Of het nu 1 april was of niet, de veelzijdige kunstenaar Philippe Petit eiste onze aandacht op met zijn eclectische album Closing Our Eyes. Net zoals veel van zijn werk is ook dit album een niet voor de hand liggende verzameling nummers die elektronica en akoestische speelsheid met elkaar vermengen.

Crónica is a Portuguese label with loads of highly experimental or conceptual releases. This one, “NRD DRM TWO 2022-2024” by Russian Ilia Belorukov, is highly conceptual. Because of that, I listened to this one several times because I didn’t feel anything, but I did think a lot. And with the whole thinking versus feeling, I …
