Colorblind…having a decreased ability to see color or differences in color. But…what if colorblind-ness becomes an intention? A conscious choice to not pin a colored distinction on ideas, people, music or life-philosophies? A clean palette of initial curiosity and acceptance, rather than a rigidity of prejudging (prejudice) and labeling. Why pretend to know before witnessing, before engaging, before allowing perception to focus?Doesn’t life ask us to enter, without tinting the supreme arts of kn…

There isn’t much known about Crystal Voyager & UFOm, the two musicians that created “Universe People.” We do know that it’s an album of deep ambience and weirdo sonic exploration; simultaneously harnessing lulling sounds and celestial vibrations alongside more visceral sonic encounters that exist somewhere else entirely. As previously reported from last year’s “Aliens Are Real” by UFOm, the artist has ties to a low-profile religious organization which necessitates their secrecy. Thankfully, we d…

Leaping from a twig, a spider lays a strand of silk in the open air. Intuitively, it traces a design, reactive to its environment but guided by something deeper. As it works towards the center, something resembling a home emerges, intricate in its design and inevitably imperfect. The web comes to represent the creature’s creative response to the world and its needs within it. Artmaking and music- making emerge from a similar nerve: through the impulsive drive to create a space for one’s self, cr…

Music To Varnish Owls By. Does Geoff Bastow have a claim for the best album title of all time? It's certainly up there. It's also one of the hardest to find library funk records. But don't let the eye-catching name fool you into thinking this isn't serious business. As a key member of Giorgio Moroder's team, the legendary Geoff Bastow shouldn't need any introduction. You'll be familiar with his singular brilliance as the brains behind the much-sampled boogie/disco classics "You Don't Like My Mus…

Tip! *2025 stock* Body of Sound, Body of Music is Norwegian bass player Christian Meaas Svendsen’s second solo bass album. The entirety of the recording is based around a framework which Christian calls bass, body, bows: An ongoing introspection in how he can use all of his instrument and all of his body without any external preparations other than the traditional bow, albeit usually several of them at the same time. This is the basis. Furthermore, the recording is an investigation in bringing t…
