superalgebra ~ Its only numbers
Jon Cooper (superalgebra) seems to love math, but he doesn’t perform math rock. His field is ambient electronics, and superalgebra is just one of his many guises. Those with algebraic tendencies may wish to puzzle over his track titles (“5-9-2-7-5”, “3-1-9-1-3”,

Steve Roden ~ Berlin Fields
Berlin may be the lucky city that graces the title, but Berlin Fields was also recorded in Paris and Helsinki. It’s an odd travelogue, 19 sonic vignettes captured as often by happenstance as by intention. One imagines the artist wandering through

Andrew Weathers Ensemble ~ Guilford County Songs
When is a song in fixed form? Do songs have definitive versions, and if so, should they always be performed in that fashion? Should a concert seek to replicate a recording or vice versa? Is is better to record new

Thomas Tilly and Jean-Luc Guionnet ~ Stones, Air, Axioms
In their introduction to Stones Air Axioms, Thomas Tilly and Jean-Luc Guionnet refer to the air volume of a cathedral as being “enclosed and defined by stone”. This album reflects their attempt to map and reflect the sonic architecture of St. Pierre Cathedral

Sam Gillies ~ Music for Computers
When an artist is represented by a swirled face, one thinks, a) this person is in the Witness Protection Program; b) this person is a chameleon, and/or c) oh no, I hope this is not his real face. As it

Pleq/Hiroki Sasajima/Spheruleus ~ Time & Language
An electronic expert, a field recording specialist and an acoustic troubadour walk into a bar. They buy a few drinks, socialize, and begin to play. There’s no punchline, but the patrons clap. This is essentially what happens on Time & Language,

Strotter Inst. ~ Widerhall
Widerhall is a collection of live recordings from a 2010 U.S. tour. The cover photo seems ironic; shouldn’t the backpack crowd be making this sort of music? Instead, the teenagers stand, enraptured: Dude, the old guy is cool! That’s Christoph Hess, by

Martiensgohome ~ Tétraèdre
The Brussels quartet Martiensgohome wanted to try something different, so each member improvised a solo piece using sound sources contributed by the others. The gentle B and C feature subdued transmissions: hums, rustlings and quiet drones, topped by electronic beeps and murmurings.
