Gabriel Saloman ~ Movement Building Vol. 2

The second of a planned trilogy, Movement Building Vol. 2 builds on its predecessor and operates as a soundtrack to a tragic winter romance.  The album’s source material is Yasunari Kawabata’s novel Snow Country, although the artist takes time to visit Japanese court music

Lumisokea ~ Transmissions from Revarsavr

On their seventh Opal Tapes release, Lumisokea seems to be having more fun than ever. Not only is the album rife with percussion, it oozes old-school authenticity, as Koenraad Ecker and Andrea Taeggi borrowed a bunch of hundred-year-old noise instruments

Joshua Bonnetta ~ Lago

Lago is an ambitious project, conceived as a companion to Ron Jude’s photographic book of the same name.  As the successor to 2014’s Strange Lines and Distances, the LP provides further evidence that Joshua Bonnetta has greater things on his mind than simple field recording.

Autistici & Justin Varis ~ Nine

It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a color-based release, the last being Machinefabriek’s Colour Tones.  The new release from Autistici & Justin Varis is just that: an investigation of shades and tones, garnished with a diverse remix disc.  The topical choice is

Where can one go to find silence ~ or at the very least, to encounter sound free from human interference?  This is the topic of Pat Collins‘s 2012 film Silence, which finds an aural reflection here in collaboration with Tadhg O’Sullivan.  The original

Troy Schafer ~ Untitled No. 4

Untitled No. 4 is the latest in a series of releases that are ironically titled Untitled.  This irony fits the series, which continues to defy expectation.  One cannot predict what each installment will bring, only that the music will be bold and

Cicada ~ Ocean

One of 2015’s most beautiful releases took flight so late in the year that we didn’t have the chance to cover it.  Ocean combines material from Cicada‘s most recent albums (Coastland and Light Shining Through the Sea), leaving only 11 minutes on the
