Electronic Music Improvisations, Vol. 1 is the first full-length by Mute Records founder Daniel Miller and producer/engineer Gareth Jones, nearly four decades after the two began working together behind the scenes on releases by seminal Mute acts like Depeche Mode and Fad Gadget. They used the name Sunroof for remixes and tribute album contributions around the turn of the millennium, making appearances on Can's Sacrilege, A Homage to Neu!, and singles or remix collections by artists such as Goldfrapp, Pizzicato Five, and To Rococo Rot. Miller and Jones started working on modular synthesizer improvisations in 2019, and decided to record a series of concise pieces for an album, inspired by Chris Carter and Martin Gore's instrumental releases. Limiting themselves to a certain number of channels per piece and recording spontaneously without rehearsing, the duo came up with several tracks that alternate between darker vibrations and brighter, more melodic elements. The opening track is six minutes of creeping fuzz that threatens to suffocate, but then ends up fizzling to an end. The album's shorter interludes tend to consist of spacy buzzing and more abrasive synth textures, like the scattered swooping of "1.5 - 9.7.19" or the whining feedback loop and bassy modulations of "1.7 - 30.5.19." These tense, claustrophobic moments are balanced out by the more arpeggio-heavy tracks, which retain the rawness of the darker pieces, but seem more jubilant and exploratory. "1.4 - 18.6.19" is particularly bright and sparkly, approaching the blissful feeling of euphoric trance, minus the pounding rhythm. "1.6 - 7.5.19" has synth leads that soar and scream with delight, and end up tripping over themselves. "1.8 - 2.3.19" is the album's most cosmic moment, filled with jittery pulsations that equally express splendor and outer space loneliness. Having been in the game for ages, Jones and Miller remain as keen to discovery as they've always been, and their debut full-length is engaging in the way it constantly teeters between the familiar and the unknown.
