Steve Parker’s live oak tree died the way his father died: slowly, despite care, despite hope, despite diagnoses that sounded too much like oncology. Now the tree performs its own requiem at Ivester Contemporary in the exhibition, Funeral for a Tree, where Parker has transformed its trunk into playable records encoded with the songs of […]

There is something beautiful in paying close attention to the sounds and movements of activities we often do. Rituals exist in so many places we don’t notice. Somatic Steamed Eggs is a collaboration between Rachel Beetz and Heidi Ross that finds profound depth in one of cooking’s most elemental gestures. Since 2023, the two have […]

I will probably never settle on whether I want to publish this recap article in December or January, but I have gone with the former this year in an effort to really take a break from the site for a few weeks this time. It’s been a wild year. Everything feels unstable, or at least […]

Inside No. 9, Season 4, Episode #49: 2025 in Reflection This year I have spent more time in bargain bins and secondhand stores than buying new music. That doesn’t mean I haven’t kept my ears open to new releases, but it was definitely a year for dusty vinyl and ancient CDs. That said, it was […]

Davide Cedolin’s music makes a home in the spaces between memory and landscape. The sound of wind through trees becomes indistinguishable from the gentle pull of a bow across strings. With Ligurian Pastoral Vol. II, he deepens his exploration of rural Liguria’s quiet territories, bringing accordion and synthesizer into conversation with field recordings that feel […]

British South African composer and producer Galina Juritz has spent years moving between worlds: classical training and jazz improvisation, Cape Town and London, the precision of notation and the freedom of electronic production.
