Data Snow – Phases (2014)
/Dark ambient, Abstract,
Dystopbient, Sound art, Epic, Illbient, Soundscapes, Minimalism, Microtonal,
Avant-garde, Experimentalism, Post-industrial/
Comment: although Data
Snow`s 8-piece issue is formally starkly bleak and austere its emotional
impression renders into something remarkably significant and striking. The
project`s thoroughly experimental approach emerges through minimally composed
music predominantly providing hints at classical music, ambient soundscapes,
and minimal music. Indeed, some sonic details are barely within earshot and the
narrative used to meander without blasts or crackles. However, all the
aforementioned stylistic firmaments are contaminated with evil-sounding stances
and visages. Instead of outer space it is rather music composed for the
visualization of abandoned junkyards and nuclear test territories foreboding an
impending catastrophe coming out of there. Ironically, it is fairly beatific
and arching composition at its core. Less is more...imaginative.
He Is Watching Over Us - In Defence Of Disgusting Animals (2007)
/Indie folk, Folktronica,
Lo-fi, Post-rock, Epic, Art folk, New Weird Sweden/
Comment: He Is Watching
Over Us is the Swedish duo of Erik Gröndahl, and Johan Mattson whose 8-track
instrumental issue is a calmed down, even picturesque moving with the
assistance of predominantly restrained arpeggios and organically successive
chords enchanted from acoustic and electric guitars which are varicoloured with
droning organs and diffuse electronic explorations, and some anthemic orchestrated
panoramas on the top. Stylistically the whole has been managed in a way to
meander between post-rock-ish ambition, folktronic crispiness, and lo-fi-esque
cosiness. The collective`s melancholic nature is very appropriate for listening
to it recently, as the summer has passed by and the autumn just began. Least
but not last - there is no disgusting animals, though, animals need to be
protected more with strenuous activity.
Ambient Fabric – Messages (2010)
/Noise, Glitchtronica, Sound art, Ambient, Organic electronica, Experimental techno, Abstract, Industrial electronica, Avant-garde, Experimentalism, Avant-electronica/
Comment: Oystein Jorgensen
aka Ambient Fabric`s 4-track issue is an intriguing one due to experiments with
considered noises, ambient sounds and incisive crackles, hisses and pops and
innumerable combinations of them. The Norwegian`s album embarks on with a modest
noise attack stepwise rendering into digital raining intensively pouring out from
every slots and orifices. The other tracks are similarly sustainable as well,
though, providing a little different aesthetics through abrasive manipulation
and wide-screen panoramas blended sonic alchemy, glitch-y techno de-construction
and exposing into something truly uncanny, and restrained but menacing
industrial-tinged electronic insights. At times Jorgensen`s handwriting is
fairly minimal dwelling somewhere in between Kaffe Matthews and Pan Sonic. In a
nutshell, the whole is overwhelming in its dystopic, machine-centred
appearance.
