Sergio Sorrentino & Machinefabriek ~ Vignettes

Machinefabriek is enjoying another prolific period, having recently released collaborations with Banabila, Celer and the Kleefstra brothers, among others.  We can imagine a TV show called “Everybody Loves Rutger”, in which a different experimental musician might drop by every week

The Meets ~ It Happens Outside

What’s your idea of fun?  Might it be to record 20 musicians who play everything from wind chimes to congas, rearrange their sounds, and send the whole thing over to Nick Zammuto (The Books) for mastering?  That’s exactly what Brandon

Richard Chartier ~ Interior Field

Rattlesnakes ooze out the poison of increasing white noise. Fangs of a different nature echo out the dark thunder of a stuttering growl caught in the throat. The vibrations shimmer as much as they hover, creeping forward with a sense
