by John Sharpe
Sonic Party documents a live meeting between Catalan pianist Agusti Fernandez and Slovenian percussionist Zlatko Kaucic.

Save the Date - Agosto 2015
by Luca Canini
Agosto, festival miei non vi conosco. Mentre al di là delle Alpi è tempo di gustosissime abbuffate (Willisau, Saalfelden, Mulhouse, Lisbona: fatevi un giro sui siti dei giganti europei), in Italia impazzano le sagre balneari e gli eventi vacanzieri.

Dre Hocevar Trio: Coding Of Evidentiality

Given the title of drummer Dre Hocevar's recording, the question arises: can one classify or identify a system's disorder, i.e. entropy? The liner notes give us a hint.
