M. Sage ~ Data in the Details

Regular readers of ACL might remember this excellent mix from last year, Half-Speed Flourish by Matthew Sage.  He played back old orchestral LPs at 16rpm, recording the result and mixing them together, giving us a window into his creative process and

Tallesen ~ Stills Lit Through

Let’s start with the video.  “Strike Silver, Love Green” has been circulating since July, creating anticipation for Tallesen‘s debut album.  The track title and visuals invite listeners to imagine Stills Lit Through as a colorful, synaesthetic experience.  The slow-moving abstractions operate as paint

Mondkopf ~ Hadès

Mondkopf‘s Hadès was released in February but has finally hit its proper season.  This album is no secret; it has sold out at source, and one has to scour the net to track down the remaining vinyl and CD copies.  It’s worth
