walakos ~ baseline distortion

Despite the title, distortion isn’t the defining characteristic of walakos‘s latest. Much of the production is remarkably lucid, leaving enough space around the low end and harder electronic textures for small changes in timbre and rhythm to register. “Sapphire” establishes

Rosso Polare ~ Cacciamali

One has to admire the boldness of the opening of Cacciamali. It doesn’t try to dazzle; instead, it opts for understated playfulness. A faltering folk wind instrument sets the tone as if the player were testing it rather than performing

Kate Carr ~ Vertical London

Vertical London does exactly what it says on the can, establishing its premise from the very first minutes through a recording of birds and planes over Loughborough Junction. It is a sound I immediately recognised after spending twenty years living

Mo Farzaneh ~ Aerial Roots

There are places that become so closely associated with geopolitics that it is easy to forget they are still inhabited landscapes, with their own geology, ecosystems and daily rhythms. Qeshm Island, in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran, is one such

Музична Шкатулка [Muzychna Shkatulka] ~ Donbas in Memoriam

“The silence of the Donetsk steppe is deceptive. Amid complete stillness, you begin to hear a powerful symphony rising from deep beneath the earth.” One should be careful not to romanticise the Donbas. It has never been an easy place

Maryam Rahmani & David Esser ~ Santur & Kamancheh for Electronics

It would be easy to describe Santur & Kamancheh for Electronics as an encounter between Iranian classical instruments and electroacoustic music. Fortunately, that is not what this album is about. Rather than treating tradition and experimentation as opposing worlds, Maryam

Alessandro Ciccarelli / Milena Punzi Anfossi ~ Improvisations for the Land

Improvisations for the Land proceeds with unusual patience. Alessandro Ciccarelli and Milena Punzi Anfossi never seem in a hurry to introduce new material. Instead, they linger over individual sounds, allowing them to exhaust their possibilities before searching for another direction.
