"Nunatak ∙ Teimo ∙ Permafrost" (feature)
Thomas Köner apparently always saw his first three albums Nunatak,
Teimo, and Permafrost as a triptych. Type has now obliged, repackaging
these seminal works, situating them as central to the development of
dark ambient drone. Two decades on, they remain peerless works
situated between sound art and a particular form of reduced music.

"Bay/Oslo Mirror Trio and SEKSTETT on Conrad Sound" (review)
SEKSTETT and Bay/Oslo Mirror Trio, are two new releases from Norwegian
label Conrad Sound, directed by double bassist Guro Skumsnes Moe, who
also appears on each recording. On the surface, I would describe both
outfits as acoustic, free music ensembles, with tendencies toward
thoughtful improvisation, and well controlled instrumental
vocabularies of extended techniques. I really hate making
generalizations, but can anyone find a Oslo based jazz ensemble that
DONT know how to play their instruments? Let us take a closer look.

"Emerald - Elve" (review)
Matt Hillier (aka Ishq) releases as Elve on his sub label
Virtualworld. Aptly named, the imprint's creations seem to inhabit an
intelligently designed universe of their own. That of Emerald is
differently oriented from debut Infinite Garden: if the latter was
futurist Albion pastoral, Emerald has more of the air of a virtual
tropical rain forest.

"Myriad Trails - Garden Hall" (review)
Garden Hall's Myriad Trails hosts minimal ambient drones and textured
tones of a type typically tagged experimental - basically a mix of
harmonic drone and post-rock (sans rock) laced with field recordings.
Reductionism aside, the whole is wrought with a sleight of hand to
keep ambiance-chasers engaged.

"Obsil Distances" (review)
Obsil's sound world is a refreshing direct approach to an electronic
song. Straddling a field to encompass the contemporary glitch of 12k
and the post-classical romanticism of Type and Miasmah, Distances is a
creative and charming collection of piano-based electronica.

"Richard Lainhart - Cranes Fly West" (review)
Richard Lainhart's Cranes Fly West incorporates a grand piano and
field recordings with his various electronics to showcase another
aspect of his musical creativity. The peaceful and serene drones from
his earlier work are still present, and the new elements create
uncanny ripples in the placid surface textures.

"Rojo" (review)
As head of Locus of Assemblage, David Wells curated a beguiling mini-
cdr series featuring Paul Bradley and other likeminds. His own drone,
Rojo, is similarly turned out, delicately layering a stately guitar
sequence with subtle timbre tweaks. Serene but not soporific, its
internal tides make for a pleasing headswim in its recursions.
