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

If Strangers ~ Kookooland – with an interview with sTia [CES Records]
The fourth iteration of the If Strangers project continues to refine a methodology that has, since its inception during pandemic lockdown pedagogy at the CES school in Tbilisi, treated collaboration less as dialogue than as circulation. Tracks are not so

FH HF – Rewind / Hey, Can I Pick Your Ears?
There’s something deliberately unstable at the core of Rewind by the Georgian artist FH HF. It resists the fixed shape of an album, instead unfolding as what the artist herself calls a “blindly intuitive collage”—a work in flux, driven less

Charbel Haber ~ May a soft sun bless your sky while you wait for the inevitable
There is a quiet contradiction at the heart of May a soft sun bless your sky while you wait for the inevitable, the latest work by Charbel Haber. It is an album that breathes in softness while exhaling inevitability—holding beauty

Taroug ~ Chott
Deeply rooted in place rather than merely referencing it, Chott, the latest work from Taroug, seems to emerge directly from the landscape. Named after the vast salt lake of Chott El Djerid in southern Tunisia, the record unfolds as both

Monoconda ~ Shadow Shades
Some artists move forward by subtraction; others by return. On Shadow Shades, Monoconda does both. Stripping away the layered architectures of his recent work, he returns to the guitar—the first instrument he ever played—not as nostalgia, but as a recalibration.
