“Dawn,” the opening track from Jack Prest’s upcoming album Movement, unfolds with a quiet, glowing optimism. Centered around a gently ascending Moog arpeggio, the piece feels like first light slowly spreading across a landscape. Jason Noble’s clarinet drifts in and out like birdsong, while Clarie Edwardes’ processed orchestral percussion and Ben Freeman’s piano add both […]
“TIAGDTD” is a slow hallucination, spiraling inward with a strange grace. Matt Bachmann builds a rhythmic floor that feels both meditative and unsteady, where Derek Baron’s minimalist drums and James Krivchenia’s congas form a kind of twitchy heartbeat under clouds of bass clarinet and flickering synth debris. The track hovers in that space between stillness […]
“Untimely Flowering Season” unfolds in an elegiac soundworld, where drifting synth drones carry a weightless kind of melancholy. Kuma shapes each phrase with subtle tonal shifts, like light filtering through layers of sheer fabric, always changing, never quite landing. The found footage in the video casts everything in a suspended glow, giving the sense of […]
Aidan Girt’s remix of Rêves sonores’s “Svalbard” doesn’t just reframe the original, it deepens its pulse. His percussion enters like weather, slow-building but precise, shaping a quiet momentum that lingers just beneath the surface. The drums don’t demand attention so much as reshape time itself, making space for glacial textures to swell and recede. Playful, […]
“MML” unfolds like a slow burn, a hymn steeped in fury and held in stillness. Dorian Wood sits with her accordion, the frame unflinching, her voice rising through waves of distortion and light. The synths grind and effervesce, not as decoration but as pressure, as rupture. There is no spectacle here, only presence—anchored, alert, and […]
“Fluorescent Echo” drifts in slow gradients, pairing dissolving color fields with a soundworld built from memory’s debris. The video undergoes subtle tonal shifts as if light itself were trying to recall something half-forgotten. Matthew Mercer’s composition unfolds quietly, shaped by tape hiss, faint melodic gestures, and the ghostly outline of lost improvisations. There’s a tenderness […]
Gray resonance forms a living wall on “c0n73x7_c0ll4p53” from Yann Novak’s forthcoming album, Continuity. Loops of field recordings and synthetic tones seep into one another, layering like opaque filters over gravitation pulses and a vanishing image. The piece unfolds slowly, but nothing stays still, meaning slips sideways, cloaked in the very textures that seem to […]
Zimoun’s latest for Room 40 is spectral and quietly disarming. Using a 100-year-old harmonium as his sole sound source, he conjures resonant whispers that feel unearthed from time itself—ageless, wordless incantations suspended in liminal breath. The instrument’s organic tone pulses with dark wonder, as if exhaling new life into our lungs. Harmonium I–VI carries the […]
Proteins of Magic returns with an animated ritual of ethereal drift and ageless force. Buoyant synths flutter in darkness like shadow wings brushing against neon pulses. A blackened whimsy rises in the clay figures—impossible to ignore, yet laced with the urge to look away. Kelly Sherrod’s voice remains the flaming heart of Proteins of Magic, […]
