Piano Piano Listening Retreat in Basilicata, Italy
La Cosa Preziosa (Susanna Caprara) is an Italian sound artist based in Dublin, producing soundscapes for performance, radio, and installation. I can enthusiastically recommend her series ‘The Secret Soundscape Club’, miniature field-recording soundscapes sent by email, on the last day of

Anatole ~ Emulsion
One minute into Emulsion, something unexpected happens. After vibraphone, snare drum, and acoustic bass build alongside a lulling piano motif, a breakbeat groove slices through the arrangement. In its wake: a choppy piano loop and thumping, gridline percussion. Despite its early

Yodok III ~ This Earth We Walk Upon
This Earth We Walk Upon has a lot in common with last week’s Super Bowl. Nothing happens for quite a long time, leaving the highlights bunched up at the very end. But after analysis, we realize that a lot was happening

Hugh Marsh ~ Violinvocations
The first thing people will ask upon hearing this album is, “Where’s the violin?” Trust us, it’s there. But Hugh Marsh has spent decades defying expectations, and he’s not about to change now ~ especially because it’s been a decade

bvdub ~ Explosions in Slow Motion
One doesn’t listen to a bvdub album as much as one experiences a bvdub album. Brock Van Wey’s releases tend to be expansive in sound and generous in length. Explosions in Slow Motion fills four sides of vinyl and at 77:32, pushes the edge of

Silmus ~ Laaksum
If Google Translate is correct, laaksum is the Frisian word for salmon, a metaphor for swimming upstream through the challenges of life. The title is apt; in the opening moments of “Laaxum” (the track), we can even hear the water. Netherlands musician Silmus continues to release

As Nocebo is the second of a trilogy, we’re traveling back in time to start with Isthmus. Two years ago, the Iranian duo of Nima Aghiani and Sara Bigdeli Shamloo (9T Antiope) released their second album as part of Eilean Records’ winter slate. The
