At The Still Point Of The Turning World
Joana Gama and Luís Fernandes's new offering At The Still Point Of The Turning World, borrows its title from T. S. Eliot's poem "Burnt Norton". It is a record of restless motion, lilting and pulsing with a sense of gentle determination. Born out of a period of mutual loss, the works carry a bittersweet sentiment. Bitter in the sense of loss; sweet in the sense of lingering memory and influences recognized of those departed. It is also a record that, like the poem from which it takes its title, m…

Early Experimental Electronic Music 1954-1961
Henri Pousseur was a Belgian composer, teacher, and music theorist active from the the 1950s on. Influenced by Pierre Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Luciano Berio, Pousseur may be lesser known than those contemporaries but his composition and technique is regarded by many as equaling if not surpassing much of the work of those more famous names. Realized in the same Cologne radio studio as much of Karlheinz Stockhausen's most famous work, this collection brings together some of Pousseur's gr…

Antony Harrison and Leyli have conjured something quite special on their latest Paco Sala album, finetuning their experimental urges for a session that sounds like Hype Williams in high definition. Seemingly orchestrated in the drug-addled downtime after extensive knee surgery, The Silent Season shifts away from Paco Sala’s outsider pop leanings of previous releases in favour of an 11-track collection …
