Metastasis ~ Dineba

Metastasis move through sound as if traversing an unstable dimension, where compositions emerge as temporary formations within a larger sonic flow. On Dineba—a title translating loosely as “flow” or “current”—the Georgian electroacoustic ensemble construct an environment in constant mutation, shaped

Réka Csiszér & Radwan Ghazi Moumneh ~ Le Révélateur

Originally conceived as a silent visual poem by Philippe Garrel in 1968, Le Révélateur emerged in the aftermath of the May ’68 student uprisings, carrying their disillusionment in a stark, non-verbal form. Shot in austere black and white, the film

Matteo Stella ~ Radeche Fonne

Matteo Stella’s Radeche Fonne resists the pastoral temptation that often shadows music rooted in place. While deeply embedded in the geography and traditions of the Marche region, the album refuses nostalgia, instead exposing the tensions that underlie rural life—its frictions,

Filippo Lilli and Ludovica Manzo ~ Abisso

Tackling seminal works can be either brave or reckless, especially when it comes to something as towering as Quartet for the End of Time. Neither an act of quiet courage nor a calculated risk, Filippo Lilli and Ludovica Manzo’s Abisso

Francesco Pellegrino ~ Wartime Monk

Francesco Pellegrino’s Wartime Monk emerges from a space where abstraction can no longer remain insulated from reality. Framed by the return of war as both lived condition and conceptual rupture, the album translates this pressure into a physical language: sound

Luigi Turra (Scores by Sylvain Chauveau) ~ Diastima

In Diastima, Luigi Turra delivers what could be labelled “the Chauveau variations”—not because he takes a foundational musical idea from Sylvain Chauveau and repeats it in multiple iterations, but because he departs from Chauveau’s graphic scores in ways that are

Nicolas Remondino ~ Hìeratico

On Hìeratico, Nicolas Remondino approaches sound as both matter and invocation, shaping an album that exists in a state of charged duality—light and darkness, presence and absence, the sacred and the material. Contrasting tendencies are constantly at play, balancing control
