New #review today: "The last two releases by #BrandonSeabrook featured a fairly large ensemble and Seabrook completely on his own. Hellbent Daydream falls in between, with the leader joined by #HenryFraser (bass), #EricaDicker (violin), and #EliasStemeseder (piano and synthesizers). The absence of drums and percussion lends the album a feeling of being #ChamberMusic—really weird chamber music." #ExposeOnline #AvantGarde #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/brandon-seabrook-hellbent-daydream-2.html
New #review today: "The seven tracks at hand are all collaborative compositions featuring #CraigPadilla on synths, sequencers, and drum programs, and #MarvinAllen on effected guitars and eBow." #ExposeOnline #SpottedPeccaryRecords #ElectronicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/craig-padilla-marvin-allen-unfolding-skies-3.html
New #review today: "The latest #FruitsDeMerRecords introduction retrospective release is the massive 4 CD set An Introduction to #Astralasia. Just like labelmates Sendelica, Astralasia is noted for their extended musical excursions. In this case, the 40 tracks on this collection range from four to fifteen minutes in duration for a modest total of five hours of music." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #PsychedelicMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/astralasia-an-introduction-to-astralasia-6.html
New #review today: "Can I say that Thirteen sounds like no #SoftMachine album before it, but sounds completely like Soft Machine? It has historically been the case that every Soft Machine album is a transitional one, marking the debut of #AsafSirkis on drums. It’s the second with #FredTBaker on bass, the third with #TheoTravis (I’m only counting studio albums released under the name Soft Machine), and the fourth with #JohnEtheridge." #ExposeOnline #jazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/soft-machine-thirteen-2.html
New #review today: "Seems like just yesterday, but in fact it was two years ago that the duo of #TenkVanDool and #PaulSears released their debut collaboration. Sears of course was previously the drummer for #TheMuffins, and van Dool is from the California project #TempleOfSwitches. Basal Ardor is their newest release, and it seems as if the partnership will continue." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/tenk-van-dool-paul-sears-basal-ardor-3.html
New #review today: "I’ve been a big fan of #EmilyBezar’s music since I first heard her back in the 90s, and each successive release has provided further evidence that my enthusiasm is justified. She creates a unique blend of rock, jazz, classical, and experimental electronic music that is full of unexpected sounds, poetic lyrics, and exceptional performances from all the musicians involved. All topped by her expressive and flexible voice." #ExposeOnline #ArtRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/emily-bezar-vista-2.html
New #review today: "Triangolazioni is a project led by Italian guitarist and composer #LucianoMargorani (of #HomunculusRes and #La1919, among others), something that began back in early 2012 when Margorani asked drummer #ChrisCutler (of #HenryCow and countless others) to record six rhythmic tracks on his own as if they were finished pieces, following only his own inspiration." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #DarioDAlessandro http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/luciano-margorani-dario-dalessandro-chris-cutler-triangolazioni-3.html
New #review today: "One can file #Algol under experimental without any worries, where sounds can exist in free form without any guide rails or rules. The trio is formed by German drummer and producer Christian Lillinger, Austrian keyboardist Elias Stemeseder, and Peruvian flutist and composer Camilo Ángeles, who also plays self-built aerophones and microtonal winds." #ExposeOnline #BuhRecords #ExperimentalMusic #ImprovisedMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/algol-algol-3.html
New #review today: "#FruitsDeMerRecords has released Synesthesia, which could be viewed as by the supergroup of #IcarusPeel (guitars), #StevePalmer (soundscapes, composition), #JayTausig (drums), and #RobGould (keyboards). The project grew out of a conversation between Peel and Palmer to create immersive, atmospheric music, which was then expanded with drums and keyboards for four ten-minute instrumental tracks." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/peel-palmer-tausig-and-gould-synesthesia-6.html
New #review today: "In addition to a similarity in names, the bands #WeLostTheSea and #WeStoodLikeKings have a stylistic relationship in that both of them can be broadly labeled #PostRock. The former is from Australia and the latter from Belgium, and I think it’s interesting to compare their latest albums." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/we-lost-the-sea-a-single-flower-we-stood-like-kings-pinocchio-2.html
