Grails ~ Miracle Music
Seeing the “devotional” tag sneak back to the top of Grails‘ Bandcamp list, one knows to expect another shift. Since 2003, the chameleonic band has kept fans interested in their every move, while two individual members have thrown curveballs under

Michelle Helene Mackenzie & Stefan Maier / Olivia Block ~ Orchid Mantis / Breach
Portraits GRM’s ongoing split series continues with a pair of site-specific recordings from Michelle Helene Mackenzie & Stefan Maier and Olivia Block. When considered together, they operate as a meditation on nature, time and human intrusion. Each composition fills an

Andrzej Pietrewicz & Haiyue Zhu ~ #10
#10 is a departure of sorts for Andrzej Pietrewicz ~ a single 33-minute track that is more experimental than any of his prior work. While one can detect familiar timbres such as bells and breath, the field recordings are more prominent, and for

To Float Freely Away ~ An Interview with Zosha Warpeha and Mariel Terán
