empreintes DIGITALes in Under the Volcano

It is a great pleasure to be able to write about some of the recent music coming from Canada’s premiere new music label, empreintes DIGITALes. During the past decade, empreintes DIGITALes has consistently issued some of the very best electroaoustic music being made. Unlike the recordings I often review from labels like Mego, Soleilmoon, Trente Oiseaux etc…, those issued on empreintes DIGITALes are, for the most part, made by classically schooled composers who have studied composition at major universities and have been involved with academic musical explorations for many years. These are fully composed works of musique concrète, pristinely recorded and beautifully presented. So, if you are even slightly interested in the new wave of experimental electronic music pouring out of the US, Germany and Austria, I strongly urge you to find some of the music presented here. This is the real deal. Suffice it to say that you will be blown away.
