Alio Die & Luciano Daini, End of an Era (Hic Sunt Leones)

Alio Die works more often than not with collaborators who share his aesthetic sense as well as nationality. In this way, and by giving them equal billing, he and his label Hic Sunt Leones provide an invaluable showcase where the rest of the world can discover a whole slew of relatively unknown... [read]

Various Artists, Resonant Embers (Edition Sonoro)

Resonant Embers is the first release by Edition Sonoro, a classy-looking statement of intent featuring "a selection of sonorous music" by four well-known artists, two less-well know ones (one of whom deserves to be much better known) and a newcomer. The entire presentation and synaesthetic title... [read]

Kama Aina, Club Kama Aina (Rumraket)

Marc Namblard, Chants of Frozen Lakes (Kalerne)

I recall these sounds; I have heard them on an isolated frozen lake in Northern Ontario. They are among the most remarkable to be heard when nature is at its quietest. One "service" provided by field recordists is the revelation of unheard-of and unheard sounds. Some of their sources can astonish... [read]

Robin Saville, Peasgood Nonsuch (Static Caravan)

Although sounding more like the name of a character Shakespeare struck from the script of "A Midsummer Night´s Dream" in his final revision, "Peasgood Nonsuch" is actually a variety of apple grown in England (best harvested in October). Robin Saville´s album is so very evocative of rural... [read]
