For Macrogramma, the medium evidently brings with it, more than nostalgia’s facile allure, in contrast to digital’s infinite possibility, an intransigence forcing definitive choices.

2view :: Tapes and Topographies :: Plumage (Lontano Series) & Rudiments (Simulacra)
A collection of cameos rendered in feathery tones and dusty pitches by Todd Gautreau aka Tapes and Topographies, Plumage’s sonorities, languorously looping and limned in treated effluvia, point to timbral and spatial elements as its primary zone of sonic inquiry.
zakè :: B⁴+3 (Zakè Drone), zakè & Benoît Pioulard :: eve (Past Inside The Present)
Double review for zakè’s B⁴+3 (Zakè Drone) and zakè & Benoît Pioulard’s eve (Past Inside The Present)—proceeding to windblown drones and bells tintinnabulating across the sound field.
Time Released Sound :: A Decade Of Handmade Music Packaging
It’s the big beautiful Time Released Sound art book! Designed by curator, Colin Herrick, and sidekick, Maria, to perch cutely on your coffee table, commemorating a decade of obsessive crafting of a host of handmade housing of its music releases collected into book form.
Lamasz and Grandbruit :: Suivant (élan vital)
A felicitous confluence of two distinct sound worlds/whorls in a zone notionally adumbrated by texture-mappers.
4PLAY :: Past Inside the Present — Awakened Souls, Tyresta, From Overseas & zakè, James Bernard & anthéne

Field Lines Cartographer :: Phases of This and Other Moons (Castles in Space)
Otherworldly yet strangely familiar, sometimes sounding oddly more organic than electronic, at once beauteous and mysterious, huge and delicate.
Kristof Bathory :: Humanoid Dystopia (Cryo Chamber)
This mysteriously cinematic ambient body of slowly moving pieces is mentally transportive and representative of a contemplative journey in unknown vastness and in the depth of the subconsciousness.
Pascal Savy :: Simulacra (Cyclic Law)
With its incantatory tranced-out noisy percolations and moody-esque pulsating minimalism, this album has something majestic and hypnotic which claims to reach the dark arcana of some paranormal regions.
zakè & City of Dawn :: Ash (Azure Vista)
Like an extended gaze on the infinite, or the sound of chronostasis, Ash is motion felt at a Brownian micro-level of timbre and harmonic shift.
‘t Geruis :: Terre, Poussière (Quiet Details)
Behind ’t Gerius is Belgian sound-wrangler, Daniel, who’s hit on a hermetic audioworld at once delicate and distorted, refined and uncouth; sound seen as if through a glass blurrily, yet sharply—alive with microsound like a fungi forest close-up.
