Open Mind, Open Planet: Gigi Masin’s Favourite Albums
As his cult classic 1986 album Wind receives an expanded reissue, Italian composer and ambient pioneer Gigi Masin takes Siobhan Kane through his life in 13 records The renewed interest in Gigi Masin’s 1986 album Wind has taken the Venetian by surprise. He sees it as “strange and wonderful… I am really happy and honoured”. The expanded album, reissued by Numero Uno 40 years later, recontextualises Wind as an ambient gem, but an appreciation for Masin started some time ago, with artists such as Björk referencing his work, sampling ‘Clouds’ on her 2002 song ‘It’s In Our Hands’. Growing up in Italy, playing the guitar and working in radio, Masin was exposed to lots of different kinds of music, but his life...

A Dream Within a Dream: Manifold of Partially Actualized Realities by Randall Dunn
The American composer, producer and audio engineer warps time and space on a slow-burning album that riffs on Philip K. Dick's "orthogonal" temporalities Photo credit Charmaine Lee Imagine your entire life, your entire world, being dreamed into existence by a creator who, night after night, gradually gives shape to your being, only to discover that he, too, is someone else’s dream. This is the premise of Jorge Luis Borges’ short story ‘The Circular Ruins’, after which Randall Dunn christened his Brooklyn studio. He’s the man behind the production of some of the highest peaks in experimental metal, from Earth’s The Bees Made Honey in the Lion’s Skull to Sunn O)))’s monumental Monoliths & Dimensions, via Old Man Gloom’s Light of Meaning and...

Silverwingkiller – Desperate Struggle
Silverwingkiller Desperate Struggle Manchester duo's second album feels like inhabiting a video game – from the perspective of a non-player character DESPERATE STRUGGLE by SILVERWINGKILLER On ‘Worldstar’, Silverwingkiller’s arpeggiators resemble the swirl of evil slot machines, a rigged jackpot ringing above breakbeats and blown-out electronics. The duo say its pulse comes from a loop of 1970s Somali disco. Across five tracks, Desperate Struggle feels less like a collection of regular songs than a series of playable locations: stations, street corners and checkpoints. It’s a post-cyberpunk carnival, closer to the multicultural streets of the video game Jet Set Radio Future than an exoticised East reflected in Western mirrorshades, with those once reduced to scenery grabbing hold of the camera in the Reality Studio. There’s a particular... The post Silverwingkiller – Desperate Struggle appeared first on The Quietus .
