Myths are unearthed here and rebuilt into something entrancing and immersive, so much so that it feels like a memory. Mexico City composer and producer Nnux (Ana E. Lopez Reyes) creates an excavation site from sonic rituals on her latest album, Metamorfosis. Inner worlds are explored through historical silhouettes, sound working as a mirror. Aqueous […]
Songs of Our Lives
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Concepcion Huerta!! She’s got a fantastic new album out, “Nothing Remains Everything Resonates,” on July 3 recorded at EMS in Stockholm. We talked about that, resonance and signal paths, and the magic of every day sounds. Then we get into her love of Cumbia, Psychic TV, […]
The Capsule Garden
This is the first time in a while that I’ve managed to get two Capsule Gardens out in a month, and considering everything else that’s been happening in June, that’s a miracle. As ever, thanks for reading, and thanks for the support. New Morning Sounds recordings were shared recently. The Jewel Garden continues ahead with […]

Kate Carr records cities as people usually only experience them, as a specific body moving through a specific space. It’s personal and partial, and on Vertical London, that partiality is the point. Vertical London is her experience of the city from bottom to top on a particular day (New Year’s Day, in this case). It […]

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ben Vida! I can’t overemphasize how much of a fan I am of Ben’s work generally, and especially his latest album, “Oblivion Seekers.” It follows-up the brilliant “The Beat My Head Hit,” and as ever, there is nobody working with language in the way Ben does, […]
Sometimes things that don’t make sense actually make perfect sense. Ever hear a movie? Or watch a soundtrack? There’s an implausibility and disconnect there that still, somehow, is engaging and transgressive. Lifted, the duo of Andrew Field-Pickering and Matt Papich, distill that into their newest record, Movie. Six tracks where Foley bleeds into melody, and […]
I was fortunate enough to meet some fantastic people when I relocated to Switzerland. Before the move I emailed Dave Phillips (as I knew he lived there part of the year) who recommended an art space/collective, bookshop and performance venue called Humus. Soon after I moved I went to see a live show and was […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s zakè! For expansive ambient music, he and his label Past Inside the Present have become my go-to. He just released his second collaborative album with marine eyes, “Still Beauty,” and celebrated the 20th anniversry of his first solo album. There’s so much to take about! Then […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Bob Holmes! I had a great time chatting with Bob about the new incredible new SUSS record, “Counting Sunsets,” a staple in my listening the last couple months. We talked all things Across the Horizon as well before getting into Glen Campbell, Brian Eno, The Monkees, […]

Blak Saagan’s (Samuele Gottardello) monolithic Un Sequestro Lungo 10,000 Anni is one of 2026’s most audacious projects. Five years on from his last album, the Venetian composer delivers a 108-minute, triple-album opus, complete with an illustrated book featuring over 180 drawings by Iranian artist Majid Bita. This is an intensely personal work, creating a dystopian […]

When I first heard Zeynep Toraman’s work (her debut, In A Dark House), something about how she builds this profound stillness into her work stayed with me. It is music that, more than anything, creates space. I’ve been interested in her approach and thought processes behind these creations for a while, and her newest offering, […]
