One of the meatiest twitter streams I follow is that of digital composer Stephan Mathieu. His feed is always chock full of quality be it from him or otherwise. Video excerpt of his Virginals set at Steirischer Herbst is stunning, and so is his earlier Crónica selection “On the Concept of History“.

Two prolific names from the experimental electro-acoustic scene Peter Broderick & Machinefabriek has just released Blank Grey Canvas Sky on the Swedish Fang Bomb label. Spanning 6 songs and 43 minutes Blank Grey Canvas Sky is a meticulous embroidery of pianos, instrumentation and drones.

Archaic Horizon mostly spans the beatless side of electronica: ambient soundscapes, analogue melodic electronica and drones.
