” +/- is a two-track 30-minute lush synth exploration by the Kiev-based artist. Dramatic tempo shifts, devilish arpeggios and bittersweet synth sounds are at the core of this gem of an album.”

Electronic, ambient electronic, progressive, synth

Don’t be lulled into a false state of quietness…..

Ale Hop | Apophenia
Buh Records (LP/DL)

Ale Hop (Alejandra Cardenas) is a Peruvian composer, based in Berlin and Apophenia (her sophomore effort after 2017’s Bodiless) is my second-look introduction to her work. Much of what Cardenas brings to the table are intriguing a/v eye of the mind processed through video and performance.
