Foxy Digitalis
Foxy Digitalis has been back for just over two years now, and I find it difficult to get my head around it. Throughout that period, though, the core idea and drive have remained the same, even if the pieces and structures have shifted somewhat. I’m excited the site launched a handful of new columns and […]
What more can I say about Lawrence English? He is one of the finest people working in contemporary and experimental music, whose artistry is only outweighed by his generous spirit. In a year where he released one of the finest slabs of conceptual drone and his label, Room 40 (full disclosure, one of those releases was my own), continued to […]

I’ve already written about Patricia Wolf’s excellent “The Culmination Of” in the review of I’ll Look For You In Others, but this video from filmmaker Edward Pack Davee beautifully captures the liminal spirit of the song and the deep, […]
Savvas Metaxas has been on quite the run lately with releases on LINE, Granny Records, and Flaming Pines. Each piece of music Metaxas creates has a life of its own, treading new ground in similar spaces with an air of exploratory wonder woven in the foundational sonic fabric. His music swims in moving textures, always taking listeners into […]
There’s a real magic that happens when someone is able to not just translate the spirit of a song into a visual form but also add a new dimension of expression to it. Venezuelan artist and designer Pablo E. Peña P. programmed a generative algorithm that takes “Springtime in Croatia” from Patricia Wolf’s See-Through into an enchanting […]
I love when I ask an artist to make a mix for the site, and the end result is something that manages to embody the underlying spirit of their own work. Brazilian composer Carlos Ferreira’s discography is vast. His music is pinned to the surface with subtle force while the ends drift skyward like loose […]
Patricia Wolf’s debut, I’ll Look For You in Others, was a heavy meditation on the all-encompassing, evolving nature of grief, but See-Through, her second album, exists in the fields beyond. There are still hints of that contemplative spirit here, but it’s buoyed by playfulness and mystery. Wolf’s pristine sound design sings as ever on these 12 pieces, […]
Like the open spaces between blurred dandelions on the cover of Patricia Wolf’s debut, I’ll Look For You In Others, the experience of grief is a bewildering maze that can seem endless and impossible to navigate. It can flit between feeling like a slow-motion dream and an out-of-control descent into an oddly-alluring void. Processing all of […]
