Stephan Barrett & Sylvia Hallett ~ River . Pathway . Static

The ever-popular daily walk (see last week’s Balgay Hill) takes on new meaning on River . Pathway . Static, as the performers introduce an array of instruments: whiskey glasses, spring box, mbira, bicycle wheel, bells.  We’re assuming the music was added post-field

Peter Knight & Australian Art Orchestra ~ Crossed & Recrossed

Music inspired by literature possesses an inherent depth, serving as the aural twin to prose: a pair of disciplines that each conjure visual images.  In two side-long pieces, Peter Knight & Australian Art Orchestra tackle two poles of geography.  “The Plains” describes

Heavenly Stems ~ Florals/Shell

Florals/Shell is a neat way to introduce a new project: two EPs, one on each side of a bright green 12″.  As a founding member of Trophy Wife, Ben Rimmer (now known as Heavenly Stems) is not entirely new, but his moniker

Kate Carr ~ dawn, always new, often superb, inaugurates the return of the everyday

The splendid title may sing of post-rock, but dawn, always new, often superb, inaugurates the return of the everyday is more accurately described as post-music; a set of soundscapes culled from London’s Bricklayers Arms roundabout and chopped into minuscule pieces.  The album
