Vassilis Tsabropoulos and Anja Lechner represent the cream of the crop for ECM Records. U.T. Gandhi is a new name for me, and his percussion adds a fullness to this recording.
[Art] Christopher Rådlund – To Trær (Two Trees) [2012]
A stark, beautiful lithograph from Norwegian artist Christopher Rådlund.
[Music] Werkbund – Haithabu
Many thanks to my good friend Miodrag Cheza Stojanovic, who posts some of the most amazing experimental videos. Werkbund (alias of Uli Rehberg) were a German experimental/post-Industrial project who made some stunning cassettes and CDs in the 90s.
[Music] Ferdi Tayfur – Batan Güneş
I wish to thank my Google+ friend and colleague, Mehmet Hanedar, for always providing me with a glimpse into Turkish, Turkic and Central Asia music.
Today’s artist, Ferdi Tayfur, hails from Turkey and was seen as a leading light in Arabesque Music in the 1970s.
[Music] Andrea Parker – Nobody’s Perfect Vol. 3
Andrea Parker produces something I hate calling trip-hop, as it seems so limiting. She’s on another plane in the world of electronica.

[Art] Charles de Sousy Ricketts – Don Juan (1911)
Charles Ricketts is a new discovery thanks to my daily perusals of Tumblr. This painting, completed in 1911, gives appearance to Lord Byron’s epic depiction of the legendary Don Juan.
[Music] Mihály Vig – Valuska
Mihály Vig, former guitarist of the indie bands Trabant and Balaton, has moved on to doing a kind of cinematic minimalism. Very relaxed, in the vein of Philip Glass.
