Boris Berlin ~ Soundtrack for an Imaginary Film
The title may be a cliché, but the music is not. New York composer Boris Berlin has simply been bold enough to use the phrase. And so, yes, this is the soundtrack to an imaginary film (with an actual plot), but it’s

John Kameel Farah ~ Between Carthage and Rome
Toronto composer John Kameel Farah is a multi-disciplinary, intercultural artist who seems to excel at everything he does. Not only does he play piano, he adds electronics and orchestral instruments. Not only does he compose, he also produces elaborate ink drawings. His

Yannick Dauby ~ tsi̍t lâu tsuí 一流水
Yannick Dauby‘s latest soundscape is not a typical field recording; louder and more immediate than the average effort, this vinyl excursion amplifies the sounds of shore and sea beyond what the naked ear is used to hearing. As a Frenchman

Nickolas Mohanna ~ Phase Line
Nickolas Mohanna has operated in many fields, from drone to modern composition, but Phase Line is his wildest work to date. The album began as a sound installation, and includes the angular, manipulated output of “electronic billboards, kiosk stations and traffic control devices”.

Natasha Barrett ~ Peat+Polymer
This one has it all: intercontinental field recordings, sledding children, vocal manipulations, soundscapes, excursions in drone. Natasha Barrett has been called “Norway’s most prominent composer of electro-acoustic music,” and on the basis of this double disc, she’s earned it. Peat+Polymer isn’t just

The Helen Scarsdale Agency: Fire and Ice
“Some say the world will end in fire,” writes Robert Frost, “Some say in ice.” A pair of new albums from The Helen Scarsdale Agency represents both viewpoints: Jim Haynes‘ Scarlet the former, Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson‘s So Long the latter. As I write

Abre Ojos ~ Fracture
We open on the shot of a priest, but it doesn’t remain benign for long; the head splits in two, a demonic voice erupts, and the entire screen fractures, reflecting the title of the DVD. Abre Ojos clearly has a bone to
