https://unexplainedsoundsgroup.bandcamp.com/album/vairagya Genre: Experimental Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp April 1, 2022 The distinction of borders are probably less important than they were in the 1960’s but there’s still a borrowing and building symbiotic relationship of artistic ideas among Italian and German composers. This one’s Italian and you can hear the space savore sanguino. Vairagya, I’veContinue reading “Vairagya by Mario Lino Stancati”

NIGHT for processed guitar by Elio Varesse
Genre: Ambient Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp March 15, 2022 Advertised as pure guitar no synths and I really don’t think it should matter a sound being a sound being a sound but somehow it does.

https://beachers.bandcamp.com/album/the-endless-endlessness-of-endlessness Genre: Experimental Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp February 28, 2022 I have traveled a good deal in Concord; and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways. Henry David Thoreau, from Walden From Beachers’ bandcamp notes: The tracks reimagine routinesContinue reading “The endless endlessness of endlessness by Beachers”

CYRE by Petteril
https://petteril.bandcamp.com/album/cyre Genre: Soft Experimental Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp September 9, 2021 In my opinion, this isn’t exactly ambient or drone but rather experimental music that should appeal to fans of those genres. Petteril bases the music around abstract and ethereal yet in some sense melodic musical lines. Sorry for continuing to define this musicContinue reading “CYRE by Petteril”
