Animated Matter ~ Selkie
The concept album is a much-maligned tradition, but only because too many artists go overboard. Selkie is a concept album done right, with a simple premise based on a well known legend. From Scottish and Irish mythology to movies such as

Hauschka with Rob Petit and Robert Macfarlane ~ Upstream
Late last year, a gorgeous half-hour film appeared online, streamed by Emergence. Upstream is now back on the film festival circuit, and comes highly recommended, especially for those who enjoyed Esther Kokmeijer’s Stillness. The films share a slow-moving depth, an environmental tug and

The Tin Box ~ Play
