Angelina Yershova ~ CosmoTengri
We all have some idea of what the words “shamanistic” and “ritual” mean in the context of music, and in general they’re associated to clear-cut rhythms and repetitive structures thanks to certain historical connections with the African diaspora. But Angelina

Audio Obscura ~ Gathering Silence
We love the idea of a field recordist wandering around the countryside, recording the sounds of old and long-abandoned churches. The album begins with a haiku from Ian Joyce: Microphone in hand, I sit inside the old church, Gathering silence.
