Brothers Peter Petyaev (saxophone) and Pavel Petyaev (guitar) released a collaborative album near the end of January 2026. It is free in its improvisational greatness but subdued in energy.

Marco Lucchi – All Day Long
A musician we admire here at the blog, Marco Lucchi, comes to us today with a new work where he uses a Buchla synthesizer, mellotron, and flute to create a very peaceful, almost proggish ambient album.
Saba Alizadeh – Nafir (Clamour)
