"David Tagg - Waist Deep Seas of Milk" (review)
New York musician, David Tagg, has seen The Future of Modern Guitar. And
this sonic seer's astral projections are sumptuously spread across the
ambient expanses of Waist Deep Seas of Milk, though all trace of twang,
pluck and strum is dissolved in FX haze and spun out in endless echo
returns.

"Favourite Places" (review)
Everyone has a favourite place, whether cosy internal retreat or
cherished patch of Great Outdoors. Forest, bathtub, museum and alley
find common cause on this audio-document from Audiobulb, compiling ten
pieces representing selected artists' Favourite Places. Captured field
recordings blend with musical treatments to make mementoes enfolding
inspiring source within inspired composition.

"Hectic Tenuous - Chic Nerve" (review)
Starting with flanged, panned scratching (ala fingernails, not decks),
this solo CDR from The Caution Curves laptop lady Rebecca Mills, is an
eleven track melange of textures, echoes, drones, processed field
recordings and even the occasional bit of singing!

"La Ciutat Ets Tu - Tomasz Krakowiak" (review)
La Ciutat Et Tu surrounds the listener with evolving percussive
transformations in timbre. The compositions have a circular unwinding
quality, never abrasive and utterly hypnotic. Tomasz Krakowiak is a
Polish-born percussionist now living in Toronto, Canada. Having
collaborated with the likes of Kaffe Matthews, John Oswald, Phil Minton,
Otomo Yoshihide, Gert-Jan Prins among others

"Love City by Dsic" (review)
Dsic, also known as Greg Godwin, is a Bristol-based noise artist that
employs a wide range of influences and sound sources. Love City and the
miniDsic EP, both released through Lf Records, weave their way through
noise, drone, glitch, ambient and microsound.

"Nelson Foltz and Tom Lynn - Still Life (series)" (review)
The internally themed Rothko-esque cover art of the Still Life series
could stand as a semiotic of Nelson Foltz and Tom Lynn’s sound, with its
slow-shifting tones that spread across a spartan canvas - ostensibly
static swathes that reveal micro-variativity on deeper insertion.

"Of Memory & Dreams - Bill Thompson" (review)
There is a trajectory that many improvised electro acoustic performances
reach, which although unique in every given context, often manage to
take you to a zen like point where you become one with the signal and
phase in and out of listening to the development of structure or dynamic
of the work.

"Three Rooms - Steve Peters" (review)
Sound artist Steve Peters' recent CD, Three Rooms documents three of his
site-specific installations. The three pieces succeed without reference
to the installations for which the pieces were originally composed,
capturing the quiet reflection of the original locations.
