John Lindberg / Anil Ereslan: Juggling Kukla
by John Sharpe
Bassist John Lindberg is best known for his tenure with jazz heavyweights like trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, and saxophonists Roscoe Mitchell and Anthony Braxton.

by Mark Sullivan

All seem to distillate to one essence, that is quiet, the emptiness of silence. For prayer or meditation, the quiet is obvious. But also, great scientists and athletes tell us ...
DarkMatterHalo: Darkness Interrupted
by Claudio Bonomi
Hardedge, all'anagrafe Velibor Pedevski, si definisce un sound designer. Non un sound designer qualsiasi. Hardedge è un architetto di suoni elettronici dotato di una sensibilità non comune.
