E/I – ”explicit isolation” (mappa, 2024) – anmeldelse af Kristoffer Møllegaard Den polskfødte perkussionist og komponist Szymon Gąsioreks har gennem de seneste år foldet sig ud i adskillige musikalske konstellationer såvel som solokunstner.

By Macon Holt “If no one fits in,” said Martin Messell to me in his studio in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, “then maybe we don’t have to worry about fitting in.” We were talking about the concept behind his first album under his surname as an artist’s moniker, “Ligesom Rigtige Mennesker”.

Johan Carøe ”zenmetal” (No Technique, 2019) – review by Wieland Rambke There is something hypnotic about the sound of sound on warped tape: When the recording begins to warble, and both speed and pitch start stumbling, a sort of micro-tuning of time is taking place.

Peter Jørgensen ”Alt i stykker” (No Technique, 2019) – review by Giuseppe Pisano Along the years Peter Jørgensen has developed a compositional style that shares common elements with both the new wave of Scandinavian electronic ambient music and the modern-classical long form experimentations of either minimal-music composers such as Morton Feldman and more recent figures in the contemporary music panorama such as ...

ASUNA & Jan Jelinek ”Signals Bulletin” (faitiche, 2019) – review by Wieland Rambke Jan Jelinek is a legend of minimal music: For more than two decades now, the German producer has used samples, field recordings and modular synthesizers to produce gently pulsating music that feels organic, yet hi-tech. On and off through the last five years, he has been collaborating with Japanese ...

Interview by Mathias Ruthner Though having existed for more than 15 years, the forthcoming album, “Low Distance”, is only Deaf Center’s third full-length release.

Rex Kyed “S/T” (Infinite Waves, 2018) – anmeldelse af Kim Elgaard Andersen “At rejse er at leve” er nok et af de mest slidte citater på dansk.
