Over the past five years, Philip Samartzis has been building a body of distinct work.  The interrelated recordings are identifiable by their adjacent titles: 2021’s Polar Force / Array (with Eugene Ughetti); 2023’s Atmospheres and Disturbances; 2024’s Air Pressure (with Michael

Rachel Shearer ~ Te Oro a te Ao

Black album covers are fairly rare; Prince’s The Black Album comes to mind, along with Thembi Soddell’s black-on-black Love Songs, which includes a book of black print on black pages.  Rachel Shearer is the latest addition to this small group, as Te Oro a

Blair Coron ~ Woven Ground

Is Woven Ground an EP with an accompanying film, or a film with an accompanying EP?  We’ll leave it to the project’s viewers and listeners and to decide.  Either way, Blair Coron‘s multi-media release is a treat for the eyes and ears,

Felice Sciorilli ~ Distant Places

Felice Sciorilli first graced our pages last spring, appearing on Biodiversità Records’ 14 Soundcapes with the track “Breaths.”  At the time, we recognized the unique nature of the piece, capturing the sound of “air pushed through the Etruscan sandstone cliffs

Adriano Zanni ~ Post Dub Cities

Thematically, Post Dub Cities hearkens back to Future Sound of London’s Dead Cities, while tonally it recalls Murcof’s Rememberanza.  Adriano Zanni‘s vision of a future world is the cold reflection of a present reality in which many places are already deserted: peeling houses,
