Bruno Bavota ~ Mediterraneo
When we last encountered Bruno Bavota, he (or a stand-in) was on a rock, staring out to sea. The new collection may be called Mediterraneo, but according to the composer, it is not about the sea. Bavota writes that it is instead about “warmth,

Alex Menzies ~ Order & Disorder
This may be the best soundtrack to a BBC physics documentary series you’ll ever hear. Of course, you may not watch a lot of physics documentaries, but if you’re interested, the Brits have them. And this is what one desires from

Ali Helnwein ~ Voyage
If you’ve ever wondered where all those chamber ensembles spawned in the wake of Rachel’s could have gone if only they had kept evolving, well, wonder no more, for Ali Helnwein has an answer. We’ve covered the composer’s music before,
