Asuna ~ Tide Ripples

Asuna is never one to keep things simple, as his music can contain up to a hundred parts. From drone-piece 100 Keyboards to the more bombastic live show 100 Toys, Asuna piles on more and more sounds until his pieces

Kuba Kapsa Ensemble ~ Vantdraught 4

Much has changed since Vantdraught 10 Vol. 1.  The Kuba Kapsa Ensemble, led by Polish pianist and composer Kuba Kapsa, has grown leaner and more complex, shedding six players as well as the previous album’s rampant repetition.  The result is a compact

okamotonoriaki ~ Happy Ending

okamotonoriaki is no longer a solo affair, as the Tokyo-based composer has invited some of his friends (Cuushe, Flica, Polar M and Chihei Hatakeyama) to contribute to his Happy Ending.  The album exists in a liminal state between ambient and electronic: bouncy

Francesco Giannico & Guilio Aldinucci ~ Agoraphonia

The public square is a place for gathering, for conversation, for the reading and dissemination of literature, for food carts and chess boards, for playful recreation and for protest.  Marked by monuments, the square is not only a microcosm, but
