“Alternate angles. Distorted reflections. Adjusted transmissions.”
Transmissions from the experimental edge: Darren Tynan's Tidalectic De/Composition sculpts ambient sound collage from hydrophone field recordings of tidal forces, wind, and time-stretched seabird calls on My Khe Beach, Vietnam. Arcane Synthetic's Revised Reports – Volume 2 revisits earlier material through an unstable lens of dark ambient minimalism — distorted reflections and adjusted transmissions for those already inside the world. Chaircrusher's Slant Tales attempts to reveal the real shape of the entire universe, while Humanfobia's Drag Me to the Witch House conjures ghostly computer music from Rancagua, Chile. MULTIPLAYER's The Seventh Game pays homage to Sega classics, and Julijus Smalinskas navigates the weight of grief.
“Tidalectic De/Composition is an ambient sound collage work, from an experimental hydrophone-based field recording practice undertaken on a section of My Khe Beach in Danang, Vietnam.”
“Chris of Wilderness's 9th album Smoke Up Every Mountain puts it's hat in the ring for the dankest record of the year award.”
