Dérive is the debut by Spätzer, a new project by emerging multidisciplinary artist Aiken Bömers-Muller. As generative-based compositions, Spätzer's sound designs balance the formalist traditions of ambient music with an insouciant kismet, creating compelling soundscapes that gently invigorate the senses. Bömers-Muller has done his homework Dérive conceptually draws on both Debord's Situationalist texts as conceptual inspiration, and his direct experience as a matriculated stage actor. After several trips to Berlin's MaerzMusik festival to participate in workshops and field recording, Bömers-Muller' work has evolved radically from his Bellingham-based folk indie band laughingstock (sic) and their 2017 full-length InchThank You, LaughingstockInch on Flat Field Records. One can literally hear this new awareness of the tensions between randomness versus structure, and intentionality versus emergence in these algorithmically-driven soundscapes. Some have described these creations as post-ambient. More precisely, they are soundscapes for the future.

Proc Fiskal's second album sees a reorientation of the source elements of his music. Where 'Insula' fed off samples of the ramblings of his friends and sounds of his hometown, 'Siren Spine Sysex' is laden with an inner voice of sampled Gaelic, Irish and English folk music, contorted and imbued into the futurist body of modern pop; the ghostly anima image of the female folk voice and the lamenting wheeze of the accordion rub against the rush of icey 808s and angles of Grime. Joe Powers' family history is in folk music, with several of his forebears active in the Scottish Folk revival of the 1960s. It's this cultural baggage - the Caledonian Antisyzygy of the earnest folk tradition he was raised in - alongside the modernist dance music he makes, that brings a personal element to the album. The music of 'Siren Spine Sysex' examines dance music as folk music, re-routing them both comparatively, with the wordless emoting of chopped and screwed Gaelic vocals leading to joyous pop songs like '8 Mgapixel See Thru Phone' and 'Leith Tornn Carnal'. Though fast and detailed, 'Siren Spine Sysex' feels relaxed and pastoral at times, it's edits and drums sensual, swelling, and reactive to the music, it's textures influenced by the tinny 16 bit flutes, strings, and wacky scores of gaming soundtracks.A1.
