Ryonkt – Sea (2007)




  • Drone 
  • Abstract 
  • Minimalism 
  • Avant-garde 
  • Ambient 
  • Epic 
  • Electronic music 
  • Ambient drone

Comment: Ryonkt is a Sapporo, Japan-based Ryo Nakata born in 1984. He is being known due to his tenures to such imprints as Audiotalaia, Resting Bell, Dog Eared Records, Hibernate, Noise-Joy, Smallfish, Experimedia and some other ones. I have recently listened to some shows having spot on contemporaneous alternative pop/rock/indie/electronic music but I have to admit most of it chimes like listening to infantile poppy nonsense because it is so dull, sterile, predictable and hollow. By employing technological richness without spawned with poignant ideas. Ryonkt`s Sea sounds like a weirdly flourishing symphony, serious music if to juxtapose it with aforementioned ones. The one and only genuine stuff comes mostly through Bandcamp, web-labels, and underground labels today. Nuff said, however. I am not wondering anymore why the sales under the gigantic imprints drop down and at Bandcamp it will be rising up. These 928 seconds are indeed a contemporary counterpart of symphonic music through those descending and epically ascending droning oscillations which at times become freezing at one point like a refined reflection of still life. Doubly refined. In classical sense, it is tuneless yet there are somehow magnetising elements or inner synergy between sonic particles of the drone to conjure up a similarly overcoming and uplifting feeling. The mesmerising issue is a part of the discography of Noise-Joy.

Demons That Drove – Bakteria Type 6 (2007)




  • Noise 
  • Avant-garde 
  • Experimentalism 
  • Post-industrial 
  • Abstract 
  • Non-music 
  • Drone

Comment: this 7-track outing is something reflecting upon something being truly unique and primal and dangerous – the bacteria. Krister Bergman aka Demons That Drove has paid tributes for them. You can hear whistling drones and cicada-alike chiming and sporadic noisy outbursts like sonic filament of the bacterial nucleus code of Type 6. Of course, it is interesting to know what does mean every sound you can hear from it. Is it a certain characteristic of the bacteria or does it hint at a specific activity? These microscopic beings with puzzling taxonomy have been and probably still are the biggest threat to the race of human being. The antibiotics do lose effectiveness due to an over-consuming. However, the pattern of many bacterial and viral entities is visually stunning. Noise-Joy has been the domestic imprint for those depictions for years.

Fabrizio Cacciamali – When In A Crowd I Feel Lost (2007)



  • Electro-acoustic
  • Improvised music
  • Experimental electronica
  • Avant-garde
  • Glitchtronica
  • Dystopbient
  • Micronoise
  • Illbient
Comment: Cacciamali`s sound drifts along bleak labyrinths of electro-acoustic experiments, cacophonic impulses of glitch music, muffled noise explorations, however, all of that is wrapped up in illbient-filled vapour. Moreover, all of that described above used to subject to the formulae of improvised music. Pleasurable in its chirpiness. 

Emanuele Muro – Brokenline (2007)



  • Glo-fi
  • Electronic pop
  • Organic electronica
  • Soul
  • Art music
  • New Age
  • Alternative
Comment: Muro`s 3-track issue is an organic blend of calm chill out/glo-fi/New New Age undulations, almost elusive electronic endeavours, and touching soulful singing. In a word, Muro`s sound is autarkic (i.e limited with the aforementioned stylistic elements for to be interlaced with each other in a tight-fitting way) and the ultimate goal is achieved (the listeners can feel themselves to be fulfilled completely).
