Indian Wells ~ No One Really Listens to Oscillators

No one really listens to oscillators, claims Indian Wells.  Okay, we’ll take that as a challenge.  The title track, like many of Pietro Iannuzzi’s pieces, starts with a recognizable melody, then gently mutates.  This is a common theme in trance, which nudges listeners

Caterina Barbieri ~ Spirit Exit

The introduction of vocals to an artist’s oeuvre is a selling point for larger audiences, and a challenge to instrumental-based sites.  Spirit Exit includes Caterina Barbieri‘s first use of vocals, yet it is not a vocal album.  Instead, the artist (who scored our

Akusmi ~ Fleeting Future

Given all that the world has been going through, it’s refreshing to encounter someone who has remained optimistic.  Pascal Bideau is Akusmi, his moniker suggesting acoustic, albeit with an international tinge ~ exactly what one will hear while spinning Fleeting Future. The album

Smileswithteeth ~ Blueberries

Summer is blueberry season!  Smilewithteeth‘s new EP captures the carefree feeling of wandering in the brambles, choosing the juiciest bits and putting the rest in a kerchief or basket.  The ebullient music also carries a tone of transition from lockdown

Ginevra Nervi ~ The Disorder of Appearances

A quick glance at the cover photo provides the impression that Ginevra Nervi is an intimidating eight feet tall, striding forward.  Look again ~ she’s standing still, and her shawl provides the illusion.  This is The Disorder of Appearances.  In like fashion,

Ralph Heidel ~ Modern Life

Ostensibly Ralph Heidel is a saxophonist, but saying that is a bit like calling the Super Bowl a football game. On the evidence of Modern Life, the 28 year old’s second album, he’s an extraordinary young performer, composer and improviser

700 BLISS ~ Nothing To Declare

“I don’t like 700 BLISS… they’re always talking about the end of the world… it’s so dark… is this even music?” (700 BLISS, “Easyjet”) “Is this even music?” is probably a comment you have heard in the past, whether it
