Various Artists ~ Trace Elements
“Let the dancing begin!” intones an unnamed narrator on Agah Bahari and PAS Musique‘s “Lucky Number 7”. And so Trace Elements starts ~ with a dub, a beat and a bell. But despite the pulses of the first few tracks, this

Badmixday ~ A Quiet Mind Awaits

Jordan Hall ~ How to Listen to Machines: Songs for Violin and Noise
In prior centuries, composers heard music in the sounds of nature: birds, water, wind. Modern composers hear music in machines. New York City’s Jordan Hall finds inspiration in subways, generators and refrigeration fans, and composes violin pieces that integrate these sounds. How

Stefan Wesolowski ~ Rite of the End

Field Trip Day Four ~ Abandoned Landscapes
The abandoned landscape holds a particular allure for field recording artists, because an abandoned landscape is not an abandoned soundscape. This point is hammered home (pun intended) by Rihards Bražinskis and Raitis Upens as they rattle around an old brewery, and by
