A new gem from composer Philippe Blache, courtesy of our friends at Mahorka Records: “Mastermind behind the veteran neoclassic dark ambient project Day Before Us is back on Mahorka with a new solo album whose conceptual background explores unsettling “liminal spaces”, paramnesia and flowing affective memories. In this new release Continue Reading

Jeff Gburek – Sybillewo (Sybilline Leaves)
Though this is a small snippet of Jeff Gburek’s notes on one of his latest recordings, I highly recommend going to his Bandcamp site and reading his whole essay. Musically, this release sits somewhere in the valley between electroacoustic music and a sound which reminds me of some of the Continue Reading
