Institute of Landscape Architecture ~ Melting Landscapes
Melting Landscapes is a success on all levels: concept, execution, presentation and sound. This being said, Christophe Girot (Chair) and the staff and students of Zürich’s Institute of Landscape Architecture would likely trade all of their artistic successes for political movement. Climate

Félix Blume ~ Death in Haiti: Funeral Brass Bands and Sounds from Port au Prince
Death in Haiti is in turns painful and exultant, drenched in loss and life-affirming. The cries of a woman who has lost her mother are nearly unbearable; the brass bands are triumphant to the point of being transcendent. This is the

Simon Šerc ~ Bora Scura
Since everyone has wind, one would expect to hear an overload of quality wind recordings. Yet the opposite is true. Simon Šerc‘s Bora Scura joins an extremely elite group, led by Lawrence English’s Viento and Daniel Menche’s Wind. Meteorologists, take note. Yet while everyone has

Philip Samartzis & Daniela d’Arielli ~ A Futurist’s Cookbook
Noodles, noodles, such wonderful noodles! I am getting hungry just looking at Daniela d’Arielli‘s photos, which cover the adventure from field to factory. And these noodles are not even cooked yet! There’s a purity in the process when seen from the

Anne Guthrie ~ Brass Orchids
Brass Orchids is a dense and unusual album, whose outer darkness disguises an inner light. On the surface, it’s a set filled with field recordings, drones and danger. Below the surface is Anne Guthrie‘s ancestry, apparent in piano pieces from the artist’s
