Last Ex ~ S/T
“Well, great,” said Simon to Olivier. “Now what are we going to do with this thing?” The thing in question was an ambient soundtrack for a horror film, and the duo had just been told it would no longer be

Matthew Gandy & BJ Nilsen ~ The Acoustic City
The Acoustic City is a 224-page book that includes a 75-minute CD. One can imagine it as required reading for sound studies students, but it possesses the same readability as Angus Carlyle and Cathy Lane’s On Listening and In the Field: The Art of

U SCO ~ Treffpunkt
U SCO alternately defines itself as “avant-punk” and “progressive rock with a heartcore heart”, but their defining force is that of controlled chaos. A live fave around the Portland area, this trio rocks with the force of ten. The band
