Bruno Sanfilippo ~ ClarOscuro
The phrase that comes to mind while watching Bruno Sanfilippo play the piano is “deceptively simple”. One thinks, “that doesn’t look so hard”. Then the right hand moves up an octave, the playing grows more complex, and one’s initial impression is revised.

dmGida ~ dwell&mind
dmGida‘s music falls into a category that’s so small, it doesn’t have a name. For review purposes, we’re calling it electronic, but a more proper name might be “ghostly gothic beats”. The Boston producer’s debut EP comes across as the

Socrates Martinis ~ North / Uton ~ Kähe+
This unique pair of releases from the Moremars label stretches beyond the usual confines. The first is a CD3″ nestled in a poetry chapbook; the second is a sonic exploration of non-existent Finnish words. Together, they are evidence of a

Antoine Chessex ~ Selected Chamber Works 2009-2013
We last reviewed Swiss composer Antoine Chessex two years ago when we covered Dust, a piece written for violin trio and electronics. This new collection expands the instrumentation and demonstrates the breadth of his talents. These chamber works represent only one facet

Hildur Guðnadóttir ~ Saman
Saman, which the liner notes indicate is Icelandic for “together”, grounds itself on a subtle form of melancholy, as if the listener was looking at a landscape where something cherished used to stand a long time ago. The ‘togetherness’ surely
