silvacrypt Easily one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a beautiful craft filled with nostalgia, glory, and pure chaos and madness. It feels like eternally falling from heaven through the lenses of Playstation and Windows XP. It feels like a depiction of chaos and wrath in a beautiful way, as if hatred and happiness were not mutually exclusive.

This album is absolutely fucking insane. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Favorite track: Memorex.

Michael Alan DeRuiter This cassette of riveting electronic soundscapes is excellent music to write code to, or meditate on the Tao, or astral project. Makes me think about how spatial reality is three-dimensional, but music and time are linear. Favorite track: Norns.

Euan Murphy Branton went beast mode on this one! Somehow this album manages to be both cohesive and the embodiment of the "never let 'em know your next move" meme. Favorite track: Chorus of Whispers.

about

A collage of augmented and naturalistic worlds built thorough the machine of interpreted folklore that is yet to be. Compositions created to blend the perspectives of 3 imagined beings struggling to free themselves from displacement and destruction.

Told through fragmented structures, blissful ambient passages, and barrages of noise, Built2Crawl captures worlds of generative landscapes into a single entity. Through a “self concrète” approach to composition the songs were sculpted and reassembled out of dense midi passages that were stitched together from long-form jams created using a number of custom maxmsp patches.

The album was inspired by early ambient records, 00’s console games, gritty high fantasy, and a section of the Interdependence podcast during a discussion on the struggle for Primacy.
