It’s been a good week so far, even if I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of things I agreed to do without enough time to do them. I suppose that’s normal at this point, though. I’m also in the solo parenting zone this week, but that’s been filled with discussions about volcanoes, chicken […]

There’s anticipation and a sense of drama from the opening chord progressions of schntzl’s “Silk” echoes in the rollercoaster-ride video. Fading neon tinges the palette as tension builds into a combination of joy and wistfulness, searching for sentimental dreams around the next turn.

I am smitten with Karen Vogt’s new album, Le Mans. As I’ve long been a fan of her work, I was shocked when I listened to this for the first time. Her music is so often ethereal and weightless, built on layers of various instrumentation and, of course, her voice (Losing the Sea is a beautiful example). […]
No matter how far we travel, our worlds are quite small. Fragments of our spirit and our memories may spread across celestial distances, but our hearts inhabit little space. “Sessilia” – the first single from Laura Naukkarinen’s ninth album, 5 x 4, recorded on the famous Buchla 200 system at Elektronmusikstudion EMS Stockholm over five years […]
