Electronic Observations 2013 #4

It’s a real mixed bag this month, from treated field recordings, through the arrival of a loved-up Mike Paradinas to the discovery of a previously unknown side-project of Jaki Liebezeit, the legendary drummer from Can.  To be honest, I’d probably

Adderall Canyonly ~ Four Albums

Portland’s Adderall Canyonly (Wayne Longer) sent us two new albums to review, but when we saw that he’d released four in the last four months, we decided to check them all out.  That’s a lot of releases, but to his credit, the

CoH ~ Retro-2038

Russian-born, Sweden-based Ivan Pavlov (CoH) is an intensely cheerful performer and a sheer delight to watch.  After seeing him in concert, attendees can’t help but hear his music in a visual way.  His songs begin gently, with electronic pulses and

3+ ~ Your Small Story

Your Small Story begins as humbly as its title.  The art is unassuming, and for the first few minutes, the album dabbles in an unremarkable ambience.  But at the 3:04 mark, everything changes.  Strings transform the placid opener “Heaven of the

0.1 ~ The Dance of Mechanical Birds

Last year the impossible to Google 0.1 impressed us with “Softism”, the standout track on Feral Media’s tenth anniversary compilation.  The artist (also known as Bob Streckfuss) has now returned with a belter, a seventeen-minute track that unfolds like an electronic, experimental
