Grzegorz Bojanek ~ Remaining Sounds
The title of Grzegorz Bojanek‘s latest effort implies sorting, attrition, deterioration. At one time, more sounds – perhaps all sounds – existed. Now, only these remain. In the process of composing, Bojanek distilled a batch of possibilities, settling on these distinctive sources. By

Ubik ~ Circadian Rhythm, Sleep Disorder

The Green Kingdom ~ Incidental Music
Incidental Music is one of the most relaxing albums we’ve heard in a while, inspiring a state of alert calm. This is the entire point of incidental music: the sounds used in movies to accompany important, less obvious scenes. These pieces
