Annea Lockwood ~ A Sound Map of the Housatonic River

A certain irony rests in the fact that I’m listening to the work of a New Zealand artist who traveled across the sea to record the sounds of a river near the home where I was raised.  Even as a

Yuco ~ I’m living in melancholy in the fog

Art often arrives in the wake of disaster as a swift response: an attempt to console quickly or to raise funds.  Meaningful art often takes longer to arrive.  In the immediate aftermath of trauma, the emotions run high and perspective is

Atilio Doreste ~ Dog In The Cave

Dog In The Cave is the first in a new series entitled “Limits and Derives”, and it’s a fascinating entry point for sound-searcher Atilio Doreste. A deep evocation of a close atmosphere, the low clouds sleeping over an exotic panorama and a

Daniel Menche ~ Raw Recording Series (Volume One)

For those whose 2013 resolutions included “listen to more field recordings”, this is a great place to start.  Oregon’s Daniel Menche has released a huge number of recordings in the past twenty years, including entries in the fields of experimental music and

Coterie Collective ~ Neck of the Woods

The Coterie Collective‘s Neck of the Woods may catch some downloaders off guard, albeit in a pleasant way.  The album’s Bandcamp page provides no indication that listeners are hearing but a ten-minute selection of excerpts from an 80-minute album.  And yet, a

Darren McClure ~ The Black Kite

The black kite is a raptor.  Yes, just like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.  Fish, bats, smaller birds and *cough* roadkill and garbage are their chosen prey ~ the latter “victims” have earned the species the cruel nickname “shite-hawk”.  But look

Nite Lite ~ Megrez

You can’t judge a book by the cover, unless what you’re looking for is the cover.  This cover calls attention to itself, and should feature strongly in any year-end art feature.  Thankfully, this is a vinyl release, all the better to showcase

Moulttrigger ~ Birds

It’s no secret: birds are kind of getting to be a worn-down trend in popular culture. Don’t believe me? I direct thee to the infamous “Put a bird on it!” skit courtesy of Portlandia. Once quotable and amusing, now ubiquitous and tiring,
