Polar Bear: Same As You
by Chris M. Slawecki
Geography is rarely something that a writer considers when preparing a review.

Eberhard Weber: Encore
by Luigi Sforza
Un viaggio in tredici città europee di Germania, Austria, Regno Unito e Spagna, un taccuino di appunti sonori come quello dei grandi viaggiatori dei secoli passati, una personale rappresentazione musicale di luoghi battuti, a tratti concreta, a tratti frutto di semplici suggestioni immaginarie dell'osservatore. Encore è un'epifanica illustrazione di spazi nel tempo, rappresenta uno ...
The Pitch: Frozen Orchestra (Amsterdam)
by Glenn Astarita
Frozen Orchestra (Amsterdam) is an appropriate moniker for these two works performed live at an Amsterdam venue by the core Berlin-based quartet The Pitch, with assistance from a combination of six woodwinds and strings performers.

Jon Hassell: Fourth World Vol. 1: Possible Musics
by Nenad Georgievski
