Arovane :: Atol Scrap (2021 Remaster) (Keplar)
It is this brevity and the exquisite song crafting therein which I believe has kept Atol Scrap head and shoulders above the fray and forgotten […]
Tonik Ensemble :: Music Is Mass (Touched Music)
The atmosphere herein simply spills over non-existent—perhaps even floating—boundaries with a surplus of instrumental virtuosity, roughened textures, and vaporous brittle tones that time shift and alter before our own eyes.
Erik Lankin :: The Icarus Album (Auteur Research)
This amazing work of Erik Lankin creates a new triumph, which I would place high in the pantheon of significant human musical expressions.
Music by the Numbers :: From Pythagoras to Schoenberg by Eli Maor (Princeton University Press)
For anyone who is interested in a primer exploring the basic connections between music and math, this is a good start and overview of the topic. Written in a breezy, easy to understand style, it stretches the mind while not tying it up into too many knots.
Blind Ruler Cursed Land :: Music for Firewalkers (Gladivs & Sky Burial)
A convincing album which can easily seduce avid listeners of ritualistic soundscapes where acoustic instrumental elements are melted with ambient-cinematic epicness.
Ạoris :: In Existence (Same Difference Music)
Jazz and neo-classically informed piano and Rhodes-like timbres take center stage across the nine pieces gathered together for this debut full length effort. Interlaced ambient textures and rhythmic melodies round out the sound palette.
V/A :: Music For Alien Temples (Eighth Tower)
The homage to epic and neo-mythological science fiction novels from classic-era is implicitly brought up to the fore. Thus this soundtrack can be well recommended while reading visionary literature from Arthur Machen and Henry Rider Haggard where heavenly mysticism meets dark energies and horror stories.
Heogen :: Heogen (Touched Music)
Both Martin Boulton (aka Min-Y-Llan, Touched Music founder) and Jeroen Bax (aka exm) build incredibly surreal audio worlds. As their earlier releases were characterized as a “real demonstration of powerful synergy,” this eponymous release draws a recognizable pulse.
Ne Tvoy Drug :: Veter EP (Mestnost)
Veter glides by like gentle snow falling in the heart of winter, with its melodies drifting past light technoid flutter and a crisp chill in the air.
