Dead Ambient is organised chaos as electronic music — or perhaps more appropriately, bordering-on chaos. It's a continuous folding, then refolding, of recycled material into threads that twist around one another in a kind of linear collage — a brutal origami. You'd be hard-pressed to explain exactly what is occurring from moment to moment — pure repetition is scarce, and noticeably striking when deployed — but Dead Ambient doesn't suffer for this. There is a consistent logic to these arrangements and forms that doesn't feel overwrought, or laborious.

Be they composite facets of 'classic' ambient, corroded hi-def sound-design, net concrète, or more immediately identifiable vocal detours, all the materials are smoothed and contoured into vibrant passages. Certain segments hearken back to the sublime cacophony of Berlin’s Janus, while others call more to mind the textural fascinations of other producers operating out of ‘Australia’.

Those familiar with r hunter’s prior output will be treated to an upscaling of the scope toyed with on rrrrrrafael. For those of you who haven’t yet ventured into this territory, Dead Ambient easily sits outside the catchall musical connotations of both ‘death’ and ‘ambience’. There are clear allusions to the departed, be...  more

Perth-based artist lia t has an ear for capturing quotidian detail and making it feel special. At the very end of 2020, she released sketches222 on Deep Water, a collection of wistful ambient etudes that contained dozens of field recordings, mostly taken during the producer’s time in Osaka. Earlier that year, she also collaborated with Copenhagen-based artist Perko on mini-album highlight ‘Grounds’, a stunning 2-minute snapshot of the inimitable sounds that make up the city.

Her latest release, and opening track on Music Company's forthcoming Vector Fields Vol. 3 compilation, is a little different. Whereas ‘Grounds’ channelled the hum of the urban environment, ‘Sweetapple Lane’ is a more celestial affair—the aural equivalent of an aeroplane ride through a cloud. The track opens with a field recording of passing traffic but it quickly dissipates. Gradually, the piece thickens; the synths intensify and several other electronic elements drift in and out. It’s a noticeable expansion in scope from the producer’s music to date but it doesn’t sacrifice any of the intimacy that makes both sketches222 and ‘Grounds’ feel so personal. It’s more like being able to listen to someone’s thoughts as they fall into a daydream. That sense of reverie is heightened by lia’s clever use of field recordings. The producer bookends the track with them. In the last 30 seconds, she reintroduces one—this time nearer water or a beach—to bring the track slowly back down to earth. It’s these familiar, everyday sounds that add to the song’s quiet grandeur; they make it that much easier to get lost in its many overlapping folds.

lia t - ‘Sweetapple Lane’ is from Music Company’s Vector Fields Vol. 3, out May 28th. All proceeds will go to Firesticks.

Nutcase & Papachubba feat Petah - Floating Inside (STW Premiere)

The jungle was thick and dense, a deep sea of green engulfed their pathway as they wandered between tall trees, wild shrubbery and delicate flowers. It was warm in the midst of the forest, they had been told it might be by those who had come before them. From time to time the wild songs of birds would echo and dance amidst the leaves up above, there were no creatures to be seen but they were certainly there, watching over them as they passed through the thick. Soon the sun would set upon this remarkable place, they would be plunged into darkness as the wild things danced all around. 

Pandit Pam Pam is the moniker of São Paulo electronic artist, Eduardo Ramos. He is set to release a new record on Music Company, a dreamy experimental collection of synthesizer focussed tracks for deep listening. He describes the record as follows...

“I recorded mostly in deep summer in the countryside. Surrounded by trees and lots of sun. I was looking through the window at a small gathering of lemon trees and orange trees.”
