“soundscapes is a pair of waveform explorers who like to experiment with compositions, arrangements, sequences and non-sequences..” The new Slovak project, emerging from the Bratislava techno and underground electronic scene, that has revolved around two clubs in the city – Fuga and the A4. soundscapes’ “Tides of Voltage” is a dark dronetastic soundscapey three-track EP, epic and exploratory, echoing the likes of Raime, Haxan Cloak or Shackleton. The band’s name is inobtrusive, prefering to blend in the environment, rather than stand out. And the music, in a way, mirrors this – a chillaxed soundscapey ride through droney electronics, rhythm-based and hypnotic. Though several parts are promising, with a potential to further develop on their upcoming releases.
