Guy Buttery ~ Orchestrations
It would be difficult to choose the most appealing aspect of Guy Buttery‘s Orchestrations. Is it the fact that a tree is planted for every purchase? Is it the international flavor of the 17 collaborators, who hail from ten different countries?

Antarctic Wastelands ~ Worlds: Collide
Four continents, seven tracks, eight guest stars, twenty-two minutes of music: Worlds: Collide is a crash course in ambience, the tonal opposite of the 1951 sci-fi film it references. The music shimmers like Cynthia Bernard’s cover art, and seven related images are

Solkyri ~ Cranebrook
The trajectory of Australian band Solkyri has been fascinating to follow. Debuting in 2011 with the EP No House, the post-rock quartet demonstrated a penchant for mixing generous amounts of strings, brass and glockenspiel into their post-rock, a welcome trend

Park Jiha ~ All Living Things
Park Jiha‘s last album, The Gleam, was experimental in tone, focusing on permutations of light. A unique combination of traditional Korean instruments: piri, saenghwang, yanggeum and glockenspiel, opened new sonic worlds to the listener, like blinds being opened to the sun.
