Gianluca Favaron | Anacleto Vitolo ~ Overgrowth

Sound artists Gianluca Favaron and Anacleto Vitolo continue to explore the intersection of technology and nature on Overgrowth, an album whose timbre is easily recognizable as their own, yet contains some distinct surprises.  Once again, the mastering is pristine and the stereo

Echo Collective ~ The See Within

Our readers may think they are seeing double:  just as individual members of string quintet BOW, reviewed here last month, Echo Collective has worked with A Winged Victory for the Sullen and Jóhann Jóhannsson.  There’s even a bit of cross-pollination between Echo

Daniel O’Sullivan ~ Electric Māyā: Dream Flotsam and Astral Hinterlands

Regular readers will recall the cover art from our Fall Music Preview.  As it turns out, Electric Māyā: Dream Flotsam and Astral Hinterlands offers more than just ambience.  The rich set delves into multiple genres: devotional music, modern composition, electronic. Daniel

SPAZA ~ UPRIZE!

Black Lives Matter.  While this statement has always been true, in recent history it has reached the public consciousness at certain juncture points: the 60s and today in the United States, and 1976 in South Africa. UPRIZE! is a film about

Kruder & Dorfmeister ~ 1995

In 2020, everything old is new again.  Our hunger for nostalgia has burgeoned through reruns of classic TV shows, sports matchups and concerts.  Artists have rediscovered abandoned styles.  And in the case of trip-hop legends Kruder & Dorfmeister, the discovery of

Errorgrid: A Darker Sound of a Present Future

LA’s industrial-minded Errorgrid label launched in May, smack in the middle of the pandemic and an economic meltdown.  In one sense, this was horrible timing, but in another, it’s just perfect.  Billed as “a darker sound of a present future,” the label’s

Snowdrops ~ Volutes

Snowdrops combines the talents of Christine Ott on piano and Ondes Martenot, Mathieu Gabry on piano and mellotron, and Anne-Irène Kempf on viola.  Volutes is music for a thoughtful season: subtle rather than overt, reflective rather than reactive. We’ll begin with

Fatwires ~ The wicked Path

Yet another left turn for bassist John Eckhardt, The wicked Path once again teaches us to drop our prior expectations.  We never expected to encounter a drum ‘n’ (real) bass album from the artist, although it makes perfect sense.  Recording as Fatwires, he’s
