As if hearing the pieces of a puzzle fit together, the layers of bernhard fleischmann's "aube" join in sequence to build the slightly western-flavored e-beat/guitar-strum/weird electronics/soft-vibes mixture that it is. Very cool!
I've heard good things about arovane; "plecq" (10:05) proves those rumors to be true, striking an intriguing balance between pretty and gritty. Plucky little notes spiral all around, peppered with crunchy microrhythmics, then halfway-through, converting energies into a different form, plusher and just as lovely.
warmdesk's cacophonous-though-short
"duskier" precedes the slightly-more-orderly "encaustic" whose beat-driven buzzsaw wails and electronics experiments give a whole new meaning to "industrial arts".
Blink-and-you'll-miss-it "W. rem 1" (0:06) is the first offering from
köhn; more ear-time is given to "S. (for hubert)", a buzzing vortex of inscrutable substances which is threaded with low tonal progressions, then even more oddly, soft vocals over a static-infested symphonic slur.
wang inc.'s more-subdued "sadness for the numbers" indeed drifts through an obtuse melancholia of slow-motion accordian sounds, slow throbs and strange birdlike interjections, becoming somewhat more urban-beaty as it progresses.
"soft and round" from laurent pernice delivers an enticingly murky backdrop of bassy pulsations, decorated with random chimes and softly scattered piano notes.
