Salamander ~ Neocambrian
Forest, jungle or swamp? The Perth brothers known as Salamander leave it up to their listeners to decide. I’m going to go with jungle, as Neocambrian is dense with native rhythms, wet foliage and the chatterings of exotic animals. The remarkable mastering produces a

Grzegorz Bojanek ~ Remaining Sounds
The title of Grzegorz Bojanek‘s latest effort implies sorting, attrition, deterioration. At one time, more sounds – perhaps all sounds – existed. Now, only these remain. In the process of composing, Bojanek distilled a batch of possibilities, settling on these distinctive sources. By
