Andrius Mack ~ Coastal Soundforms

In “The Sea,” Pablo Neruda writes, “I need the sea because it teaches me.  I don’t know if I learn music or awareness, if it’s a single wave or its vast existence,” but the poet becomes part of its “pure

Monotonne ~ Gl1tch

The sub-genre of glitch turns expectations on its head; instead of tolerating sonic glitches, artists use them as starting points, in essence making what is imperfect perfect.  As one can glean from the title, the Gl1tch EP celebrates the art of

Kerrie J Robinson ~ Submerged

At what point does sound become music?  This question is the starting point for Submerged, an EP that contains no instruments and fools the ear.  The illusion is so convincing that we felt compelled to double-check with the artist just

Jake Muir ~ Campana Sonans

Not since Cities and Memory’s The Chimes has an album delved so deeply into the resonance of church bells; and Campana Sonans (Ringing Bell) has the dual advantage of being a single-artist LP and a physical release.  One may even purchase a printed

Ben Chatwin ~ The Beginning / KLASIS

Ben Chatwin has taken a new approach in 2025, releasing a double-A side single followed by an EP, each boasting visuals from Morgan Beringer.  These audio-visual works are meant to be experienced in tandem, as each enhances the other. The cover

Goldmund ~ Layers of Afternoon

Nick Prideux’s cover image is a perfect summary of the music found within.  A window is open to a sun-dappled vista: placid sea, beckoning island.  A light breeze causes the curtains to billow while a young woman takes a languid
