This week, we'll look at five artists making deeply layered dense and hypnotic electronica. In the early part of the decade Minimalism, glitch and even chiptunes were a reaction to what became a pretty predictable set of recordings featuring 4 chord progressions and pedestrian beats. Now finding a new mix of drama and subtlety are Ed Drury, Melorman, Northcape, Bitbasic and Wordless Poem. I'm Jim Nye. We'll begin in Oregon with multi-instrumentalist and Didgeridoo master Ed Drury. This is 'Jawidge" Find a massive selection of his work at www.eddrury.com From Athens, Melorman creates melodies with granular ambience and chilled beats. This is the lush 'You Are'
