Deficit is a project of Vyacheslav Ismagilov, an author of electronic experimental music from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, so says his Bandcamp site. The drones are rather gentle for noise music and made for a fascinating listening experience. This is one you want to use your headphones for. His collaborator, Marcelo Diaz, Continue Reading

Reverse Image – Towards the Nocturnal Sun
This is the second Reverse Image album we have had the pleasure to review (you can read the first one here). Whereas the first album was more experimental in nature, this one continues on that vein, has has an even more sophisticated take on electroacoustic music sitting well inside an Continue Reading
AGDISTIZ – Audaus Minor
Our friends at Kalamine Records introduce us to AGDISTIZ, a band who, if my memory serves me right, is from Romania. The drones here are sumptuous, like listening to a warm, thick drone during days when the cold is becoming crisper. Really a pleasant release if you can handle a Continue Reading
Paolo L. Bandera – Riconnessione Iconoclastica Sacrale
Raffaele Pezzella’s consistently astounding Unexplained Sounds Group is perhaps the best-curated label covering dark ambient and ritualistic music. They present former Sigillum S member Paolo L. Bandera’s latest release, and present notes originally posted from the Bandcamp release site here: “Paolo L. Bandera (a.k.a. NG5361) has been propagating unconventional sounds and Continue Reading
mastroKristo – Passage
mastroKristo is a band out of Greece whom I was able to glean little information about, but considering they are being released by Lost Tribe Sound, I expected this to be good. I was not disappointed at all. The acoustic guitar is achingly sparse, with a hint of neofolk without Continue Reading
Pete Swinton – Notes From Underground
Composer Pete Swinton makes perfect music to match the cold, listless, slightly depressing Beijing dusk today. Eerie, engaging music.
m.o.u.b. – EP2020
m.o.u.b. are a group out of Russia who provide a cold, unnerving, bleak ambient drone, perhaps the perfect music to suit my mood at the moment.
Jeff Gburek & Orkiestra Gaiafonica – Sept (ember) Sorties, 2024
From Jeff Gburek’s Bandcamp site: “None-sense Opera is what I will call it. It’s not noise, not merely musical soundscapery nor just anything rushing in to fill the 4/33 gap. My selections are operant, intuitive but their sense often only dawns on me later in the twilight when I become Continue Reading
Willebrant – Coastal___
Karl Willebrant released an EP’s worth of meditative music that would be appealing to fans of groups like Embryo and Popol Vuh. The tunes are gentle, a bit on the kosmische side, and well-balanced in terms of its sonic character. This is a rather fine little release.
Deborah Martin & Cheryl Gallagher – Tibet (20th Anniversary Remaster)
From the impeccable Spotted Peccary: “”Spotted Peccary Music is thrilled to announce the 20th anniversary release of TIBET by Deborah Martin and Cheryl Gallagher, completely remastered and remixed for Dolby Atmos and Spatial audio, finally presenting this masterful work as it was originally envisioned – a total immersive experience of Continue Reading
