Peter Levics ~ August / September / October
The more ambitious a project, the more unlikely the chance that it will ever get finished. When violin and guitar-playing Latvian brothers Maris and Juris Peterlevics (Peter Levics) announced that they would be releasing twelve recordings, one for each month, we held

Lawrence Lindell ~ Magic Megaphone
One of the great pleasures of reviewing over time is the ability to watch artists develop. Lawrence Lindell has been improving with each release, and for the third time in a row, his newest work is his best. A Nomad Story was

Angélica Castelló ~ Sonic Blue
A few years ago I picked up Bestiardio, a unique recording from Angélica Castelló that to this day remains thoroughly unclassifiable. Sonic Blue may be easier to classify, but is no less fascinating; it’s a (mostly) underwater soundscape enhanced by the sub-contra bass,

Attack of the 3-Track Piano EPs!
Is this a trend or a revolution? In the last two months, we’ve received 3-track EPs from pianists Francesco Berta, Levi Patel, Oskar Schuster & Cypix and Rael Jones & Peter Gregson, along with a collaboration between Bigo & Twigetti artists. Each EP contains strings, although

Bruno Sanfilippo ~ Inside Life
Even after twenty years, Bruno Sanfilippo‘s sound continues to develop. In last year’s review of ClarOscuro, we noted that we liked the artist’s new direction: subtler electronics and supporting strings. The piano remains the central instrument, but a light dusting of sugar

Phirnis/Katarrhaktes ~ Sleepers
This second collaborative effort (following last year’s Lovers single) from Vienna’s Phirnis and London’s Katarrhaktes presents two like-minded artists at the top of their game. It’s amazing how well their sounds mesh together, but once one learns their stories, it’s less of a surprise; instead,

Ghost Flute & Dice ~ melody is god
First off: a great name, as the unique moniker makes one want to know more. Ghost Flute & Dice is Copenhagen composer Mikkel Almholt, who specializes in amplified piano and first appeared as a solo artist four years ago. Second: great presentation,

Foresteppe ~ Diafilms
As one of the coldest winters on record continues in the States, it’s nice to know that others are going through the same thing. As I write this, it’s -18C in New York and -28C in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia; our
