Sergio Sorrentino & Machinefabriek ~ Vignettes

Machinefabriek is enjoying another prolific period, having recently released collaborations with Banabila, Celer and the Kleefstra brothers, among others.  We can imagine a TV show called “Everybody Loves Rutger”, in which a different experimental musician might drop by every week

Francisco López / Luca Sigurtà ~ Erm

Given a (virtual) box containing the same set of sounds, what would two composers create?  Would generational differences lead to “older” and “younger” sounding recordings, quieter and louder, traditional and contemporary?  On Fratto9’s just reviewed Boccardi / English split, one

Alberto Boccardi / Lawrence English ~ Split

When does modern composition become drone?  When the original elements are sunk into a sea of strings, brass and electronics, as they are on this evocative split release.  Each of the artists composes, but in a modern fashion, either by manipulating

Luca Sigurtà ~ Bliss

A simple three-note melody is quietly sounded out as electronics buzz and swarm their way into the foreground, a low tone gently swelling in the back.  A bird cries above, water sloshes lightly in the harbor. What is conjured up

Terrapin ~ Killing HF Harlow

Vivisection would have been too good a fate for HF Harlow, whose isolationist experiments with Rhesus monkeys may have singlehandedly inspired the animal rights movement.  If Planet of the Apes were to become real, he’d be the first to go.  Harlow’s experiments
