Birds of Passage & I’ve Lost ~ I Was All You Are

The cover of I Was All You Are says it all: blinding sunshine, dried weeds, a woman walking alone.  Alicia Merz (Birds of Passage) seems to have been raised in haziness, forever existing just a bit out of focus.  When

Noiko ~ Honey

Parenting is an emotional rollercoaster that begins with conception and never abates.  Hope and fear battle in an expectant parent’s heart; seriousness and playfulness do-si-do once a child is born.  Poignancy and pride compete as a child leaves home, and

Tyneham House ~ Tyneham House

“Oh, how lovely!” says she, clapping her hands once in delight.  Over sixty years have passed since she last saw her ancestral village.  Blinded by a mortar strike, she had been told only spindles of narrative:  Mum, we had to

Seth Chrisman ~ Aetherdrift, Do You Copy

Last year the Flaming Pines label sent ripples throughout the water-filled earth with the ambitious Rivers Home set.  2012’s first offering is even better – not a tsunami, but a compact, rideable wave.  This should come as no surprise, considering

Celer & Machinefabriek ~ Maastunnel/Mt. Mitake

When is a single not just a single?  When it’s an event – in this case, the product of two stellar talents, joining forces for the first time.  A shared concert in 2010 inspired these prolific performers to begin exchanging

From the Mouth of the Sun ~ Woven Tide

The key track on last year’s Jasper TX album, The Black Sun Transmissions, was the Aaron Martin collaboration, “Weight of Days”.  Martin’s cello filled a void in Dag Rosenqvist‘s sonic world, while Rosenqvist’s electronics added grit to Martin’s clean classical vision.

Plinth ~ Collected Machine Music

Imagine coming home tired from a long day’s work and discovering that someone had written a song for you.  After such a gift, the turmoil of the day melts away.  I paid nearly a day’s salary for the limited edition

Lasse-Marc Riek ~ Saison Concrète

She can be all four seasons in one day.  Sting’s words were written for a loved one, but they also apply to this release.  Saison Concrète is the sound chronicle of a year, an exquisitely designed symphony of sound from Gruenrekorder’s
