Whenever I go on a search of new music one of the many resources I use is www.discogs.com. Now obviously you can buy & sell music on Discogs but also if you like them on Facebook the Discogs team fire up Staff Picks on new music along with old.
Anywaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay…the other day I got led down the path to a group called Kiasmos. They are an Icelandic production duo consisting of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen.
I guess you would describe the music they make as experimental techno. It features found sounds along with classical elements that give their music a lot of emotion. It’s actually really beautiful stuff that is meticulously produced. Listening to it with excellent headphones is a great way of really connecting and immersing yourself in their productions.
If you have a soft spot for ambience as well as electronic music and soundtracks you’ll love these guys.
Have a listen to a track from their 2014 self-titled offering below…this cut illustrates what they do so beautifully.
