connect_icut ~ Small Town by the Sea
Having grown up in Connecticut in a small town by the sea, I was intrigued by connect_icut‘s new album title. After learning that the artist is from Vancouver, I was slightly disappointed, but the music won me over. This is connect_icut’s

In the Garden of Sonic Delights Part II: The Offsite Exhibits
Last week I covered the opening of a 15-installation exhibition and took in 10 of the projects at once. This week, I went looking for the rest. A four-hour road trip led to an art center, a garden estate and

Marvin Ayres ~ Ultradian Rhythms
The first release from Wall of Waves comes from multi-instrumentalist Marvin Ayres. Like 2012’s Harmogram Suite, Ultradian Rhythms is an orchestral suite in which Ayres plays all the parts, but so smoothly that one can picture dozens of string players springing to life.

Francisco López ~ Hyper-Rainforest / Yanayacu
The first thing one notices about these albums is that they have titles ~ an uncommon practice for prolific field recording artist Francisco López. The new label Nowhere represents a new approach, and the album titles are a noticeable way

Mai Mai Mai ~ Δέλτα (Delta)
My, my, my. This is the obvious response, but it’s the right one. Δέλτα (Delta) is packed with original sounds, presented in an original way. It’s a huge step forward for Rome’s Toni Cutrone, who made an impression late last

Derek Piotr / Mikah Meyer ~ Weather Patterns
The latest release from Ben Link Collins’ Silent Media label is another physical marvel. (The last one we reviewed was Pacific 231’s Micromega.) The snug black box contains 8 cloud images from Meire Todão, 7 poems from Derek Piotr and a CD

Franz Rosati ~ Ruins
The title of Franz Rosati‘s latest work, Ruins, is both literal and metaphorical. The source material is “field recordings, rehearsals, scraps and drafts” ~ sonic ruins, crumbled yet preserved. The album itself is meant to represent ruins in their architectural and emotional

Paskine ~ Nimrod
If the cover of Nimrod reminds our readers of Damien Valles’ Exposure, it’s because Paskine is responsible for both. The earlier album strode across snow, while the latest excursion delves into magma. Look closer and one can see black-and-white behind the green and red. Human
