Jake Muir ~ Campana Sonans
Not since Cities and Memory’s The Chimes has an album delved so deeply into the resonance of church bells; and Campana Sonans (Ringing Bell) has the dual advantage of being a single-artist LP and a physical release. One may even purchase a printed

Ziad Nawfal, Nour Sokhon and Stefan Christoff present Signals and connection [mix]
Early this year, we reviewed Nour Sokhon‘s Beirut Birds, which Richard Allen found to be “teeming with urgency, … an example of an album released at exactly the right time.” Another recent record, Beyond All Borderlines, is an evocative collaboration

Theresa Wong ~ Journey to the Cave of Guanyin
Good questions are always more interesting than their answers. “What does the cello sound like?” seeks a factual, closed response, which most of us could easily produce in fairly short order. Through her work, however, Bay Area-based composer and Guggenheim

Pavel Milyakov, Lucas Dupuy ~ Heal
It’s interesting when music with limited activity ends. The breaks between songs on an ambient album seem more jarring. There is often so little there to begin with. It’s too easy to let your mind wander. To lose track of
