Abstractive Noise ~ of the Adder’s Bite
First impressions are everything. Anja Millen’s cover character is masked and mysterious, intimating a dark and dangerous album. The title of the album implies a lethal blow. And while of the Adder’s Bite won’t kill anybody (we hope), it may frighten

tarab ~ strata
tarab (Eamon Sprod) describes his work as “careful arrangements of sonic rubbish”, but on his new single-track work, strata, the description is literal. These sounds were all collected in abandoned industrial lots in Melbourne. Factories, storm drains and physical debris color the landscape

Otto A Totland ~ Pinô
As half of Deaf Center, Otto A Totland is known for producing dark ambience, suffused with a modern compositional bent. Solo album Pinô is an entirely different beast. In fact, one would be hard-pressed to call it a beast; it’s a dust mode, a

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen all year. The release is an algorithm that interacts with the computer it is played on, changes every time it is played, and goes on forever (or until the computer overheats). It can

Lubomyr Melnyk ~ Windmills
Ukrainian pianist Lubomyr Melnyk calls his work “continuous music”, and it’s easy to see why: with so many notes in such short spaces, one hears a flow into chords that borders on drone. It’s entirely possible that Windmills contains more single notes than any
