Leandro Fresco & Rafael Anton Irisarri ~ Una Presencia En La Brisa

In January 2020, The Guardian published an article summarising the historical appeal of ambient music and forecasting a renaissance for the genre. It’s an article the newspaper seems to rewrite every few years, ‘predicting’ the rise of ambient music in 2009,

Colin Stetson ~ Color Out of Space OST

The score launches with a creepy, gooey miasma, as if some lugubrious extraterrestrial force were seeping into our soil and souls.  And as a matter of fact, it is!  The glissandos and rustlings of opening set piece “West of Arkham”

Messell ~ Ligesom Rigtige Mennesker

As we review the year’s first releases, it’s fun to meet one of the first new labels as well.  And so we welcome Copenhagen’s Textur, whose initial release is a perfect reflection of its name.  To complete the trifecta, Ligesom Rigtige

Philip Samartzis & Eric La Casa ~ Captured Space

What is the role of wilderness in the imagination?  Is wilderness still wild if it is walled?  In a preserve, who are the captors, and who are the captives?  These are only a few of the questions asked by Philip Samartzis

Machinefabriek ~ Stillness Soundtracks II

When we talk about movie sequels, the consensus is that few are as good as the original.  Here’s one that is: Esther Kokmeijer’s Stillness – Brash Ice, Pack Ice, Growlers, Bergy Bits and Icebergs.  This stunning film is a marvel of cinematography,
