Cicely Irvine ~ Excavation
A September-soft light flutters around Cicely Irvine‘s Excavation. The new season brings with it a new start, a new day. The golden music of Excavation awakens in the Fall. Summer has gone, but its ghost still haunts the air. The

Guenter Schlienz ~ Peace
Pacified tones flow out of Peace. In the key of sweet love, higher notes float on translucent, ever-calm waters. Occasionally, a soft, undulating bass will accompany them, drawing near and walking beside them. Peace is more than just an absence

Mantle ~ Quiet Music
Quiet Music drifts on and on. At first, low-flying drones give birth to deep, dense textures which hang ominously up above, but they barely ruffle the still air.

Steve Pacheco ~ The 4th
If music were ever to become visible to the naked eye, Steve Pacheco’s mesmeric The 4th would sport a pair of soft, silvery wings, a supple skeleton and a crimson heart pumping love, only love, into its veins. The 4th seems to defy

Sonic Entrails ~ The Doxey Boggart Original Soundtrack
“ In English folklore, either a household spirit or a malevolent genius loci inhabiting fields and marshes” The Doxey Boggart is shrouded in a thick, pungent drone-fog and eclipsed by a family of gigantic, aged trees. Indistinct voices swirl around in the depths of the woods – a

The Green Kingdom ~ The North Wind and the Sun
The North Wind and the Sun is a record of deep clarity and calm, looking out at the world with a pair of bright green eyes. By largely abandoning his electric guitar and taking up more traditional acoustic instrumentation, The Green Kingdom (Michael Cottone) reinvigorates and enriches his music,
