Salt takes the delicate mixture of acoustic instruments such as viola, violin, piano and guitar combined with subtle electronics to the next level. The new album is both a remarkable departure and at the same time sheds a new yet reassuring light on Hansen’s work and creativity.

Il Quadro di Troisi :: Remixes (Raster)
The album sounds like an enlargement of the sounds and spaces of their first album, an exploration shared by artists and friends who gravitate around this […]
Sacrobosco :: IVXVI (Trovarobato)
An album that abandons any musical and communicative dogma to rediscover a direct link between rhythm and soul.
Alva Noto :: HYbr:ID II (Noton)
These ten compositions delve into infinity, drawing inspiration from resonance and elasticity, concepts rooted in Minkowski’s four-dimensional space-time model.
shedir :: Before the Last Light is Blown (n5MD)
We find ourselves immersed in full-bodied expanses of floating drones and the intricate use of field recordings, for a slow and pleasant listening, exposed to very skillful sound design techniques.
ILUITEQ :: Reflections Revisited (n5MD)
The feeling is that these productions live on their own life, but that they travel in parallel with the original tracks.
quickly, quickly :: Easy Listening EP (Ghostly International)
A fine EP of atmospheric psych-pop inflected with jazz, soul and other styles, combining synths, propulsive drums and a variety of other instrumentation with gauzy vocals and wistful melodies.
Saroos :: Turtle Roll (Alien Transistor)
To put the German band Saroos on the listening map, one only has to mention a couple of names: the Notwist and Morr Music.
Khotin :: Release Spirit (Ghostly International)
Ambient sounds, presets stolen from the Casio SK-1, and bright and nostalgic melodies brushed over malleable beats, make up fleeting and childlike slides. Light, indeed, very light.
Martyna Basta :: Slowly Forgetting, Barely Remembering (Warm Winters Ltd.)
A dynamic effort from a standout artist in Eastern Europe’s burgeoning ambient-experimental music scene.
