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

鈥淔olksy, post-punk techno鈥� is how Resident Advisor describes the most recent work of 鈥渟onic polyglot鈥� Sockethead, the alter ego of Manchester鈥檚 Richard Harris. There鈥檚 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.
