Francisco López & Miguel A. GarcÃa’s “Ekkert Nafn†reviewed by Toneshift
These two artists spent time collecting a pool of sounds together before individually exploring their own direction with them.

Francisco López & Miguel A. GarcÃa’s “Ekkert Nafn†reviewed by Badd Press
Artists who produce instrumental music – or to put it more precisely, music that doesn’t feature vocals – are often asked how they decide on titles.
