Rutger Hoedemaekers ~ All the Good It Would Have Done

Behind this intricate and complex album lies an incredibly simple message: little actions can make a big difference, while the combination of little actions can make an exponentially big difference.  Rutger Hoedemaekers tested this theory by composing parts for twenty instruments playing at

Mathias Arrignon ~ Brief Elegy To The Pale

The prevailing tone of outdoor field recording has shifted over the years, from reflection and celebration to preservation and mourning.  Species are in decline, glaciers are melting, languages are disappearing and nations are being leveled.  A trip to Svalbard inspired
