[51bts032] Acousmatic - Experiments

Brice Moise aka Acousmatik is a French Sound Engineer. Brice discovered electronic music in  1995, being attracted by trance music, and then slowly moving toward techno, hardtechno, hardcore, drum&bass, electro, IDM...slowly becoming an "electronic music addicted". During  his studies as Sound Engineer, Brice started playing drum machines and samplers. Brice began to mix vinyls and this gave him the right enthusiasm in order to start composing as AcousmatiK. Brice composes with Reaktor or Max/Msp controlled by surfaces like BCR2000 and Lemur. AcousmatiK compositions are played live, in opposition with the "sit-down-mouse-like" approach, and this brings real life into all the Brice's songs.

AcousmatiK's music is characterized by complex structures flying from ambient to breakcore and idm. "Experiments" is constructed with a solid background of sounds manipulation, which indeed characterize all the Brice's compositions. "Experiments" is all very good but there are gems that is worth to comment. "Space trip" starts calm gradually becoming a mess of patterns: you
will slowly close your eyes and start shaping strange dreams. "Pipe" is simply a masterpiece of "experiments", sometimes reminding the former autechre's works. "Way out" is an emotional explosion. This album is a pleasant trip into the multidimensional space of electronic sounds. "Experiments" is an electronic experience that will certainly remain among the 51beats best choices ever.

[51bts035] Youarehere - As When The Fall Leaves Trees

MUSIC is our best friend. You look for IT when you need some relax. IT makes you happy. Sometimes IT forces you to dance. But only if you're very lucky, you feel like when in front of amazing Northern Lights, and you can experience the deepest side of MUSIC. Turbulence. Enthusiasm. Melancholy. Strong emotions. Even crying. Now youarehere, and May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. Always. Your voice. Always.

This 9-track album offers a fusion of styles reflecting the previous musical releases of its three members: the glitchy and powerful beats of micro, the wrapping, rhythmic patterns of edPorth, and the melancholy crescendos of French Teen Idol.

Second Thought - Another Setting Sun

"Another Setting Sun" is the final album from Second Thought, the previous recording name of UK musician Ross Baker. This album is the coda to a quintilogy of full length albums released between 2004 and 2011. Music of Second Thought has always stayed close to the concept of dream-like travel, troubled wordless travel, and organic journeys. For those familiar with Second Thoughts output, the sound of "Another Setting Sun" fall directly between "Purlieu" and "Leaf Pass". This makes sense seeing that much of the music here was originally recorded before "Purlieu" and finished around the same time as "Leaf Pass". The result is a varied array of moods, paths, and instrumental sounds. Each track is linked together with field recordings, bird sounds, and spoken word snippets. Layered above, is reverberated synths, classical piano, and subdued electronic rhythms. It is equal parts beautiful, ambient, and experimental. A fitting tale of warm endings and new beginnings.

'Another Setting Sun' is a history of my music from the earliest days of Second Thought through to the present. All tracks here are previously unheard, or have been unavailable for the best part of a decade. I hope you enjoy the album as much as I enjoyed putting it together and reliving all of these memories. A million thanks yous to everybody who's listened over the years. ~ Ross Baker

[S27-087] theAudiologist - Idios Kosmos

theAudiologist crafts the most tranquil and surrendering of sounds, these opining overtures tingle and twinkle with all the suspended charm and beauty of frosted ice sculptures, both dainty and delicate - alluring and arresting their sepia trimmed treatments tremble as though melancholic mirages of fragmented memories rippling through the ether, sweetly bitter in design and sensitive and spectral in texture… these twilight treats are best viewed in the stillness afforded by a nocturnal setting that way they are able to unfurl their shyly reclined persona.

[mhrk076] Kevin Bryce - A Blameless Land

Kevin Bryce is based out of Vancouver, Canada. Currently he makes electronic music that falls loosely into the ambient and downtempo genres. He has been making music since 1982. His latest efforts have focused on trying to express sonically the things that have influenced him throughout his life.

"I've always been amazed at the ability music has to capture moments in time. Listen to a song you haven't heard in a while and memories from that time will come flooding back, the people you knew, the feelings you had at the time, where your head was at, etc. Conversely, with some music, you can close your eyes and imagine things that have never existed. That is what I try to do with the music I make today. It is my hope that the listener will sit back, close their eyes and feel a sense of nostalgia for a moment that never existed, remember a scene that never happened.

I hope as well that this music will be played as background music. I hope it is just audible enough to be heard behind conversations, yet loud enough to creep into the conscious mind during a quiet moment.

Most of all, it is my hope that someone somewhere will enjoy listening to this music as much as I enjoyed making it."

The tracks in his debut release on Mahorka were inspired by nature and the time he has spent in the forests of British Columbia. "I think the dichotomy between nature and technology was the biggest influence on most of these works. "When I'm feeling really egotistical I like to pretend I'm like Proust documenting my own history in art, except using electronic music instead of literature. So these songs are personal vignettes in a way, moments from my past that I've tried to musically recreate."

[dystopiaq027] Ambient Anonymous - Twilight of Empire

Ambient Anonymous returns with his second release from Dystopiaq.

“The calm before the storm, the moment when summer turns to autumn, when rebellion turns to war…severed and stained with haematoxylin & eosin, analysed cells that watch with disinterest, as the prospectors stake their claims on Pipelineistan, as the limousine liberals preach genocidal austerity, as a fist shatters the gentle schooling of a thousand golden fish…our futile chains must begin to rattle, to rouse the slumbering barbarian at this twilight hour, before we become merely tourists of history, our names written on the walls of dead cities…”

(cut008) Σ-Fly (Sigmafly)Tetrachome EP

Sigmafly (Σ-Fly) is Manchester based Tom Holmes. Fresh from his incredible free EP on Essáy's Warminal label he's put together a blinder of an EP for Cut.

Taking the musical aesthetics from the likes of Boards Of Canada, Lapalux, Burial and some of our previous Cut producers like Great Skies or Essáy, Tom envelops all the great parts and ultimately produces his own emotive, melodic and beautifully deep take on the style.

With carefully considered layers of intricate sound, chimes, piano, vocal snippets and echoing percussion these truly crafted pieces of outstanding audio make for great individual pieces, but combined, as an EP you can really appreciate the value of his aesthetic.
