International Contemporary Ensemble Performs Anna Thorvaldsdottir ~ AEQUA
What a treat to hear new music from Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir, teaming up once again with the International Contemporary Ensemble, who made 2015’s In the Light of Air such a delight. ICE has an obvious love for the composer’s music, drawing

Frank Horvat / Mivos Quartet ~ For Those Who Died Trying
Here’s something that shouldn’t happen, but does. One should be able to protest garbage being dumped in one’s village or the environmental effects of a coal-fired plant without getting shot. But dozens of people have been abducted or killed in

Nazar ~ Enclave
A few years ago, after one too many mass shootings, I stopped liking music that incorporated the sound of guns. Far too many artists were using violence as percussion, seemingly ignoring the mourners while desensitizing the ears. But now, thanks

A Closer Look: Unsound 2018
London. Berlin. New York. Krakow? Poland isn’t exactly the first place one associates with experimental music. Krakow is far from the bustling, cosmopolitan cultural centers, but it is nonetheless precisely this peripheral status that makes Unsound’s home-base so special. While
