Ebauche ~ Mutable

Mutable is an album with multiple selling points, many apparent before the drop of the needle.  Start with the gorgeous cover art, reminiscent of tree trunks and vinyl. Add Adrianna Snochowska’s oil paintings, one for each of the album tracks.  The icing

Dae Kim ~ Solace

Everything we own, and everything we’ve achieved, should have made us freer, calmer and happier; but it hasn’t.  Korean-born musician Dae Kim finds solace in creating music, and hopes that others will find solace in listening.  His debut album has the desired effect.  As

Various Artists ~ 1+1=X

In one sense, this generous boxed set has been a year in the making; in another, it’s been building for ten.  While Erased Tapes is actually 11 this year, 1+1=X is the finale of a long celebration, providing an opportunity to reflect

Philip Samartzis & Daniela d’Arielli ~ A Futurist’s Cookbook

Noodles, noodles, such wonderful noodles!  I am getting hungry just looking at Daniela d’Arielli‘s photos, which cover the adventure from field to factory.  And these noodles are not even cooked yet!  There’s a purity in the process when seen from the
