Sabiwa ~ DaBa
On some level, we wish for albums to converge on a unifying theme, idea, or mood. Not all albums should be “concept albums”. But when it comes to evaluating and appreciating, most listeners instinctively ask if the tracks hang together

Michael Bonaventure ~ In Tenebris Ratione Organi
Pipe organs are custom built for one space, which forms part of the instrument. Anyone nosing around a cathedral and beholding the towering walls of pipes will suspect as much. Unfortunately, leftfield musicians may struggle to access these instruments. Conservatism

Moss Covered Technology ~ Slow Walking / Wil Bolton ~ Kochi
Since art exists in time, it is unthinkable that it be separate from space. As we become absorbed in the duration of a record, a new space is imagined – or relations with our environment are infinitesimally altered. To some,

Jakob Rehlinger ~ Powehi / Carl Oesterhelt ~ Eleven Pieces for Synthesizer
Modern synthesizers only emerged in the 1960s. Technological changes have been constant, as modular behemoths gave way to compact digital boxes or software packages. We should hesitate in calling this progress. Treating each new thing as an improvement means leaving

Emptyset ~ Blossoms
Art is a mediation between the material world and the intellect. Artists dream up ideas, but then must constrain them in available forms – sonnets, sculptures, watercolours, concertos. In the exegesis to his “Trillion Byte MP3 Harsh Noise Work” (2011–12),

NakedEye Ensemble, Ju-Ping Song ~ Toy
The toy piano is an ambiguous Victorian invention. Is it a tool for learning? A child’s plaything? A novelty for adults? It’s an inherently limited device: with metal tubes instead of strings, it is difficult to tune with precision. It’s

David Watson and Tony Buck ~ Ask the Axes
Take a deep breath. The bagpipe is an ancient achievement: an idealised human lung, which need never pause its exhalation. Its music is legato: it works on an unbroken ground of successive notes, controlled via the tireless “chanter”, emitted through

Odd Nosdam ~ Flippies Best Tape / DEADBEAR ~ World Music Market
We think of our favourite albums as timeless; but music is the most durational artform. From the classical symphony to the field recording, music makes us conscious of the passage of time. When the needle hits the groove, it should
