Subtle Bodies delivers tape music and looped technics at the finest in terms of emotional transportation and spiritual ravishment. The result is tenderly soothing and the defective almost glitch-esque nature of the fragmented piano sequences add an atmosphere of warmth melancholia and sorrowing nostalgia.

Rafael Anton Irisarri :: FAÇADISMS (Black Knoll Editions)
An ethereal ambient record that incorporates live instrumentation as well, more notably in the form of orchestral accompaniments with guitar workouts splattered throughout—and some occasional vocals too.
Fallen :: Fragments (Móatún 7)
Fragments is a very nice loop-based, drifty ambient album. Some classical sounds appear, such as guitar and piano, and they often evoke very traditionally human themes. The release is well mixed and mastered, and concern was clearly given to each composition.
John Cage / Aaron Dilloway :: Rozart Mix (Hanson)
Radio and musique concrète go together like bread and butter. As a medium, radio is the perfect platform for playing tape that has been spliced, diced, smothered, covered, layered, reordered, disordered, composed, decomposed and recomposed. That’s what has happened here with a new version of a mid-sixties John Cage composition, Rozart Mix.
Federico Balducci & fourthousandblackbirds :: Succulent Succubus (Difficult Art And Music)
The project focuses on sound textures, an exploration rather than a pure melody, at others, the feeling comes across like the low-end rumble of a beat-less Berlin nightclub seeping up through the floorboards.
David Birchall, Kate Carr and Tullis Rennie :: Zippered Time, Winged Dialogue (Flaming Pines)
A homogenous and well orchestrated performance, making every musician involved a fundamental component, as each adds their own little piece to form a bigger, more satisfying puzzle.
Francis Gri & Toàn :: Le tissage des rêves (Self Released)
Beautifully soothing, diaphanous, and inviting. This album can seduce anyone into touchingly evocative soundscapes for lonesome moments in introspection.
Hang Ruan and Nick Turner :: Flowers Bloom on a Withered Tree (Polar Seas)
Clearly enjoyable for a quiet home listening session on a rainy day, and ultimately a contemplative delight for your daydreaming moments.
