Blue Lake ~ The Animal

January’s Weft introduced a new phase in the career of Copenhagen composer Jason Dungen, where Blue Lake began to evolve from solo artist to band.  The Animal solidifies this shift.  Dungen continues to play ten instruments, but leads a host of other musicians and

Laurie Torres ~ Après coup

The essence of now may assume its body and weight or even lightness in-between the before and after of experienced time. Between the before and after, the just before and the shortly after, one can often find a window of

Blue Lake ~ Weft

After the enchantment of 2023’s Sun Arcs, Blue Lake returns with the beguiling Weft.  Gone is the blue lake of the earlier album’s cover; in its place is Maria Zahle’s woven “Torso,” a metaphor for the music within.  Weft does at times sound as if

Akusmi ~ Fleeting Future

Given all that the world has been going through, it’s refreshing to encounter someone who has remained optimistic.  Pascal Bideau is Akusmi, his moniker suggesting acoustic, albeit with an international tinge ~ exactly what one will hear while spinning Fleeting Future. The album
