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

#NewRelease: #InclusionPrinciple - Clarino Oscuro new #ExperimentalMusic on #DiscusMusic out tomorrow. https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/album/clarino-oscura-9011dl-2025

New #review: "#InclusionPrinciple began back in 2005 as the duo of #HervéPerez and #MartinArcher. Their first recording in 2006 was credited to the two and titled The Inclusion Principle; their second album in 2010 and all recordings since are credited to Exclusion Principle. The Call of a Crumbling World is the group’s fifth studio album..." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #DiscusMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/inclusion-principle-the-call-of-a-crumbling-world-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

New #review today: "While #Uroboro’s debut was a sprawling assemblage of two studio sessions lasting well over two hours (and even more with all the bonus tracks if one downloaded it), this second effort shows what the group can achieve in a live setting, offering five cuts drawn from that debut, A Story Like Fire, plus two cuts scheduled for the band’s next studio album in 2025." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #DiscusMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/uroboro-as-in-an-unpicking-of-times-garment-3.html

New #review today: "Right up front, I have to say Private View from #MartinArcher and #JanTodd is one of the most interesting releases of recent vintage on #DiscusMusic, combining many different musical elements into something entirely new and unpredictable, and it’s thoroughly satisfying." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/martin-archer-jan-todd-private-view-3.html
