From Sonomu:

Another Electronic Musician, Patience (n5MD)
Perhaps “Another Electronic Musician” by name, but certainly not just another electronic musician by performance. First of all, few of the current younger (faster, louder) generation would take the word “patience” into their mouth, let alone title their album and practice it therein. Subtlety… [read]

Machinefabriek & Stephen Vitiello, Box Music (12k)
A collaboration that makes perfect sense, but which came about in a most unusual manner. Stephen Vitiello wrote from his home in Viriginia to Rutger Zuydervelt to order some CDs. An e-mail correspondence ensued and finally the two decided to collaborate. For two musicians so well-versed in… [read]

El Heath, A (Rather) Dead Sea Liner (CDR Dead Sea Liner)
El Heath plays sea shanties on deck of the ship of the damned, constantly struggling to be heard above the chatter and mumblings of its passangers. This five-track EP starts off sounding more like an old 78. El Heath performs on an out-of-tune piano further distorted by lo-fi recording acoustics… [read]

Ljova, Vjola: World On Four Strings (Kapustnik)
Lev Zhurbin is a Moscow-born Manhattan resident who works under the affectionate diminutive “Ljova”, which also happens to make a nifty anagram for “vjola”, the instrument he is showcasing here on his first full-length release. Son of Alexander Zhurbin, who composed a rock opera back in Russia, and… [read]

Kenneth Kirschner, Filaments & Voids (2 CD 12k)
A bulked-up project with a meek approach. Some one hundred and fifty minutes stretched over two discs, where Kenneth Kirschner examines the properties of vibrating air. Aside from the variety of solo work available by this self-professed composer of “indeterminate” music, he also collaborated on… [read]

Kelli Shay Hicks, Buck Again (Carbon Records)
The music and lyrics of Kelli Shay Hicks are fresh as a pie cooling on a windowsill in some small town. Though the paint is peeling off the house and on closer inspection, the town itself is looking a little run down. “Bucked” is a brief EP containing three songs recorded by her friend filmmaker… [read]
