Hania Rani ~ On Giacometti
On Giacometti is a winter album of sorts, although an early track is titled “Spring.” The music reflects the season and space in which it was recorded: a winter residency snuggled in the Swiss mountains, where pianist Hania Rani worked on the score

Zoë Mc Pherson ~ Pitch Blender
I change shape all the time. This key sentence, located in the heart of “Lamella,” is the key to understanding sonic chameleon Zoë Mc Pherson. A lamella is a thin layer or membrane, suggesting fluidity, or the ability to shift

Kety Fusco ~ THE HARP, Chapter One
We expect some form of this sentence to appear in every review of Kety Fusco‘s THE HARP, Chapter One: leave your assumptions behind. These may include the opinion that harp music is boring, an association of harps with churches and a nagging thought

Grand River ~ All Above
Tears leak from Aimée Portioli’s eyes as she looks to the sky, surrounded by a cascade of water. Her left hand rests on her right shoulder, as if in supplication. When matched with the album title ~ All Above ~ and

Anna Salzmann & Garreth Broke ~ Healing + Hiding (Reworks)
Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to cover an album by a couple. Healing, from abstract painter Anna Salzmann and pianist Garreth Broke, is a pairing of eleven paintings and pieces, a doubling of miniatures. Hiding (Reworks) is a half-dozen re-imaginings of the track
