Listening Mark

Hilde Marie Holsen - Lazuli

Haunting melancholy slow trumpet lines over an apocalyptic sci-fi collage of other instruments and found sounds / recordings. Beautiful.

Felicity Mangan - Creepy Crawly EP

5 track ep. Found animal sounds, insect noises and field recordings creating and merged with simple rhythms and beats. Hypnotic electronic nature.

Lawrence English - Lassitude

2 Tracks. A stunning work that is a live performance with no edits or processing on one instrument - a late 19th century pipe organ. Harmonic, slowly evolving, modulating, hypnotic.

We Like We & Jacob Kirkegaard - Time Is Local

12 short pieces built around a 12-hour live sound installation and performance. Strings, vocals, percussion, other sounds. Haunting, sonorous, sometimes dark, sometimes sparse.

Favourite track: "Hebe".

Maria W Horn - Epistasis

Slowly evolving melodies and chords, piano, strings, organ, and other sounds. Hypnotic, melancholic, beautiful, sometimes peaceful, sometimes dark.

Favourite track: "Konvektion".

Ellen Fullman & Theresa Wong - Harbors

Harmonic and sometimes discordant layered tones and sounds from long strings and cello. Haunting, sonorous, thoughtful, varied.

Anne Müller - Heliopause

35 mins of beautiful melodic minimal evolving and resolving arrangements for cello and other instruments and sounds.

Favourite track: "Drifting Circles".
