Review: Fani Konstantinidou – Winter Trilogy / The Big Fall

MOVING FURNITURE. The bellows collapse. There is an expulsion of air, but then so much more: a low drone that pools like water, with overtones that dance upon the surface as prism light. The thick, fermented aroma of several vanished years, of history and heritage, the scent like a matted

Interview: Zeno van den Broek

There’s a wonderful calm to Zeno van den Broek’s latest album, titled Paranon. Partly that’s the inherent softness of those sine waves.

A nervous, nauseous whirr presents itself in varying degrees of obfuscation: sometimes

Review: D'Incise - O esplendor natural das coisas e inferno

Gravity increases tenfold. The energy of O esplendor natural das coisas e inferno points downward. Bass frequencies press against my head like a searing sun, alternating between the hum of a dying refrigerator and the grubby churn of a construction site crane engine. I feel like someone is forcing their
