Boldly departing from his previous canon of largely 'ambient' work, Material Object's Telepath renders itself out as something much stranger, someth…
Luz
Luz was produced in an unconventional way, with a sampler, MPC1000. Lorenzo Fringuello chose four musicians: Alessandro Bossi on bass, Daniele Cruccolini on drums, Alessandro De Florio on piano, Cesare Vincenti on trumpets. The four were left free to play on the basis of some musical cues and intuitions. Once the tracks were obtained, Fringuello sampled, cut, processed and recomposed them. The result is an album of seven tracks with a metropolitan funk-jazz sound.

Form & Feeling
Nein Rodere is the moniker of the Berlin-based music maker and visual artist David Roeder. Having played in bands for more than 20 years - often times making improvised music with other “non-musicians” - Roeder was trained in painting and psychodynamic art therapy. This multifaceted background underpins the complex humour and multiple dimensions of meaning (and double meaning) that bubble below his work. The body of solo efforts that has slowly emerged over the last five years brings to mind the…

The Notional Pastures Of Imaginary Softwoods
Time bends for Imaginary Softwoods, the solo guise of producer, songwriter, and synthesist John Elliott. Though he’s working on new recordings daily, Elliott’s process for the construction of his albums moves at a much different interval, stretching out over months of considerate listening, revision, and waiting patiently for the right combinations and clashes of elemental forces to materialise on their own. The Notional Pastures of Imaginary Softwoods continues Elliott’s practice of zeroing in …
