Delphine Dora, Bruno Duplant, Paulo Chagas ~ Onion Petals As Candle Lights

We last heard Delphine Dora on her solo piano album, A Stream of Consciousness, and the new album is about as far afield from the former work as can be imagined.  No, it’s not Nordic black metal, apologies for underestimating your imagination!  The

Here’s a sweet confection for the fall season: a resonant score for a short animated film by Jamie Mills.  We’ve only got a minute of the film for now, but the rest will be released as part of a physical

Olan Mill ~ Home

Alex Smalley (Olan Mill) has always had a flair for modern composition, although his productions have typically landed just within the border of ambient.  On this release, he transcends his former tonal limitations by adding an array of organic instruments:

Frédéric Nogray ~ Buiti Binafin

Buiti Binafin may be a field recording, but it’s also an attempt to drive home a deeper message: that Earth’s natural soundscapes are disappearing by the minute, and the world’s chroniclers may need to step up their pace.  At the same

Pillowdiver ~ flames

“Shut your eyes and you’ll burst into flames.”  This warning was first made famous by the Log Lady in Twin Peaks, and later became the name of an alt-rock group; now it’s the title of a new 13-minute drone piece from

Tiny Leaves ~ What We Dream Of

It’s nice to have friends, especially when one is new.  Tiny Leaves (Joel Nathaniel Pike) is accomplished on his own, as evidenced by the previously-reviewed Get Yourself Up On a High Mountain; his ambient work is complimented here by the remix contributions

John 3:16 ~ Visions of the Hereafter

It comes as a slight surprise to learn that Visions of the Hereafter is the first full-length album from John 3:16, but it turns out that all of his other releases were collaborations or EPs.  So congratulations, Philippe Gerber, you’ve earned it!  It’s

Saåad ~ Confluences

We last encountered French duo Saåad on Sustained Layers, a collaboration with like-minded artists EUS and Postdrome.  We’ve since had the pleasure of reviewing the latter artist’s solo album, and now it’s Saåad’s turn.  Confluences is a commissioned work first presented in front of the
