*Press A* ~ Wonder Wickets, Katana Zero

Stijn van Wakeren ~ Wonder Wickets Wonder Wickets is a cheery mini-golf game with a happy soundtrack to match, taking cues from party games and underlined by a Japanese-game-soundtrack melodic sensibility that makes it just shine with color. Its classicality

David Chalmin ~ la terre invisible

This has been a good year for glockenspiels and chimes, which have graced such tracks as Dolphin Midwives’ “Temple V,” Quentin Sirjacq’s “Variations” and Snow Palms’ “Everything Ascending.”  Now Paris’ David Chalmin expresses his love for the timbre, while investigating numerous others
