kandodo: kandodo
by Glenn Astarita
Multi-instrumentalist Simon Price offers shades of vintage Brian Eno ambient-electronica, with psychedelic hooks and minimalist terrestrial planes, via his one-man solo effort, bearing the group moniker kandodo.

Dan DeChellis Trio: My Age of Anxiety
by Karl Ackermann
If anything in jazz approaches the status of a commodity, it would be the piano trio.

Craig Hilton and Tomas Phillips: Le gout de neant
by John Eyles
According to its sleeve notes, the opening track of Le goût de néant, “Sans mouvement I," is a studio recording of Craig Hilton playing solo guzheng, a multi-stringed Chinese zither with movable bridges. This is remarkable, as it does not sound like one person playing a solo instrument; the resonances produced by the guzheng create the ...
