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,

rhein_strom ~ von der rheinquelle bis hafen karlsruhe

“Would you recognize a river by its sound?”  This is the question posed by Lasse-Marc Riek and Thomas M. Siefert (rhein_strom), but the question is much less interesting than the execution.  Why?  Because the answer is “no.”  Not all rivers

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.

Joseph Sannicandro ~ a sea without a port

Mexico City always comes up in talks about the largest human populations in the world, and it’s no wonder why – something like 22 million people sharing a common space does already sound like an outlandish 1950’s sci-fi projection of
