The Psychic/Body Sound System
Tip! Dan Blacksberg’s Psychic/Body Sound System takes a gutsy leap into a set of otherworldly sub-bass drones, fiery free jazz declamations, and melancholic sonic stories. This fully improvised album, recorded live with no effects or overdubs shows Blacksberg wielding his trombone like a seer across varied sonic environments, real and imagined. Woven together by poetic fictionalizations by Alex Smith and stunning artwork by James Dillenbeck, Psychic/Body Sound System is a trombone-driven reverie…

Signal
“Signal" is the new album by renowned electronic music artist Brendon Moeller. Known for his innovative fusion of ambient sounds, Moeller once again pushes the boundaries of the genre with swirling, organic forms and immersive textures grounded in the dark, moody tones of deep techno and dub. What results are the sounds of melodic, fluttering synths set to low, steady beats, all of which seem to playfully dance through some kind of cosmic aural nebula. Brendon grew up in Johannesburg, South Afri…
Sanje
Antonio Della Marina is an electronic music artist and composer who has been working for over twenty years almost exclusively with sine waves, focusing his research on the exploration of the physical properties of sound and on tuning systems derived from the laws of natural harmonics. Active in a liminal space between music and visual arts, his compositions are conceived as actual sound sculptures, for which he uses mathematical abstractions and self-built generators. For several years he has be…
Poem of the Atoms
“Not only are the galaxies spinning, but also the stars within the galaxies, and the Earth is spinning, and the Earth around the sun and the moon around the Earth. Pretty much the whole universe is spinning.”"This statement by the astrophysicist Noam Libeskind together with the aphorism, attributed to Heraclitus, "Panta Rei" (everything flows) and especially the Poem of the Atoms by the Sufi poet Rumi were the sources of inspiration for my new musical project. Jalal al-Din Rumi was also the foun…

Below/Light
"Below/Light" by Filer Coleman is a selection of ambient works by Jim Filer Coleman. It represents an antidote, or perhaps a counterpart, to the more aggressive music that he may be more known for such as Cop Shoot Cop and Human Impact. These tracks were recorded over a span of a few years, slowly evolving and seeking definition. Electrocoustic in nature, the approach was always exploratory and playful, searching for balance and connection with the natural world.
Jim Coleman was an instrumental …
There is no longer any turning back
There is no longer any turning back is an excerpt from ”The Aphorisms of Zürau”, a posthumous work by Franz Kafka. The work represents a path without obstacles, a descending abyss toward ourselves, toward the roughness of our deepest selves that we cannot explain and probably cannot confess. The individual track titles make up another excerpt by David Foster Wallace from an interview with David Lipsky: «The part of me that thought I was different or smarter or whatever almost killed me.»
