Elizabeth Alker shares new ambient and experimental music of varying moods and atmospheres.

“Folksy, post-punk techno” is how Resident Advisor describes the most recent work of “sonic polyglot” Sockethead, the alter ego of Manchester’s Richard Harris. There’s an abrasiveness and darkness to the music, in which disturbed textures vye for our attention. In Birmingham, the classically-trained percussionist Emily Jones has leant her craft to the production of electronic music with her debut release as Echo Juliet, a layered dancefloor bubbler in which synths, samples and rolling thumb-piano ostinati invite us into a flow state. And Californian composer-musician Joshua Steinbrick offers introspective improvisatory piano-playing, sequences of chords and melody, delicate and sparse, that flit like thoughts across a clear mind.
