I’ve become such a massive fan of Joanna Mattrey in the last few years, and am fascinated by her approach to improvisation and her principal instrument (viola). There are so many things I hear and feel when listening to her records. Sometimes it’s the open, exploratory spirit she follows; other times, a cathartic, emotive core […]

Let me know how you approach these things! A real barn burner for the pick of the day, too. Wednesday episodes […]

There’s a decent chance this will be the final Capsule Garden for the year, but I’m not quite ready to call it and have hopes for one last installment next week. But if this is it, 41 of these columns in the space of a year is pretty incredible if I can pat myself on […]

Lola de la Mata KOH – Klee – uh (SA Recordings) Kicking off SA Recordings’ single series, The Hearing Experience, Lola de la Mata’s tactile, introspective “KOH – Klee – uh.” The piece, based […]

Visceral scenes become sonic assertions in her hands, the ambient drift churning out mountains of pensive tension cascading toward a heaven promised in our better days. Once the moment hits, as it always does in her […]
