Christoph Berg | Henning Schmiedt ~ Bei
Bei is improvised music that sounds composed; complex music that sounds simple; serious music that sounds fun. The duo of Christoph Berg (violin) and Henning Schmiedt (piano) confounds at every turn: pleasantly, peacefully, precociously. Schmiedt has been recording for 20 years, and has preserved

ACL 2016: Top Ten Experimental
Here’s our fun section; few will be able to predict the contents. Haunted ballrooms, washing machines, stuttered poetry and mythological black dogs all find their place under the experimental umbrella. Some people may call this “different” or “difficult” music; we

Molnbär av John ~ The End
The End is a tale of two albums, the first lighthearted and twee, the second haunted and dark. It’s like The Caretaker decided to go on a bender before sobering up and returning to his normal pursuits. This all amounts to

Cicada ~ Farewell
One of our favorite recent discoveries, Taiwanese female chamber ensemble Cicada, came to our attention via their compilation Ocean. That album combined most of their two latest albums under a single theme. The latest set collects earlier works in similar fashion, packaging

Cicada ~ Ocean
One of 2015’s most beautiful releases took flight so late in the year that we didn’t have the chance to cover it. Ocean combines material from Cicada‘s most recent albums (Coastland and Light Shining Through the Sea), leaving only 11 minutes on the

Ulises Conti ~ Los Griegos creían que las estrellas eran pequeños agujeros por donde los dioses escuchaban a los hombres
After publishing the name of the album (whose rough translation is The Greeks believed that the stars were small holes where the gods listened to men), will there be any room left for the review? There’s hardly enough room for the

Ulises Conti ~ Atlas
Argentinian composer Ulises Conti has been extremely active over the last decade, working in theatre, dance and film. For fans, Atlas (2003-2013) is a wonderful compendium of his work to date; for newcomers, it’s a worthy introduction. Japan’s Flau label may not have
