Everyday Dust :: Assemblance X Sessions (Dustopian Frequencies)

The sounds here are not just the contemporary musique concrète we’ve all come to know and love from Everyday Dust, but musique métaphysique. It’s earthy, its rooted, its physical powerful when blaring through the headphones or speakers and subwoofer, but it contains the ever necessary particles of dust that transport me to the otherworld every time I listen to music from this artist.

Vera V Almgren :: I Det Vassa Ljuset (Istid)

Mastered and recorded at Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm between 2024 and 2026, I Det Vassa Ljuset is based on close-miking of organic materials such as wood, metal, stone, and glass. These recordings have then been processed and transformed into software instruments that can be played live. Released on her own label Istid Records, I Det Vassa Ljuset is available digitally and on cassette.

Andrew Anderson :: Thresholds (Elevator Bath)

Thresholds is an album that stays with you. It subtly alters the way you listen. It opens a door into a liminal space where sound becomes memory, and memory becomes atmosphere. In doing so, Andrew Anderson has created a work that is both deeply personal and universally evocative, a rare and rewarding listening experience.

FAX :: Escala (DISQ AN)

A delicate undertaking masterfully formed. It rewards any patience with a desire for repeated listening that reveals innate deeper layers of finer detail and craft. With its fractured yet entirely cohesive palette, FAX has crafted a work that is mature, cerebral, and quietly extra-ordinary.

Philippe Petit :: The Acoustic Cornet, an hommage to Leonora Carrington (Mahorka)

After first encountering Philippe Petit through The Haunting Triptych (2010), The Acoustic Cornet—released by Mahorka as a tribute to Leonora Carrington—emerges as a radical electro-acoustic work of abstract, collage-driven experimentation that fuses manipulated objects, elastic electronics, and avant-garde improvisation into a richly unpredictable sonic experience.
