Review: Stuart Chalmers – Imaginary Musicks Vol. 5
Lonely tape extracts brought into rhythmic and atmospheric unity.

Loose, often drowsy improvisation from Utrecht, using graphical representations of sleep measurements as a score.
Review: Dan O’Connor – IN/EX
17 short trumpet pieces exploring all the potential pathways of breath.
