If you look back through their catalog, you’ll find nothing but groundbreaking releases and key artists who are creatively shaping the current scene. From *ACCIDENTAL MEETINGS*—a pivotal collective based in Bristol driving innovation in the scene—comes the debut album from IVM TRIO, a trio formed by three artists who are each active in the avant-garde electronic music scene as solo artists! The album features “Preamble,” a punk-infused electronic track grounded in intricate computer music while incorporating Sebastien Forrester’s improvisational drumming and an ambient atmosphere that makes full use of negative space; “Strippp Maze,” which adds dub elements to that foundation, and the hardcore punk track “This Heart is Determined Not to Shatter,” featuring vocals by Korean artist bela. This is avant-garde computer music that encompasses abstraction and introspection, ranging from sharp, bullet-like metal to dreamlike ambient sounds. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
