Hoshiko Yamane ~ Threads

Hoshiko Yamane‘s music flutters like a young butterfly, perhaps one just born. The Japanese violinist is based in Berlin, and she’s a current member of Tangerine Dream. On her third solo album, Threads, her violin sings with the positivity of

Goldmund ~ Occasus

The great leap forward for the development of the piano was that, unlike its predecessor the harpsichord, the volume of an individual note could be controlled by the weight used to hit the key (the name itself comes from pianoforte,

Rival Consoles ~ Persona

Third Eye Foundation ~ Wake The Dead

Electronic as opposed to acoustic. Urban rather than pastoral. Instrumental instead of vocal. Drums in the place of acoustic guitars. Third Eye Foundation vs Matt Elliott. There are a lot of differences between the two projects: there is still a

Library Tapes ~ Patterns (Repeat)

Sensitivity and sadness are often known to link hands, but it’s usually not done out of love, less a public display of affection and more like a necessary, binding union. Sensitivity doesn’t always equal an automatic brand of sadness, but
