Bamboo meets modular synthesis: Von Helfenstein weaves khaen's pentatonic harmonies with electronics in a choose-your-own-adventure album, while Mother Raspberry & A.R.C. deliver 53 minutes of outright lunacy — now with 8% more RAM. Arcane Synthetic immerses through industrial abrasion and dark ambient landscapes exploring the psychological aftermath of transformation, and R&D guide you through live improvised electronic synth explorations. John Reidar Holmes sings of life, death, magic and the empirical, while Intact Veils dissolves blurred branches into pale blue fog through mirrored movements of sound and space.

I Only Like Difficult Art (and music)
Celebrating its 3 year anniversary, Difficult Art and Music presents a double-album of forward-thinking experimental composition. Inspired equally by the classical composers of the Avant-Garde – the likes of Ligeti, Kagel, Young and Cage – alongside the more expressive end of contemporary electronic music, DAAM has spent the last 3 years championing the awkward, the academic, and the overlooked.
