Thanks to Stationary Travels I got a Mental Exfoliation and my Discovery Today is the sublime Nhung Nguyen & Cinchel – Movement of an Old Soul.
“…the perfect mix of the old timey and tinkly ambiance of electronically treated piano and music box, and perfectly blended, guitar fed, spatially mellifluous drone.”
Couldn’t have put it better Stationary Travels
A listening journey with four albums composed of intricate electroacoustic textures, field recordings, and emotional undercurrents. Immersed in these mild sonic abrasions and vivid soundscapes, the mind can exfoliate… José Soberanes – The Rising Tide “In The Rising Tide, José strived to create something that would reflect his feelings of loss, anxiety and hope during what was […]

Great overview again of a very eclectic artist.
This is not totally different for me but last month I accepted the challenge, like many others, to listen to and write short notes on an album a day during February 2016. I thought I would post up these here as part of my Todays Discovery theme.
Not in any order of preference here are the next 5 –
Proving melodic instrumental electronic music is not ear candy –
Experimental avant garde electronic noise. What a great combination
Dark experimental voice noise…
Mesmeric wormhole sucks you in…
Like drifting on the Marie Celeste, in a good way…

Not in any order of preference here are the first 5 –
Beautiful Introspection…
Rhythmic electroacoustic / field recordings with a sense of place and culture.
Glitch DJing disparate sounds into a cohesive soundscape
ARS SONOR – TRANSIENT / ETERNAL
Awakening drone…Space with a barbed wire edge
One to watch in 2016 –
“With her lunging rhythms and deliciously retro melodies, Akane Hosaka catapults us into a world of gleeful wallabies and drummer-boy monkeys.Her discovery of music came through song, and only later led to instrumental experimentation.References to her early influences, the 60s and 70s precursors of electropop, are deliberate, there for all to see: Raymond Scott, Perrey & Kingsley or Yellow Magic Orchestra. Nevertheless her true inspiration is from the visual world and lies in graphic forms and architectural fantasy:Keiji Ito, Archigram or Bruno Munari.For her, these images evoke musicthat she then sets about transcribing.Naturally reserved, she’s a perfectionist in her work. Seeing her in the studio is like watching a blacksmith in the smithy, as she bends her music into the required shapes.
Her compositions are like pastel-coloured soap bubbles in extra-bright Super 8.”

‘in the cities of dust’ a magnetic beauty sized in rough Diamond … for you.
Trained to noisey & punk rock, she offers us 9 pretty soothed thumbnails of pure beauty.” (David Teboul / Soft Recordings).
Something challenging and expect the unexpected from Agnes Pe and Raisa Maudit.

Catchy, courageous, happy, outrageous and mentally intriguing, with a big hand pulling out rabbits from the mad hatters hat full of ideas; this is some fine crazy shit! It’s as if pop had taken a deep dive into a bathtub full of liquid speed, neatly absorbed through the poppy diva skin and now became fruitfully alive in all its finest insanity.
And you know what? It’s a perfect case of a production that puts the ‘super’ back in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
There is singing, there is dancing and it’s adrenaline rush and worth the nervous breakdown of pure entertainment! Raw and spectacular! After this you’ll be glad to change your name into Jodido; so better start practicing, and tune in:

Ten years ago today,the first Xylitol album was released, originally on 3″ CD and recorded at various locations in the boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich. Now it is available on Bandcamp
Electronic, disco, electronica, minimal, hauntology, synth, punk, rhythmic noise.
Xylitol is also known as DJ Bunnyhausen and has some great mixes on Mixcloud, like this one –
SYRPHE has a new website with articles, gig lists and this piece –
Feminism in electronic and experimental music, the failure of most Westerners.
Interesting perspective here and a wonderful insight into what artists are creating in other parts of the World, namely Africa and Asia. I have cited Syrphe on many occasions as a site that tirelessly promotes the creativity of artists in the electronic and experimental fields and the original playlists that I had on 8Tracks were based on the discoveries that I came across via Syrphe. The 8Track playlists I am in the middle of replicating on SoundCloud but this exhaustive list will add to the roster of artists I have linked with from not only Africa and Asia but also South America.
Finally, I recommend you read this article and discover for yourself. It’s great that there is an index of many of the under represented artists as well as the more known.
Here is a recommendation from last year but it still stands –
Todays recommendation from the Syrphe label is this wonderful sampler of Far East Asian experimental electronic artists and I shall be discovering more in the coming season but in the meantime –
