Our Take

Martin Brandlmayr's latest offering, "Vive Les Fantomes," is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the ethereal realms of experimental music. The Austrian percussionist, known for his work with the avant-garde band Radian, showcases his talent for creating sonic landscapes that transport the listener to otherworldly dimensions.

From the opening track, "Ghosts," Brandlmayr weaves a tapestry of intricate rhythms and ethereal melodies that draw the listener in, like a siren's call. The hypnotic beauty of tracks like "Disappearer" and "Erik Satie and my Piano" demonstrate Brandlmayr's ability to blur the lines between the organic and the electronic, creating a soundscape that is both familiar and otherworldly.

The album's title track, "Vive Les Fantomes," is a masterclass in atmospheric music, with its pulsating rhythms and haunting vocals creating a sense of unease that is as exhilarating as it is unsettling. Brandlmayr's use of space and silence is particularly effective on tracks like "Shadow" and "Circles," allowing the music to breathe and evolve in unexpected ways.

Overall, "Vive Les Fantomes" is a masterpiece of experimental music that is sure to captivate fans of avant-garde and electronic music alike. Martin Brandlmayr's visionary approach to sound design and composition make this album a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons.
