Lasse-Marc Riek ~ One Hour As Trees In Finland
What’s it like to be a tree? For humans, the answer is nigh unknowable. Our sense of time and perspective is skewed toward the immediate. We are seldom rooted. Our internal rings are not concentric. Wendell Berry writes, “If we

The Unfathomless Series: artificial memory trace, David Vélez & Bruno Duplant
The Unfathomless series (the younger sibling of the Mystery Sea label, currently on hiatus) returns with two very different soundscapes: a night in Australia’s Garig Gunak Barlu with Slavek Kwi (artificial memory trace) and a “dilapidated mass of sound” from

The Sly and Unseen ~ The Crossley Heritage
When it comes to making cool collector’s editions, Wist Records is one of the finest. Their jackdaw series (each one a book-sized envelope containing the music and various ephemera) returns with The Crossley Heritage, offering recipients some history along with their

S/QU/NC/R ~ OUA_BF
Once in a while, we receive a sonic document that breaks the boundaries of art and becomes important in other arenas: historical, political, personal. OUA_BF is one of those recordings. Without the background, it’s an engaging piece, but with the background,

Christina Kubisch & Eckehard Güther ~ Unter Grund
Many of the water-based recordings we receive are beauty-based, calling to mind vacations by the sea, meditations by the river, the sweetness of summer rain. Christina Kubisch & Eckehard Güther‘s Unter Grund is different: historical, political and metaphorical, it prompts the listener

Taavi Tulev ~ Rand/Beach
To some, Rand/Beach may seem out of season, released in the heart of winter. But when the blinds are closed to the white, and a fire dispels the cold (currently 1F/-17C), the sounds of the shore are evocative, enticing and hopeful.
