Upon seeing Daniel Crokaert’s cover art for VI, one thing is abundantly clear: this is the most bleached image in the extensive Unfathomless discography.  The shades bring to mind whitewashed walls and whale bones, the release number U91 blending into

Brandon Auger ~ terminal runner

As an avid collector of sea glass, I walk the shore in search of sharp edges made smooth.  But until this month, I had never heard of a parallel pursuit: the search for sea brick.  As he was recovering from

Okkyung Lee ~ just like any other day (어느날): background music for your mundane activities

There’s a German word for everything, and today’s example is Gebrauchsmusik – meaning ‘utility music’. This is music that exists not only for its own sake, but was composed for some specific, identifiable purpose. It’s a word that springs to

Kety Fusco ~ BOHÈME

Setting aside initial plans for a second chapter of THE HARP, Kety Fusco has forged forward with the full-length BOHÈME.  In a remarkable confluence, Iggy Pop (who appears on early single “SHE”) is having a moment, coming off the wild success of

Garreth Broke ~ Life Through Loss

“There’s no grief without love,” writes Garreth Broke.  Over the past few years, the pianist-composer has volunteered as a Trauerbegleiter, sitting with those who have lost loved ones and helping them to process their grief.  Such a position requires great

Ogenblik ~ Dúlra

For those who love to watch, tally and record birds, Dúlra is a tiny gem, a hummingbird of a release.  Last year, Ogenblik (Gregor Ruigrok) released the lovely ambient set, This Used to Be the Sound of the Future. This year the artist shifts

Riccardo La Foresta ~ ZERO, 999…

The cover of Riccardo La Foresta’s ZERO, 999… depicts an impossibly tall spiral tower vanishing into the sky, an aptly disorienting visual metaphor for an album that dismantles traditional notions of drumming. Here, drums are not rhythmic anchors but vessels
