Kruder & Dorfmeister ~ 1995
In 2020, everything old is new again. Our hunger for nostalgia has burgeoned through reruns of classic TV shows, sports matchups and concerts. Artists have rediscovered abandoned styles. And in the case of trip-hop legends Kruder & Dorfmeister, the discovery of

Errorgrid: A Darker Sound of a Present Future
LA’s industrial-minded Errorgrid label launched in May, smack in the middle of the pandemic and an economic meltdown. In one sense, this was horrible timing, but in another, it’s just perfect. Billed as “a darker sound of a present future,” the label’s

Snowdrops ~ Volutes
Snowdrops combines the talents of Christine Ott on piano and Ondes Martenot, Mathieu Gabry on piano and mellotron, and Anne-Irène Kempf on viola. Volutes is music for a thoughtful season: subtle rather than overt, reflective rather than reactive. We’ll begin with

Julia Bünnagel ~ Sounds Like … Vienna
