Attilio Novellino - Through Glass
CD - Valeot Attilio Novellino is a musician-experimenter and a native of Catanzaro, whose sound is strongly soaked in a dark and intense cinematic appeal with echoes of post-rock music. Here we find dissonances and environmental melodies together with liquefied sequences, drones and auditory whirlpools. Melancholic ...

Stephan Moore - To Build A Field
CD - Deep ListeningSounds that seem to converge in ultra-rarified sequences, hesitating in sensitive constructions with strong environmental and narrative structures, reflect the background of Stephan Moore, the author, a long time member of the live band at the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Moore is a composer ... [ Continue ] email this | + facebook | + twitter | TrackBacks (0) |

Maju - Maju-5
CD - ExtremeIn Japanese, "Maju" (pronounced 'may-you') has approximately the same meaning as the English word "cocoon".

Spyweirdos - Ten numbers
CD + DVD - Creative SpaceVery abstract and glitchy electronica, soundscapes resulting from a measured mix of digital and acoustic elements (the latter aren't sampled, but played ad-hoc for every single track). Barely hinted rhythmic patterns, drones, then violins, cellos, pianos. Melancholic sequences by the Greek combo Spyweirdos, ... [ Continue ] email this | + facebook | + twitter | TrackBacks (0) |

Frank Rothkamm - Lax
CD - Flux RecordsThis is a brilliant conceptual posthumous soundtrack, inspired by the Millenium fear, trying to sonify this atmosphere during the two years before 2000 in Los Angeles.

Tor Lundvall - Empty City
CD - Strange FortuneAn electronic production rich in elegant textures, diluted sounds and dreaming atmospheres, mostly thanks to the iterated melodies that peep out from strange voices and meditative drones. Gloomy and sensitive envelopes, that deliberately reveal an emotional approach, far from the theoretical rigor of ... [ Continue ] email this | + facebook | + twitter | TrackBacks (0) |

Nebulo - Kolia
CD - HymenThis the Thomas Pujols, aka Nebulo, fascinating debut album.
