Our Take

Marcus Schmickler's latest offering, "Sky Dice / Mapping The Studio," is a mind-bending journey through the auditory cosmos. This album is like a sonic acid trip, with Schmickler serving as our intrepid guide through a kaleidoscope of soundscapes.

"Sky Dice" kicks things off with a cacophony of electronic blips and whirrs that sounds like a malfunctioning spaceship. It's chaotic yet strangely captivating, like watching a beautiful disaster unfold before your very ears. Schmickler's manipulation of sound is nothing short of masterful, creating a sonic tapestry that is both challenging and rewarding for the listener.

But just when you think you've got a handle on things, "Mapping The Studio" throws a curveball. This track is a labyrinthine exploration of the very essence of sound, with Schmickler deconstructing and reconstructing his sonic palette in real time. It's like watching a mad scientist at work, tinkering with his creations in a sonic laboratory of his own design.

Overall, "Sky Dice / Mapping The Studio" is a wild ride from start to finish. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a truly rewarding experience. Marcus Schmickler has once again proven himself to be a master of his craft, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of electronic music.
