Maciek Dobrowolski ~ Ephemera

Loss and gratitude mingle at the core of this gorgeous album, which was inspired by W.B. Yeats’ heartrending poem Ephemera.  On the surface, the poem bears the weight of fading love and the sorrow of age.  But read again, and

The Return of Experimedia

Jeremy Bible’s Experimedia is one of the world’s most comprehensive and consistent online music outlets.  But Experimedia is also a record label.  This week, the label returns after a three-year hiatus, presenting Matthias Urban‘s Passagen and Pascal Savy‘s Dislocations. While the releases may share a common genre, their

City ~ Only Borders

Two forces collide in this release.  First, there’s Ascetic House, the label which recently released a 15-tape set, including this one (individual copies are still available). Then there’s City, whose album A Goal is an image was one of our top electronic

M/M ~ I Know You Are Thinking I’ve Said This All Before

Sometimes music is all about creating a mood ~ hollowing out an experiential space in which the listener may dwell.  M/M creates this space in two half-hour pieces on I Know You Are Thinking I’ve Said This All Before.  Extended loops

Anders Lauge Meldgaard ~ At Synge Verden Ind I En Ny Og Mangefoldet Tid

A new label, a new collective and a new name for Copenhagen’s Anders Lauge Meldgaard, formerly known as Frisk Frugt (among others): as the EP title indicates, the composer is Singing The World Into A New And Manifold Time.  The music’s

Philipp Bückle ~ Paintings

For a while, it seemed that Dortmund’s Philipp Bückle might complete his trilogy early.  The first two entries in the series, Sketches and Drawings, were released in 2015, and were the first recordings under his own name.  But it does take longer to complete

Stefano Guzzetti ~ Short Stories. Piano Book Volume Two.

We like short stories.  We also like pianos, the color blue, origami vessels, and the fact that Stefano Guzzetti has dedicated this album to his sister Francesca, “a tiny paper ship.”  Over the past half decade, the artist has issued a series

Luton ~ Black Box Animals

The vantage points may change, but the views are the same: the inside looking out.  The cover portrays the mouth of a cave; the video, a train and tunnel.  As one gazes at the great expanse, one thinks of a
