Mats Edén / Stefan Klaverdal ~ annual growth rings
As late summer tilts to early autumn, Mats Edén and Stefan Klaverdal‘s annual growth rings makes a perfect accompaniment. The album speaks of birth and death, of cycles, of letting go. The perspective of trees differs from that of humans: the events

Wayne Robert Thomas & Isaac Helsen ~ RÁS
RÁS underlines the importance of liner notes in music, especially instrumental music. Without any words, the listener is “freed” to imagine their own stories, but with prose, the music takes on added resonance. For Wayne Robert Thomas, the impetus of “Cantus In
