Read "Etching the Ether" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Humans have seemingly always feared new technologies. We're not even talking about AI and ChatGPT.

Read "Two Live Sets" reviewed by Mark Corroto

From Elvis (both Presley and Costello) to Grandmaster Flash, Igor Stravinsky, and Charlie Parker, the “shock of the new'" (to borrow a phrase from art critic Robert Hughes) adjusts listeners' criteria for judging a composition or performance, and often ...

Dre Hocevar Trio: Coding Of Evidentiality

Read "Coding Of Evidentiality" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Laurence Donohue-Greene writes, this trio of Hocevar, pianist Bram De Looze and cellist St.Louis, “develop each improvisation compositionally and with tenacious unity."

It was merely one example of the burgeoning use of the turntable in music, and I noted the interest it had for me ...
