Guy Gelem ~ Entirety
There is a heart-rending melancholia in Guy Gelem’s Entirety, an atmospheric sadness that grounds the whole album onto a reverent mood. “Letters”, the opening track, serves as a powerful introduction to a tearful state of reverie, hinting with its post-rock

International Contemporary Ensemble ~ On the Nature of Thingness

Wóma ~ Heofonwóma

Joseph Sannicandro ~ a sea without a port
Mexico City always comes up in talks about the largest human populations in the world, and it’s no wonder why – something like 22 million people sharing a common space does already sound like an outlandish 1950’s sci-fi projection of
