"Explorations in Sound, Vol. 4 The Sound of Live Performance - Various
Artists" (feature)
The live sound and music performance is like no other medium for
expression and unpredictability, frequently yielding interesting sonic
results, both on, and off stage. Sound checks, sound failures, the
misassigned patch, unintended playing outcomes, FX overloads /
calibrations and pinnacles of performative exploration can all create
sources for eclectic new material.

"Chance Reconstruction - M. Ostermeier" (review)
M. Ostermeier's piano-based compositions inhabit a similar wistful sound
world to other post-classical artists, but his electronics provide more of
an irregular ambiance for the piano rather than commenting on the delicate
melodies directly. Chance Reconstruction is the first full-length album
from an artist with an eclectic background in post-rock and independent
music in Minneapolis.

"Edward Rizo ? Soundscapes I" (review)
Volume One of Edward Rizo's Soundscapes is constructed from smooth and
serene electronics that creates its own sense of place. Deep bass and
sounds mysteriously appearing from nowhere suggest a subaquatic
environment, isolated and reverberant.

"Fragments" (review)
Steve Roberts takes parts of his past, arranging them to create new
pieces, the resulting Fragments essentially remixes of tracks from three
previous Amongst Myselves albums. In many places single musical sounds get
a refresh through re-setting them against field recordings; their
deployment throughout serves to render Fragments a flowing whole.

"Music In Four Movements" (review)
Talvihorros deploys an array of instruments to touch various musical bases
on Music In Four Movements, which dwells on the emotional dynamic of a
suicidal impetus. An ostensibly bleak theme, but it presages no doom-laden
death ambient suite; a more ambiguous tenor presides, at times hymnal,
amid the murk and midden in an evolving involving suite.

"Out and About" (review)
On Out and About Herion's melding of post-classical sonorities with an
expansive remit issues in a kind of spatial chamber music with shifting
cadences which might be designated 'post-ambient'. Marzorati?s piano
motifs, mixed with Coniglio?s melodica, harmonica, and treated guitar, all
commingle sonorously in Errante?s settings.

"Over Pass" (review)
The latest release on Gears Of Sand from Montreal's Skinwell sits well in
the label's collection of works, in the corner where post-industrial and
ambient consort. Of 50-plus exhibits in GoS?s exhibition halls, the
contents of Over Pass are among the most densely layered sound sheets
hammered out in Delaware or anywhere you care's foundries.
