These themes explore the surprise at finding unexpected joy even at our darkest moments when our worst fears are realized and facing the unique stresses of adulthood by retaining a sense of childlike joy.

Aidan Baker :: Tense Surfaces — Remastered (Panospria)
Tense Surfaces is an active departure from the glacial movement of Baker’s earlier work that I am familiar with and is a very delightful surprise.
Maps and Diagrams :: A Study of Ends or Purpose (Handstitched*)
What I hear are experimental, textured soundscapes, multilayered fusions of digital and analog techniques, sparse haunting keyboards and atmospheres…
Alexandre Navarro / Caya :: Phases / Dream Vestibuli (Handstitched*)
Two engaging and alternative perspectives, focused on their diverse range of sound and melodic fusions. Navarro’s Phases & Caya’s Dream Vestibuli is a contrasting range of electronic-acoustic and organic sounds.
Benoît Pioulard :: Eidetic (Morr Music)
Throughout the album, labyrinthine lyrical reflections are dispersed with dazzling images, blurring scenes in world history with the most personal album by Meluch.
Aries Mond :: Skinscape (Self Released)
There has been careful attention made to the landscape, incorporating natural elements and zero gravity and the acoustic ambient experience, explosive and at times powdery, the science of landscape music, a form of minimalism. You can sometimes feel the time stretch.
Part Timer :: Isolation EP (Self Released)
Part Timer somehow manages to elicit real and emotional, vivid technicolor memories of the past—and they’re all good memories, too.
Emba / The New Honey Shade :: Cinq / NEXUS (Handstiched*)
There is a contrast between these styles, you can isolate them or you can blend them, or neither. Each of these two artists makes interesting sounds that convey essences, emotions and new ideas, in very different ways.
Part Timer :: Interiority Complex (Self Released)
Stunningly beautiful, detailed snapshots that make you want to hear more, to know more, to feel more. It’s an album that leaves you wanting more, and that’s what makes it almost perfect.
Yair Etziony & Oberlin :: Farben #1 / A Sunday’s Silence (Handstiched*)
Atmospheric, with mood enhancing meditative textures, free from decorative distractions.
