In Iceland, summer is a magical season. The sun never sets, and the shadows are sublime. The temperature is never too hot or too cold. For morning and night people alike, it’s a perfect time to explore the land of fire and ice. This summer, Ólafur Arnalds travelled around his native land, recording one track a […]

– This music is much more than a meeting of Turkish and West African musical styles. There is a poetic eloquence here that compels the listener to respond in a visceral and emotional manner. It is music that gently demands deep listening, and inspires introspection and the unveiling of new insights. – Doobeedoobeedoo, USA
Note: The Mehmet Polat Trio is currently preparing to record the second album ‘Ask Your Heart’, expected to be released in Autumn 2016. Please stay in contact for upcoming news.

Source: Musicworks. A little late, but… The Festival International Musique Actuelle Victoriaville (FIMAV) arrives with the late, brief spring of Quebec’s central region, an energizing jolt between winter and summer that sees the flowering of older vines and new life bursting through the earth. This year’s instalment of FIMAV did what it has done very […]
I love being a music sponge, but even with my rather vast knowledge of strange music, some things slip through the cracks. The Russian band Sepsis is a case in point. Apparently, the band was from Leningrad (now St Petersburg), and created a sound which would be familiar to fans of Rock-In-Opposition and avant-progressive music.
YELLOW6 – Springsun (Silber, 2016) Venti minuti di nebbiosi loop atmosferici costituiscono il più recente segnale radio emesso dalla residenza di Jon Attwood nella campagna inglese. Di quegli umori e di quelle atmosfere rese indefinite da una luce obliqua trasuda il quarto d’ora di “Springsun”, un rincorrersi di riverberi e stratificazioni che perpetuano il marchio di […]

Turkey’s master percussionist Okay Temiz teams with the late South African bassist Johnny Dyani for a short, mindbending ethno-jazz excursion.
For my ears, Edward Artemiev’s Solaris soundtrack is absolutely perfect listening, especially this interpretation on the work of Johann Sebastian Bach (the chorale prelude to Ich ruf’ zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ (BWV 639)) using an ANS synthesizer.
Earlier this year, the Bigo & Twigetti label asked its artists to contribute a personal reflection of summer. This compilation is the result. Summer is a potpourri of presentations that opens up the question, “What does summer sound like?” For this listener, summer sounds like the opening track, Pavel Karmanaov‘s “Michael Music”: ebullient, with sparks and ocean droplets […]
This, for me, is the Swans at the peak of their creative powers, though, to be honest, they have not slumped at all since.
