A very creative composer who isn’t afraid to delve into the strands of the past and present, threading surreal, evocative, and emotionally charged aural pathways that we will continue to revisit.

Tam Lin :: bluelightnospaceflattime (Flaming Pines)
Some sort of obscure, magical ritual this is; surely an engaging one, as this Tam Lin LP tries to immediately hypnotize you as it begins. It does succeed, indeed, as you’ll likely be asking yourself what is happening throughout the entire album.
Broken Chip :: The Quiet Garden (Self Released)
Capturing light sources to create calm atmospheres, the featured compositions are as nostalgic as they are contemporary and offer quiet tidbits for a wonderful diversion.
Matthew Florianz a.k.a. Liquid Morphine :: niemandsland (Remastered) (Self Released)
This new version of niemandsland has ten titles, with alternate versions for a total of seventeen tracks. This is a twenty year old ambient recording revisited using modern tools, the original version was self-released in 2006.
V/A :: Transmission 008 (Imaginary North)
These expertly detailed sonic Polaroids encapsulate the spirit of time, past and present, as though to ease the listener into a thick fog with tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones.
Six Rivers National Forest :: Folklore (Peak)
Behold! An unknown beast! One that you may be able to spot while taking a walk in the frosty and mysterious soundscapes that Folklore depicts, a good alternative for those who don’t live in snowy areas.
Bios Contrast & Nilotpal Das :: Black Box Revenant EP (Self Released)
A revenant returns as a spirit after death, and art can be an experiment in new forms, one might not like it all. For me, “Burn I” and “Burn II” were tough, but then “Dome 2080” is Extraordinarily Awesome! Yes, very good.
Matmos :: Return to Archive (Smithsonian Folkways Recordings)
Matmos are masters of the electronic concept album, and I was delighted that the archive in question is the plethora of “sound” albums released by the maverick founder of Folkways, Moses Asch. Beyond the concept, these glitchy, rhythmic, noisy, textural pieces are a joy to listen to and behold.
Masaya Ozaki :: Mizukara (laaps)
Masaya Ozaki explores various sound sources on Mizukara and then manipulates them into comforting or sometimes discomforting new textures. There’s various acoustic instruments that get played with, contributing to the album’s overall variety and different soundscapes.
