"4 Releases from Mimeomeme" (feature)
The Seattle Phonographers Union comprises five live performances
recorded in Seattle from 2004-2008. It is interesting to note that
these are not compiled in chronological order, though listening to the
album repeatedly, I could not determine if sequencing really made that
much difference, as each track creates its own unique sonic trajectory
and flow.

"Amarok - Francisco López" (review)
On Amarok Francisco López deploys processed field recordings to create
a windswept soundscape tailored to the Glacial Movements aesthetic.
This isolationist dreamweaver conducts an arctic expedition with
trademark atonal drones and snarling blasts evoking the eponymous
giant wolf of Inuit mythology, representing a shivering parable for
our times. Perhaps.

"Collaborative Soundtracking - Erdem Helvacioğlu and Per
Boysen" (review)
Through a long-distance collaboration, multi-instrumentalists Erdem
Helvacioğlu and Per Boysen deliver the soundtrack preceding the
film Sub City 2064 (currently somewhere between ideation and
synopsis), whose use of recollected vocabularies from different
avenues of pop music, from stadium rock to simmering ambient pads and
lounge dub-jazz.

"Halation - Capricornus" (review)
Questing Infraction Records bring bright newcomer Capricornus to the
ambient drone sleepover, hosting in Halation a slow-release narcotic
of minimal means and maximal Morphean mien. Long languorous swathes of
guitar outfolding towards the infinite in a successful foray into the
zone between Deep Listening immersion and harmonised drone.

"Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble II" (review)
Comprising bass, a vintage analog synth, trombone with effects, and
drums, the Jack Curtis Dubrowsky Ensemble plays a futuristic lounge
jazz, replete with nocturnal overtones, swampy, humid and mysterious.

"Lava - Markus Mehr" (review)
Released on Perth's Hidden Shoal Recordings Lava is an album, as the
title suggests, of textural and timbral contrasts with disjunct leaps
of dynamics and tonality. Written and recorded in his home studio in
southern Germany, his palette of sounds come from all manner of sound
emitting objects, electric shavers, ventilators, electric toothbrushes
and field recordings,

"Marsen Jules - Yara (Remastered)" (review)
Marsen Jules' classical-ambient-minimalism hybrid releases Yara, a
release from 2004 on digital netlabel, Autoplate, well meriting
remastered and beautifully repackaged form courtesy of Oktaf, complete
with two bonus tracks. Source sounds drawn from classical trio, Yara,
while flaunting cut'n'paste provenance and DSP mediation, retain
something of the essence of their grace and delicacy.
