Review: WASH – Triptych

It always begins with silence, a blank page. Then follows a spark. Four minds combined, and the silence was slowly filled.

Limited edition colour booklet now available – WASH Triptych

The WASH collaboration is a blending of spoken poetry and music in a way you’ve never heard before.

Netlabelism Cast 20 – Trip Hop Mix

Trip Hop, Electronica, Bass Music Lush layers of glittering guitars interwoven with reversed loops, piano, synth lines, simple yet very effective. Nisei23’s album entitled elevenandtweleve was improvised entirely on an iPhone. Impressive creations on a single hand-held device and another quality release on the Rec72 Netlabel. A moodier affair by The Get entitled The Darkness […]

the art of living/water by Chhan Dina and Adrianna Snochowska

WASH: Organic grooves & multi-textured smoothies

A bicycle bell tinkles high above muffled chatter and the distant swoosh of street noise. A single note rings out, slowly reverberating into silence. A second note, lower this time. The pitch drops again, followed by… the rush of wind? The splash of waves, perhaps? A lone voice with sing-song lilt echoes the same tonal […]

Toaster - Theophany - Invisible Agent Records

Hypnagogue Reviews Theophany by Toaster

Toaster (aka Todd Elliott) tells a story in both song title and sound on his new release, Theophany. In my previous outings with Elliott’s music I often found myself looking for a point of entry, something to hang on to when things went a little far afield for my tastes. I had no such issues with Theophany. Maybe […]

Headphonaugh reviews Theophany album by Toaster

Headphonaugh reviews Theophany album by Toaster

I’ll admit Toaster’s “Theophany” was not what I expected. I thought I would hear his rather abstract big-sound, techno-inspired electronica … I didn’t … I don’t. “Theophany” is different because it is more about restraint. His techno-inspired electronic sound is definitely there but in a more relaxed, more ambient setting … and I, for one, […]

Hypnagogue Review: Zoid – Selected Zoidworks 05-12

I’m not sure how easy it will be for some listeners to get into and stay with the churning, jazz-informed, bass-synth-driven electronica on Zoid’s Selected Zoidworks 05-12. My first few listens were a little on the off-putting side, trying to catch hold of Daniel Jacobson’s unlikely tempos and unnatural musical angles as I was being repeatedly […]
