Léa Boudreau ~ Limaçon

Léa Boudreau is an artist we’d love to meet, not only because of her music, but because of her interest in designing “hybrid and ambiguous creatures.”  Her curious circuitry imitates robots, animals and other fauna, blurring the line between entities.  The

Kirin McElwain ~ Viriditas

On Viriditas, the tracks begin as modern composition and end up as drone, an alchemical development that exposes the porous membrane between the two fields.  This is the premiere release for Brooklyn cellist Kirin McElwain, who also adds voice and synth

Jana Winderen ~ The Blue Beyond

While spinning The Blue Beyond, I couldn’t help but hope that Jana Winderen and Manja Ristić might one day meet and become friends, if they haven’t already.  The distance from Oslo to Belgrade is approximately 2500km, but the interests of these sound

Philip Jeck & Chris Watson ~ Oxmardyke
