Arigto ~ Lungs

After a loved one dies, might part of their essence be inscribed in the objects they owned?  When the object is as personal as a beloved accordion, the case grows stronger.  When a member of Arigto happened upon such an instrument,

Sarah Bahr x Sound.Codes ~ Safien Album / Susana López ~ Materia Vibrante

Do you prefer music to direct you outward or inward? Even without words of instruction, our favourite artists cause us to investigate our innermost experience, or to interrogate the world around us. Two recent albums use drones as sonic probes

Richard Skelton ~ The Second Chamber

We’ve been covering Richard Skelton for so long that our earliest reviews appeared on another site.  While the composert’s sound has evolved over the years, it has retained an elegiac, heartfelt quality. The Second Chamber celebrates the 20th anniversary of

Sleep Number ~ Sunspill

This is the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. As followers have come to expect, it is also the day to uncork a new edition of VISUALS Wine’s Ritual

EUS ~ Completud

The origins of Completud can be found in last year’s Culminación del Bosque, which José Acuña recorded as Contradicta.  Opening tracks “Revelación” and “Espejo Divino” (“Revelation” and “Divine Mirror”) express a yearning for the Divine, and hope of eventual contact. In Completud, the

Summer is near, bringing the roar of lawnmowers, drowning the dawn chorus.  From push mowers to ride-a-mowers to massive multi-blade vehicles, the sounds are inescapable.  While many wear headsets (tacitly admitting that they are contributing to noise pollution), others prefer
