Evan Gildersleeve ~ Wake

Kronos Quartet & Mary Kouyoumdjian ~ WITNESS
We last encountered Mary Kouyoumdjian with 2 Suitcases, which told the story of a couple fleeing the Lebanese Civil War. The subject is greatly expanded on WITNESS, which pairs the composer with Kronos Quartet. We consider this a major work: startlingly relevant, meticulously researched

Valotihkuu ~ Drifting Between Seasons

Grand River ~ Tuning the Wind
Those familiar with Grand River‘s All Above – one of our top electronic releases of 2023 – may be surprised at the timbre of Tuning the Wind. But Aimée Portioli has always been about more than electronics. Tuning the Wind is a grand experiment
