William Ryan Fritch – Polarity
Welcome to 2023! We start the year by sharing a release due on January 13 by American composer William Ryan Fritch, who has been previously featured on the blog before. From his label, Lost Tribe Sound’s Bandcamp site: “‘Polarity’ is the first in a three album series reflecting on the many calamitous water crises affecting…
Living Pictures – No Headlights
Experimental / Trap project Living Pictures produced a one-track single that sounds like it would fit perfectly in a John Carpenter score. It’s bleak, but the synths are sensual in some weird way. I like what I’m hearing.
Mikael Tariverdiev – Visions in Black & White
Mikael Tariverdiev was a Russian cinema and TV composer of Armenian extraction but raised Tbilisi, Georgia, a true man of the Soviet world. Though he was quoted as not particularly liking jazz, he was as good an improviser that Russia ever produced. From the release’s Bandcamp page: “Visions in Black and White is a collection of…
Gabor Csupo – Blue Yonder For Pluto
I have the pleasure of sharing an album of electronic music composed by my friend and old boss, Gabor Csupo (of Klasky-Csupo fame).

Cellist Aaron Martin has released his score for the documentary The End Of Medicine, and it’s a deeply resonant collection of music. From Aaron’s Bandcamp site: This original score…
Igor Vasilev Novogradska – Bikini Moon (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
If Andrei Tarkovsky had Edward Artemiev as his soundtrack specialist and early Roman Polański had Krzysztof Komeda, then it stands to reason that Macedonian auteur Milcho Manchevski would have his in Igor Vasilev Novogradska. Parts of this new soundtrack are filled with dirge-like qualities befitting this movie, but what truly impressed me were at the…
Zoran Simjanović – Grlom u Jagode
Zoran Simjanović was a film music composer, film music editor and soundtrack composer from Serbia in the Former Yugoslavia. While talking with my girlfriend, we discussed the passing of actor Branko Cvejić, and she made mention that he starred in the TV series Grlom u Jagode. The soundtrack was quite popular in its day, and…
