Yann Novak ~ Snowfall
Clocking in at exactly sixty minutes, Snowfall is a shorter version of a six-hour Los Angeles marathon performance. Yann Novak used photographs and field recordings to replicate the experience of a snowstorm, which must have been a fun experience for residents of the

Valiska ~ Shifts
Self-proclaimed sound artist Valiska has a rate of composition and release too prolific for us to keep up with. The latest in his line of intriguing conceptual works is an album that draws us away from the repetitious, human-made sounds

Esther Kokmeijer + Rutger Zuydervelt ~ Stillness

Scott Lawlor ~ Jupiter is a Cosmic Vacuum Cleaner
