PICKS OF THE WEEK:
- | EPISODE 190 | TAGLIABUE [Sonidos Subterraneo]
Italian eclectic sound engineer, electronic musician and DJ based in Milan, Joseph Tagliabue with a refined, immersive and mind-bending cross-pollination of Ambient, Progressive and Trance sounds, he’s well-renowned for.
- Avignon, France drone /experimental /post-rock /tape loops /electro-acoustic /ambient sound artist A LAST PICTURE FROM VOYAGER “The Golden Age” from the album “LABORATORY” [Stellar Frequencies]
A resonant, imaginative and contemplative itinerary, each track a case study using different techniques, of mesmerizing electroacoustic craftings, both evanescent and profoundly vivid at the same time, which unfurls, all-encompassing and immersive, free from contingent realities, to conquer boundless spaces with newfound ingenuity, at times cold and haunting, at others warm and comforting, yet always radiating with crystalline and dazzling sensorial reflections of timeless inner harmony and entrancing creativity.
- Berlin-based UK bass /grime /dub /breaks /techno producer Cressida Rust “Rust” off V/A “Incurables 01″ LP 12” [Inveterate]
British producer is dizzyingly evolving his Techno sound with an increasingly off-center and electrifying approach, through a disheveled and adrenaline-filled groovy alchemy of Techno, Breaks, Bass and Hardcore. His latest intense, propulsive workout, bouncing amid harmony, dissonance and clangor, unleashes high-pitched frequencies piercing the veil of secret whispers into a heady buzzing soundscape of rapidly pulsing and rolling ritual crisp broken beats, deeply quaking, swelling basslines, scattered booming percussions, scratchy frenzies, and ghostly industrialized echoes, lighting a darkened chamber with hypnotic fascinations of high-energy dancefloor moods.
- German dark ambient /dub-acid /experimental soundtrack techno project, HIGHDIKLUMP “Crows”
Experimental soundtrack techno project from Germany (seemingly Abu AMA‘s side project), introduced by a brief rush of crispy ritual percussions and buzzing frequencies with advanced crow harsh cawing communication, unfurls in a heady and immersive, subtly dubwise slowed pace, imbued in lingering impenetrable and tense edged dynamics, merges simmering profound bass pulses, doomy low droning blows and sneakingly light jingling tinny hi-hats, to explore inner esoteric doorways of alertness and perception.
