Autistici & Justin Varis ~ Nine
It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a color-based release, the last being Machinefabriek’s Colour Tones. The new release from Autistici & Justin Varis is just that: an investigation of shades and tones, garnished with a diverse remix disc. The topical choice is

Pat Collins and Tadhg O’Sullivan ~ Silence/Sound
Where can one go to find silence ~ or at the very least, to encounter sound free from human interference? This is the topic of Pat Collins‘s 2012 film Silence, which finds an aural reflection here in collaboration with Tadhg O’Sullivan. The original

Troy Schafer ~ Untitled No. 4
Untitled No. 4 is the latest in a series of releases that are ironically titled Untitled. This irony fits the series, which continues to defy expectation. One cannot predict what each installment will bring, only that the music will be bold and
