Franz Rosati ~ Ruins

The title of Franz Rosati‘s latest work, Ruins, is both literal and metaphorical.  The source material is “field recordings, rehearsals, scraps and drafts” ~ sonic ruins, crumbled yet preserved.  The album itself is meant to represent ruins in their architectural and emotional

Paskine ~ Nimrod

If the cover of Nimrod reminds our readers of Damien Valles’ Exposure, it’s because Paskine is responsible for both.  The earlier album strode across snow, while the latest excursion delves into magma.  Look closer and one can see black-and-white behind the green and red.  Human

Stefan Christoff & Joseph Sannicandro ~ Les Rumeurs de la Montagne Rouge, En Chœur, Convergent

While protest music is large enough to fill its own category, we seldom encounter the music of protest.  This C-20, which documents and reflects upon the Quebec student uprising of 2012, almost needs a category of its own. What one thinks
