Keith Canisius, Shortwave Broadcaster, and Morph Stereo : Music For Connection

My first exposure to the music of Danish producer/musician/composer Keith Canisius was his work in the excellent Komische/Berlin School duo Astral TV. Astral TV created heady, buzzing electronic music via electronics and processed guitars, capturing the sound of electronic experimentation via the foundational music DNA found in early 70s German music pioneers like Tangerine Dream, […]

Pye Corner Audio Returns With ‘The Endless Echo’, Out 4/5; Listen To “Decision Point”

Martin Jenkins, aka Pye Corner Audio, has been making haunted techno and eerie ambient music for well over a decade now. Releasing the cassette series The Black Mills Tapes in the early 2010s, then putting out a run of LPs that have proven influential and inspiring in the hauntology/library music genres. Pye Corner Audio is […]

Ariel Kalma, Jeremiah Chiu, and Marta Sofia Honer : The Closest Thing To Silence

The best instrumental music takes you out of what you perceive to be your world and opens doors to new ones. It brings the curtain down on reality so that you can expand your mental and emotional horizons. Instrumental music doesn’t need words to guide you somewhere, as the composition built from instruments is the […]

New Songs For Those Night Thrills

Before you could say “Please, no more music” I’m here dropping new music. Yes, I’m currently sitting on a back log of new music I recorded starting in October. If you’re paying attention I released a 4-song EP of instrumental music just a couple weeks ago, but those were all a year’s worth of music […]

36 : Reality Engine

Dennis Huddleston, aka electronic artist 36, makes electronic music in the grand tradition of trailblazers like Edgar Froese, Klaus Schulze, and Jean-Michel Jarre. And what I mean by that is 36 works on grand scales, building crystalline sound worlds where one gets lost for a bit. Where some ambient feels like slow motion cloud formation […]

Songs For Your Enjoyment And Scratching The Creative Itch

A year ago I was feeling the weight of it all. I feel the weight of it all most of the time, but a year ago I was especially feeling it. I was inching closer to some kind of finality with my nearly 24 years at the same job, our youngest was heading into the […]

Jake Schrock : Temporal Visions EP

Jake Schrock builds very specific sound worlds. They feel familiar yet wholly singular to the Texas-based analog electronic composer. His 2018 Holodeck Records debut Tropical Depression was this island vibe-heavy record. Schrock painted visions of steely shores and sinking suns with vintage synths and drum machines, giving us an album that was equally Caribbean and […]

“She Hunts At Night” : Digging Into Pye Corner Audio’s ‘Prowler’

I didn’t discover Pye Corner Audio until 2016. I was in the midst of healing from back surgery(herniated disc) and I was obsessively searching the Mondo/Death Waltz Recording Company’s website to see if I could snag any soundtracks(for therapeutic purposes, of course.) During that time I’d found the amazing Pentagram Home Video’s Who’s Out There?, […]

Xander Harris : Malediction

The return of Justin Sweatt’s nom de plume Xander Harris is always something to celebrate. I’ve been following the musical world of Xander Harris for some time. At least six years, ever since hearing the amazing Termination Dust and realizing I’d been missing out on something special. The following year Villains of Romance dropped and […]

Oneohtrix Point Never : Again

Daniel Lopatin has had quite the creative and artistic arc with his electronic project Oneohtrix Point Never. From the psychedelic beginnings of drone-heavy albums like Betrayed In The Octagon, Russian Mind, and Returnal; to experimenting with grander scopes on R Plus Seven, Garden of Delete, and his most recent record Magic Oneohtrix Point Never. Lopatin […]
