Today’s Discovery – Campo Cercano (Near-field) by Mene Savasta
This is a little different to my usual Discoveries as it does contain songs but it just caught my ear this morning and it is composed, arranged, produced and played by Mene Savasta, an artist from Buenos Aires.
“It is an intimate and experimental album where songs and freer compositions merge in an integral way. My voice and keyboards are orchestrated with soundscapes I recorded over recent years. At Campo Cercano, Mene Savasta sang, played synths and programmed sequences. The remaining orchestration are fragments of the aural enviroment, recorded at different times and places with a portable recorder.”
Campo cercano (Near-field) was released as a website that offers an interactive visual experience – http://www.campocercano.com/

Not solely electronic. Much is Classical music and / electroacoustic but increasingly there are electronic elements in the compositions and a great introduction to Australian composers. Really recommend listening to the beautifully presented playlists.
Review Reblog – Katie Gately ~ Colors
Really recommend Katie Gately – Intelligent electro pop with an experimental edge.
Color is a glorious explosion of dance beats, percussive samples, and vocal layers, close to overload, threatening to topple like a Jenga tower. And yet, by her meticulous control and sheer force of will, Katie Gately holds it all together. One of the decade’s most creative artists, she’s managed to translate her avant-garde visions, formerly on display in quarter-hour works, to something even the masses may appreciate.
Let’s face it: pop music is in need of an overhaul, and experimental music can be wonderful, but all too often goes unheard. One thing that holds pop music back is the desire for a hit; one thing that holds experimental music back is the desire not to cross over. Gately exists somewhere in the middle, simply making the music she likes. A lifelong collector of sounds, her former work as a sound editor led her to the reorganization and presentation of sonic…

Review Reblog – Midori Hirano ~ Minor Planet
Courtesy to A Closer Listen for the reblog. Recommend and well worth you click through to the other releases mentioned.
We’ve always had a weakness for Sonic Pieces’ hand-stitched covers, shown below in an image borrowed from Sounds of a Tired City. Minor Planet contains an circle on the cloth cover to represent its title, but we’re simply going to call this “the new red one.”
The iconoclastic Midori Hirano cheerfully changes her sound from album to album. klo:yuri was an electronic album with stringed guests; the lovely Time Unbox, a collaboration with Ytamo released earlier this year, was an ambient/modern composition blend, wrapped in origami paper, containing occasional vocals. Minor Planet travels into space, imagining galaxies and stars. Electronics remain present, but are present more for adornment than tempo. The one constant is Hirano’s piano, present on each album as a connective thread, or in this case like the tether between spaceship and astronaut.
More than anything, Minor Planet is an album of texture…
