Bleep

A name as hard to track down as label host Light Sounds Dark’s, enigmatic composer Alexander Melzak has little to no information to his name — could he be a long-gone cult hero who spent his years toiling away at a DAW somewhere under multiple pseudonyms, or a hobbyist who poured his all into a perfectly stellar one-off electronic album? Either way, his self-titled debut(?) is a record to rival the kosmische pantheon, its synths shimmering, its arps ascendent, its popping beats a joy to hear. Underlying cosmic darkness rests beneath a great deal of these alien soundscapes.
