New #review today: "This release from #MartinArcher and #ClaireMcAllister on #DiscusMusic is a nine-piece song cycle that is at once powerful, unusual, and explorative, a sound that is mysterious and unexpected, free of restrictions yet quite listenable and beautiful." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/martin-archer-claire-mcallister-mast-year-3.html

New #review today: "#OrchestraOfTheUpperAtmosphere is a long-running (since 2012) improvisational group from Sheffield featuring a roster of members who record and perform in numerous other projects on the #DiscusMusic label." #ExposeOnline #ImprovisedMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/orchestra-of-the-upper-atmosphere-theta-7-3.html

New #review today: "Ten years back, #Frostlake was singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist #JanTodd, supported by her partner #TerryTodd and a carousel of guest players on the debut album White Moon, Black Moon. While each of their albums has a slightly different character, Shattered Stone could best be described as gentle, folky, and beautiful, but occasionally melancholic songcraft, embellished in modern and ancient instrumentation." #ExposeOnline #DiscusMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/frostlake-shattered-stone-3.html

New #review today: "We last caught up with #PaulDunmall for his 2024 album Red Hot Ice, as well as his collaboration with Laura Jurd in the same year, Fanfares & Freedom. There were about four more releases since, on labels other than #DiscusMusic, but to my knowledge Away with Troubles and Anxieties is his latest, and seems to have more in common with Red Hot Ice..." #ExposeOnline #jazz #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/paul-dunmall-away-with-troubles-and-anxieties-3.html

New #review today: "We last caught up with the improvisational duo of #WaltShaw and #JimTetlow on their 2023 release Inner Skull Trail, and Towards Momentum, the 2025 follow-up to that earlier release, is certainly no less strange, no less interesting..." #ExposeOnline #DiscusMusic #ImprovisationalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/walt-shaw-jim-tetlow-towards-momentum-3.html

New #review today: Six spontaneous compositions by five skilled improvisers with wide ranging backgrounds from jazz, folk, rock, classical, avant-garde, and of course improv. Recording Rites is The #OccasionalQuintet’s first release, and the liner notes state “The music was played without prior planning... there are no overdubs and no edits.” #ExposeOnline #DiscusMusic #Improvisation #ImprovisedMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/the-occasional-quintet-recording-rites-3.html

New #review today: "Star Quality - Speculations for Guitar and Voice is an attempt by guitarist #KeirCooper and soprano #EleanorWestbrook to take the power of her voice, the grandeur of opera, and electric guitar to create a conversation. The ten compositions on this album use various applications of technology (digitally-generated voice, autotune, micro-sampling, reverb levels etc), to push this duet to extreme sonic places." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #DiscusMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/keir-cooper-eleanor-westbrook-star-quality-speculations-for-guitar-and-voice-6.html

New #review today: "It was about a year ago when this writer was diligently listening to #PaulDunmall’s sextet release Bright Light A Joyous Celebration. Since that time we have heard him on his collaborative effort with Laura Jurd, or more specifically a merging of his quartet with Jurd’s quintet. Now we have Red Hot Ice, a smoking nonet working their #FreeJazz mojo on Dunmall’s extended compositions plus a few shorter pieces as well." #ExposeOnline #jazz #DiscusMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/paul-dunmall-red-hot-ice-3.html
