Paolo L. Bandera – Riconnessione Iconoclastica Sacrale
Raffaele Pezzella’s consistently astounding Unexplained Sounds Group is perhaps the best-curated label covering dark ambient and ritualistic music. They present former Sigillum S member Paolo L. Bandera’s latest release, and present notes originally posted from the Bandcamp release site here: “Paolo L. Bandera (a.k.a. NG5361) has been propagating unconventional sounds and Continue Reading
Brume – Reality Is Not Enough
I am proud to say I have been a fan of Brume, Christian Renou‘s nom-de-guerre, for well over 30 years now. He was one of the first experimental musicians who captured my ears, and through all the formats he ever published (including DAT, which I would love to see made Continue Reading
Scanner – Alchemeia
Prepare yourselves for January 19, ten days from now! The legendary Scanner (Robin Rimbaud in real life) has a new album out, “…a tribute to the early 1960s library music culture, applying crude techniques of electronic composition, using a mix of hardware and software. It explores a kind of musique Continue Reading
Valerio Cosi – The Aqueduct Walk
Valerio Cosi is an Italian composer I’ve had the pleasure of following for many years online, but this is the first time in a while that I have seen his work commercially available. It is a fine example of musique concrète, and is active enough to keep you engaged throughout Continue Reading

Drones, pulses and the sounds of Burgas, Bulgaria, are blended to produce an immersive soundscape. Continue Reading
Léa Boudreau – Limaçon

It pleased me to see that they are putting up their albums on Bandcamp, and I ended up being doubly rewarded by finding a composer who is new to me. Léa Boudreau describes herself, Continue Reading
Various Artists – Anthology Of Experimental Music From Latin America
Our friends at Unexplained Sounds Group continue their ambient and experimental music travelogue series, this time concentrating on wonderful Latin America. From their Bandcamp site: “After almost 6 years from the latest compilation focused on experimental music from Latina America, finally Unexplained Sounds Group publishes a cd release including, in Continue Reading
Odeya Nini – Ode
Los Angeles-based composer Odeya Nini is a marvel to listen to. She uses her voice and body to full effect as an instrument and composes profoundly interesting contemporary classical music, and whose works are radical enough to fit into musique concrète. If you enjoy the works of Meredith Monk or Continue Reading
EYRYX – Psychological Projective
There aren’t too many releases that seamlessly blend electroacoustic music, post-Industrial and noise-rock, but to their credit, EYRYX seem to have straddled this very thin line perfectly. The release features friend of our blog, Philippe Gerber, who not only performs on the album, but who released it on his Alreon Continue Reading
