertia Genre: Experimental Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ released April 1, 2023 This one is deep dish no nonsense experimental music. It starts off abstract and stays abstract but I wouldn’t say there’s nothing to cling to. The sound evokes some sort of function in an industrial sense and I almost hate using that wordContinue reading “SEPL: Inertia by EndTitles”
Work of Progress & Etudes by J.Lynch
https://difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/work-of-progress-etudes Genre: Experimental Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 4/5 stars released February 15, 2023 Works of Progress and Etudes is made up of very purposeful compositions that remind me of the early works of Schoenberg. There are many composers I could compare this to and it might seem like a later electronic composer would makeContinue reading “Work of Progress & Etudes by J.Lynch”
Canon Chops by David Curington
https://difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/canon-chops Genre: Contemporary Rating: Very Highly Recommended released February 15, 2023 Canon Chops starts with a tape manipulation musique concrete electroacoustic reinterpretation of Schumann and Chopin. The style is somewhat reminiscent of Vladimir Ussachevsky but, in my opinion, it’s more rewarding to listen to because it’s not just deconstructed but it’s also reconstructed. It buildsContinue reading “Canon Chops by David Curington”
Remembered Present by Jacek Chmiel+Thomas Rohrer
https://scatterarchive.bandcamp.com/album/remembered-present Genre: Experimental Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars highest recommendation released January 30, 2023 This is the experience I want when I listen to experimental music. Engaging. Surprising. And cutting edge. The trend for artists to turn to field recordings is a great one. Especially when it’s done right. Remembered Present has all the electroacoustic musiqueContinue reading “Remembered Present by Jacek Chmiel+Thomas Rohrer”
Greaser in the Ghost Home by Das Synthetische Mischgewebe
https://tribetapes.bandcamp.com/album/greaser-in-the-ghost-home Genre: Electroacoustic Rating: Recommended released November 18, 2022 At this point electroacoustic music pretty much boils down to one thing: Are the sounds interesting enough to hold your attention? Or even more simply: Does it sound cool? Yes and yes. I’m long time fan of the genre. Every since I discovered Wednesday nights onContinue reading “Greaser in the Ghost Home by Das Synthetische Mischgewebe”
Call and Response by Stefan Goldmann
https://ashinternational.bandcamp.com/album/call-and-response Genre: Experimental Rating: Highly Recommended As the title hints at Call and Response is the artistic expression of reverberation. If the machines have any sentience perhaps they feel like slaves and chain gang workers from the past. Musically this also calls on more modern traditions. A 2022 release like this with this sound isn’tContinue reading “Call and Response by Stefan Goldmann”
Beyond the dark zone by Cristiano Bocci
https://unexplainedsoundsgroup.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-the-dark-zone Genre: Experimental Rating: 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 This one’s an aggressive percussive creature. If you remember the band Crash Worship the music on here builds tension in a similar fashion. It also has a film noir cinematic soundtrack vibe. Especially when you’re watching some movie and it occurs to you that the score composerContinue reading “Beyond the dark zone by Cristiano Bocci”
construída 2 by May HD, Mariana Carvalho, Em Extinção, Taticocteau
Genre: Experimental Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ released on bandcamp July 25, 2022 Unrecognizable national anthems brought forth from decimated vinyl to protest the repulsiveness of life in Brazil during the reign of Jair Bolsonaro. As an American, and further as a Floridian, I get it. This is a not a noise release but it is anContinue reading “construída 2 by May HD, Mariana Carvalho, Em Extinção, Taticocteau”
Vairagya by Mario Lino Stancati
https://unexplainedsoundsgroup.bandcamp.com/album/vairagya Genre: Experimental Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp April 1, 2022 The distinction of borders are probably less important than they were in the 1960’s but there’s still a borrowing and building symbiotic relationship of artistic ideas among Italian and German composers. This one’s Italian and you can hear the space savore sanguino. Vairagya, I’veContinue reading “Vairagya by Mario Lino Stancati”
Breaking News by Hildegard Westerkamp
https://earsaymusic.bandcamp.com/album/breaking-news Genre: Electroacoustic Rating: I refuse to put a number on it. released March 25, 2022 “The pieces presented here were created between 1988 and 2012” I’m determined not to feel self-conscious about writing sentences like this next one. To me, this release is a sonic representation of what it is to be a livingContinue reading “Breaking News by Hildegard Westerkamp”
Stolen Lighters by Marsha Fisher
https://falt.bandcamp.com/album/stolen-lighters Genre: musique concrete Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp October 4, 2021 Like free jazz this is a genre that has been defined since the 1960’s Here the composer chooses to avoid non sequitur collages. It’s a strange forest but there is a path through it. It’s a bit like Ussachevsky except mercifully slowed wayContinue reading “Stolen Lighters by Marsha Fisher”
