communion
“. . . a fluid changing organism that is astounding even after repeated listening,” is the sentiment echoed by many when describing the music of communion. Incorporating elements of minimalism, industrial, gothic, tribal, cyber, spoken-word and just about anything else into improvisational sonic experiments, communion creates a world unto its own—tongue-in-cheekily described as “improvindustribalgothicyberambient” sounscapes. Open your minds, those who listen.

freelectrons (the project)
With tracks that individually dance on the experimental fringe of electronica, wherein various musical styles flow freely in acoustical intercourse, mixing the rigidity of electronic music with the dynamics of live and improvised performance, and the sweet surprises of musique concrete , freelectrons’ music is one to gain either respect or scorn, either love or hate, and perhaps nothing in between. Collectively, their self-titled, full-length album, featuring Elizabeth Taylor Crews on vocals, is one part uptempo, two-parts downtempo, three parts free. . . freestyle that is!

TransmeTa
Sound chaos. Noisy yet peaceful, distant yet close, dreamlike and passionate. . . this is the sound of TransmeTa, whose sound is Chaos, whose Chaos is music. To capture that moment when minds meet and the corporeal follow, TransmeTa produces tracks as fast as it could. More interested in capturing the purity of chance in the “first pass”—the original idea—TransmeTa makes mistakes while recording. . . and keeps them. Inspiration. . . capture it quickly when you can. Don’t sleep on it. For when you wake, it dies. Generators: Six & Anthony
FOAM
Do you dance with the moon to the voices in your head? This may be the perfect soundtrack for it. Disregarding the beatless, sonic shrapnel some tracks FOAM produces a strange dance with such secular mechanism, peculiar phrasings and passages, and unsettling sampled-voices and eclectic beats. There’s a new world out there, one without idols, where everybody dances to the strange trance of the FOAM crew.
