Totakeke ~ Subjects of Assimilated Consciousness Vol. 1

Totakeke had an amazing run of releases on the now-dormant Tympanik Audio, which was a major force in industrial music from 2007-15.  We even reviewed a number of them for our former site.  When Tympanik went down, we lost track

Dragon & Jettenbach ~ Interesting Times

Yes, we do live in interesting times, although we don’t often hear that phrase; we’re more likely to hear of difficult times, challenging times, harrowing times.  The U.K.’s Dragon & Jettenbach split the difference, approaching their music from opposite corners of the

As another season begins, we open a new bottle of wine and place a new record on the turntable.  The music lands alongside the scent: electronic tones, pulsing and pure; cinnamon and plum, with a light undercurrent of pepper.  The

Manja Ristić ~ mnemosonic topographies of the Adriatic

Manja Ristić’s work is deeply rooted to a process of unearthing and distilling memory as a process of mnemosonic construction. No single sound used in her work comes unsolicited, estranged from its own political, historical, geoantrhopological entanglements. In that sense,
