Voices surface from some buried frequency, trapped in tape’s amber, wind-blown and wordless, howling through Menche’s cartographic devotions and Coloccia’s stolen moments. Sharp textures meet the blurred surfaces of memory, water in all its states becoming the album’s temporal architecture: snow turning to stream, ice to echo, the past both fixed and fluid. These slow […]
“Gimme Coherence” surges with a need that feels both political and personal, a kind of cracked anthem for those trying to hold it together in a world designed to unravel. Jeff Tobias threads broken synth lines and guitar exorcisms through driving rhythms, his voice balancing warmth with urgency, clarity with a hint of fray. “No […]
Ellen Fullman’s Elemental View feels like standing inside a lucid dream made of tone. Performed on her monumental Long String Instrument in collaboration with The Living Earth Show, the work spans six movements that unfold with glacial clarity and architectural grace. It’s not just that the sound is immersive—it’s that the instrument itself is a […]
A shimmering push and pull runs through “Cirrus” from TL;DR and Peter Knight, weightless and grounded all at once. Directed by Melbourne-based artist and filmmaker Lola Hewison, the video moves in lockstep with the ensemble’s subtle intensities and long arcs, never drawing too much attention to itself but always shaping the atmosphere. You can feel […]
Zachary Good’s “Paco’s one hundred years” drifts with quiet power, each phrase a gentle gesture stretched across time. Four clarinets move in near-unison, their tones warbling just enough to catch the light differently with each pass. The repeating melody is both captivating and serene, a hypnotic reverie that feels like messages written in clouds, always […]
“Dawn,” the opening track from Jack Prest’s upcoming album Movement, unfolds with a quiet, glowing optimism. Centered around a gently ascending Moog arpeggio, the piece feels like first light slowly spreading across a landscape. Jason Noble’s clarinet drifts in and out like birdsong, while Clarie Edwardes’ processed orchestral percussion and Ben Freeman’s piano add both […]
“Idioglossia” moves with a nervous, luminous pulse, full of quick gestures and tightly coiled phrasing. There’s a tactile brightness to it, as if tiny signals are lighting up and fading just as fast, while longer melodic tones stretch across the frame like threads pulled taut. It feels animated but controlled, with an emotional undercurrent that […]
“TIAGDTD” is a slow hallucination, spiraling inward with a strange grace. Matt Bachmann builds a rhythmic floor that feels both meditative and unsteady, where Derek Baron’s minimalist drums and James Krivchenia’s congas form a kind of twitchy heartbeat under clouds of bass clarinet and flickering synth debris. The track hovers in that space between stillness […]
“Untimely Flowering Season” unfolds in an elegiac soundworld, where drifting synth drones carry a weightless kind of melancholy. Kuma shapes each phrase with subtle tonal shifts, like light filtering through layers of sheer fabric, always changing, never quite landing. The found footage in the video casts everything in a suspended glow, giving the sense of […]
