Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
Something large and operating with elemental forces, but then switching back and forth between kind and overwhelming. Something in the crossroads of techno, ambient, power noise and idm, in the world of dreamscapes and wonders. Beatiful record.
There is a new offering from Syntax, of whom I haven’t heard of since 2004′s Meccano Mind. There is this retro synth thing going on, now he produced an ambient side of that. Good vibe altogether, and the starting track Andromeda is especially catchy.
Listening to this album is always a mood and mind altering experience. The album cover is so eerie, makes me chill with goose bumps all over just by looking at it.
My favorite track is Take It Down by far, it has a very special and personal place in my heart. It will always make me wonder of an exquisite atmosphere where ghosts come to haunt the world but they make friends with people of the night and exchange stories of life and death.
There is this little girl sitting on one side of a seesaw deep inside a forest just among a little clearing in the woods when dawn barely breaks and light dimly illuminates the rising mist, and all she wants is to reconnect with someone from this world who tells her a good night story to be comforted by and leave with.
I love the idea of such a moment. We should connect between these states of being so much more.
Half casual background music, half beautiful compositions. Half IDM glitches and soft noizes, half soulful house. Perfect soundtrack for a rainy day.
OMG, this. Slow to mid tempo, deep basslines, and Chai is so beautiful. Something to re-listen many times.
KTL, a duo of Peter Rehberg (Mego) and Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O))) ) played almost an hour of massive drone noise in the sophisticated auditorium of Sónar Barcelona 2015. It was rather relaxing although not a breakthrough experience.
Collaboration between Ben Klock and Lucy. Deep minimal techno and eerie drone ambient on one EP.
Beautiful modern composition album with a post-rock and atmospheric ambient edge to it. The moment of standing at the edge of the world, looking at a calm post-apocalyptic scenery and just turning away to leave everything behind and move on.
I added this one to my playlist a few days ago and since then I haven’t listened to anything else just keep hitting replay. A captivating experience of deep space ambient, groaning noises and ethereal voices.
Amon Tobin himself has some things to add:
“I made these tracks a year or two ago after binge-watching space exploration films. People have, from time to time, described things I’ve done as “scores for imaginary movies,” which has always irritated me, but on this occasion it’s sort of true.
Even so, what I was really trying to do was to interpret a sense of scale, like moving towards impossibly giant objects until they occupy your whole field of vision, planets turning, or even how it can feel just looking up at night.”
So soft, so caring, embracing, music to be hold by.
