New release: David Lee Myers’s “Reduced to a Geometrical Point”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 21 September 2021

I am not an advocate of “music for meditation” and in fact believe that to be a completely misguided notion. However, I have observed that some audio constructions seem to encourage a posture of staying in the moment. This has proven to be a fascination over time. As I began the present sonic explorations, a […]

New release: Jos Smolders’s “Submerge-Emerge”

By Miguel Carvalhais | Published: 13 April 2021
