Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with Fallen Trees a studio album by Ukrainian composer and pianist Lubomyr Melnyk. It was released on 7 December 2018, Erased Tapes Records.
Fallen Trees was met with "universal acclaim" reviews from critics...
...Speaking on behalf of Drowned in Sound, Benjamin Bland said, "This, like the other excellent records he has given us since his belated emergence into the global limelight, is a work of quiet - but nonetheless defiant – beauty from a true great of contemporary classical music". Kevin Press of Exclaim! gave the release an 8 out of 10, writing: "At 70, Melnyk is producing some of the most physically demanding work of his career. And he's doing so in front of a bigger audience than he's ever enjoyed. This is a recording of a composer/performer very much at the top of his game." - Wikipedia

Ended the weekend and welcomed a Monday off work with Salero (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
by Adam Wiltzie, released on Erased Tapes in 2016
“I have always said that composing music is infinitely easier when you have beautiful images to be inspired by. It was a pleasure to write a score over this captivating place of endless, glimmering salt before its impending demise. I was fascinated by this mythical space and its ability to define the identities of the people who live in its vicinity, where this vast salt flat itself would be a central character” – Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie

Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Atomos VII
by A Winged Victory for the Sullen, released on Erased Tapes in 2014.
..April 28, 2014 sees the first installment leading up to the release of the second full length studio album ATOMOS, and score for choreographer Wayne McGregor's long form dance piece.
..This EP also sees the involvement of Ben Frost, who composed the music for McGregor’s previous work Far...
‘While we were re-amping guitars at Greenhouse studios, Ben expressed interest and admiration in the sounds we had created. We were planning for the B-side to be a metamorphosis of part VII, and Ben seemed the obvious choice. With the multi-tracks transformed, it follows a trajectory that we had not felt comfortable with before. But with Ben's involvement and influence, it was a painless entrance to this crooked, distorted world.’ – Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie

Slipped into sleep and greeted the new day after a swim with the sublime Mirage by Ben Lukas Boysen, released on Erased Tapes in 2020.
“A lot of the elements and instruments you hear on the album are either not what you think they are, or exactly what you think they are but behave differently or they’re elements you definitely know but they are hidden, processed, or morphed into something else. With Spells and Gravity I was trying to hide the machines. On Mirage, I’m trying to hide the human” — Ben Lukas Boysen

ended the long weekend and started the short week with Variations of Static
by Ólafur Arnalds from 2008 on Erased Tapes
The Bandcamp description:
"Only 21 years of age, Olafur hails from the suburban Icelandic town , Mosfellsbaer, just a few Kilometres outside Reykjavik. He has immersed himself completely in the world of delicate symphonic compositions in a near weightless orchestral undertaking. Mixing strings and piano with loops, ambience, electronics and beats, his music fits into the Erased Tapes catalogue like a peice of a jigsaw puzzle. Debut album 'Eulogy for Evolution' took the listener on a journey, representing different periods in life, from birth to death. While keeping the classic foundations of his debut, here arnalds incorporates crackling electronics and the dead voice of a machin; like vague memories of tradition lost within the digital age we all live in."
