JakoJako ~ Tết 41

Tết 41 is just about as fun as an album can be.  A celebration of the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, the album is bookended by field recordings, while it has an electronic center: a sonic imitation of a New Year’s

Anna McMichael & Clocked Out ~ Pas Plastique

Andrius Mack ~ Coastal Soundforms

Theresa Wong ~ Journey to the Cave of Guanyin

Good questions are always more interesting than their answers. “What does the cello sound like?” seeks a factual, closed response, which most of us could easily produce in fairly short order. Through her work, however, Bay Area-based composer and Guggenheim
