Greek experimental composer Savvas Metaxas has scored music for a choreography project that sounds more like a very relaxed version of electroacoustic music. It’s sumptuous headphone listening, I have to say. From his record label Noise Below’s Bandcamp site: “Savvas Metaxas’s music for the choreography/action ‘who knows where time goes Continue Reading

Naujawanan Baidar – Khedmat Be Khalq
N.R. Safi is the leader of the band psychedelic rock/drone band The Myrrors, yet this side project goes off on into a rather personal trajectory for him. This particular release combines the drone and rock he’s mastered, but it’s also layered with tapes from Afghanistan, where his roots are. Imagine Continue Reading
Borut Kržišnik – Lightning
I have a proud history with Slovenian composer and guitarist Borut Kržišnik. Many years ago, I ran a small record label of note called Falçata-Galia, and I launched the label with his album Stories From Magatrea. He has continued to make amazing music since then, and is currently exploring the Continue Reading
Otomo Yoshihide (大友良英) – We Insist?
I had the pleasure of watching Otomo Yoshihide perform live about 30 years ago in Los Angeles, and his turntable wizardry made me a lifelong fan. It pleases me to see that labels are still carefully releasing his body of work, and this album is among my favorites. The album Continue Reading
Tewksbury – Brutes
Douglas Tewksbury is an ambient musician out of, I believe, Canada. I am quite impressed with the spacious and elegant nature of his music. From his record label, HushHush’s Bandcamp site: “‘Brutes‘ serves as a follow-up Tewksbury’s debut album ‘Paths.’ Released by the boutique Dutch label Geertruida Records in June Continue Reading
Donny Vegas – Pharmakós
It seems like Donny Vegas has been listening to all the right post-punk records for my taste. One can hear influences of early Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide, a touch of Throbbing Gristle, and yet, by some odd miracle, it sounds both fresh and lo-fi. A quirky release, but I like this. Continue Reading
Internal Fusion – IWWA
I suppose we can coin a new term for this magnificent music out of Breton dark ambient composer Eric Latteux (who composed under the name Internal Fusion): Kosmische dark ambient. I seem to be finding a fair amount of music like this these days, and our dear friends at Mahorka have Continue Reading
Birdsongs of the Mesozoic – The Iridium Controversy
Cuneiform Records offered this album as a half-price release this weekend, and though I already had the album, I thought it would be good to note what an amazing album this was back in its prime. Birdsongs of the Mesozoic are a band from Boston, Massachussets who have been active Continue Reading
Liang YiYuan (梁奕源) – Those That Die In A Dream. A twenty years retrospective
It boggles the mind that our friends at Unexplained Sounds Group continue to scour the earth for the best ambient music around. From the label’s website: Liang YiYuan was born in Wuhan (China, 1977), and now living in Lijiang, Yunnan Province. He painted in his early years, and later turned Continue Reading
Lauri-Dag Tüür – Waves Of Silent Whispers
Lauri-Dag Tüür appeared on my previous blog in 2020 with what I believe was his debut album, and he’s gotten better since. This album clocks in at a bit over 40 minutes, and it’s one of the better examples of Kosmische Musik I’ve heard in some time done by a Continue Reading
