Review Reblog – Viv Corringham: Until I Learn the Language of Vegetable Mineral — We need no swords

Quote

“Using minimalist backings comprised of field recordings or her own looped or multitrackedvoice, these short pieces feel like bizarre diary entries brought to life- unusual and affecting.“

Ghost choirs, folk traces.

Review – Nonlocal Forecast: Bubble Universe! — We need no swords

Quote

…and now for something completely different

” A diverting set of glossy, vaporwave-inflected cuts from Nonlocal Forecast that, despite the occasional lapse into the kind of burbling groove you might hear in your dentist’s waiting room, emits a strange, sticky aura sufficient to hold our interest” –

Reblog – International Women’s Day 2019 — MAKING WAVES

Quote

There is always just so much posted on IWD and increasingly I feel overwhelmed by all the sheer amount of articles and playlists.

The theme for International Women’s Day in 2019 is #BalanceforBetter. Happy International Women’s Day!

Reblog – Chosen One: Julia Kent — FRACTURED AIR

Quote

 

“ JK: I’m always interested in processing organic textures and combining them with electronic textures in a way that blurs the boundaries between both, so that it’s hard to tell where one leaves off and the other begins.”
