Review: Andrea Belfi - Natura Morta

Belfi is a permeable performer. He doesn’t react to his surroundings but embodies them, incorporating them into his drumming, becoming a translucent presence through which the soundscape is refracted delicately. I can imagine his sticks fluttering deftly through the synthesiser mist, slipping in and out of visibility as soft

Review: Eric Thielemans - Sprang

I can sometimes hear my cat scampering around the living room as I lay in bed on weekends, as an over-active imagination and a night’s worth of potential energy collide in jolts of play; sudden surges of limbs tumbling over the wooden floor, chasing the phantom mice that flash

Review: Gareth Davis + Frances-Marie Uitii - Gramercy

The tones of Davies and Uitti sound joined at the waist. One slips gently in between the overtones of the other, mimicking pace and dynamic so as to move in inseparably synchronised waves, their cohesion gently assisted by a deep reverb that causes bellows of woodwind to melt into low

Review: Gultskra Artikler - Abtu Anet

Galatika was not the music of this planet. Gultskra Artikler’s previous full length resided within its own humid alien jungle – it chattered with the cyber-calls of mutant birds, and wafted in an electronic mist that clogged any empty space, leaving the listener to wade through a thick and oppressive
