Geneva Skeen ~ Dark Speech

Dark Speech is a highly unusual recording for Dragon’s Eye ~ the opening minutes sound like the antithesis of the label’s typical release.  With a nearly-industrial rush of sound, Geneva Skeen introduces herself to the masses.  Only later will she relent.  Vast sheets

Izabela Dłużyk ~ Soundscapes of summer

This is perhaps the sweetest story we’ve heard all summer, and it arrives as the season is starting to slip away.  It’s the story of a young woman born blind who falls in love with the sounds around her, begins

E and I ~ The Colour of Sound

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from E and I (Emmanuel Witzthum and Craig Tattersall).  Their last album was on the sorely missed Cotton Goods label; the only thing we don’t miss about Cotton Goods is the tiny print runs.  Eilean Records

Various Artists ~ Texture Series Volume One

Forgive the followers of 1631 Recordings if they look a little worn out. The year-old label boasts 75 releases, and as production really ramped up around November or so this amounts to almost two classical, experimental or ambient albums a

Bethan Kellough ~ Aven

Aven refers to that which is hidden, yet still is heard: underground shafts through which air reaches the surface.  Fascinated by Iceland’s natural geothermal activity, Bethan Kellough recorded the subterranean rumbles and upper-level hisses, and augmented them with wind recordings made in Iceland and

Koen Holtkamp ~ Voice Model

The word “percolate” is used to describe the year that passed between recording and release, but it’s also a fine word to describe the beginning of this bubbling album.  The opening minutes sound like waking up, stretching one’s arms, and

Saåad ~ Verdaillon

Saåad did not set out to make a “church organ album”, or even a spiritual album, but that’s what happened when they were given access to the Puget pipe organ in the Church of Notre-Dame de la Dalbade.  It’s just not
