Mar. 2nd, 2022 The North Pole and South Pole are amongst the most inhospitable, and mysterious regions on Earth. Both are massive white layers of ice and snow, profoundly cold, and unchanged for millennia. And yet, both poles have historically been seductive areas that have called explorers who wanted to experience and explore the beginning

When you hear the word ‘collide’ you might conjure up feelings of hurt, of moving objects gaining momentum and crashing into another object. In the instrumental, “Collide” you might say two flutes melt together into the basin of a piano bed. Nothing but airy, weightless tones come over you. “Collide” from flutists Steve Markoff and
Rock has undisputedly been struggling in the past ten years to maintain the relevant influence it had over pop culture for so many decades, but if it’s going to make a grand comeback in the 2020s, it’s going to need a lot of help from bands like Starfire. Starfire’s new album Dreaming of Your Destiny is one
Clawing away at the silence with a textured melody only meant to grow stronger with every beat, “Dead Messenger” establishes an angst-ridden – albeit muted – vibe right from the start. It’s definitely true that this isn’t the only song on the new eponymous EP from Illuminaut to incorporate physicality as a means of making
The bass lets out a singular hushed moan as we sink into the depths of “Traveling with Wayne,” the first song in the four-part tracklist of Mumex Trio’s Folds of Time, and as heady as this tonal introduction is, it doesn’t represent the most avant-garde moment we’re to encounter in this album. Contrarily, this is
Elektragaaz is here to score your life with their newest addition in their ongoing series, The Synaesthetic Picture Show, Now Playing Part 4. Elektragaaz is a multi-fusion instrumental group based out of New York City, headed by a mysterious figure that goes by Poppo Redband. The group pulls inspiration from almost every genre you can
When a record sounds or just feels conceptual aesthetically, it’s often burdened with a sense of overthinking the narrative characteristic of artists with a lot of ambition but little ability to fully realize their goals. If ever there was an exception to this unfortunate modern standard, I personally happen to think that Robert Miller’s Project
It’s not staggered, but there’s definitely a bit of tension-building technique guiding every note of “Rollaway” out of the speakers and into our minds this January. Go to Space Die’s debut album Red Air Don’t Care is filled with a tense, atmospheric rock of the purely instrumental variety, and while the absence of lyrics leaves the ultimate
Austrian indie artist Mary Broadcast and her band have established a solid reputation as a superb and balanced vehicle for her lyrics. The release Panic, however, elevates her art to an even higher level than she’s known thanks to its impressive scope. She chronicles, over the course of six songs, the trajectory of an intense romantic
The one and only, Dici, is at it again. This time, he’s picking up the pace, with the runaway romantic freight, known as “u n i.” If you aren’t already familiar with Dici, he’s kind of one of those types, you have to see to believe. To be perfectly honest, my first impression of him,
Deborah Lee Fong’s prolificness and high-energy is something we should all aspire to in these uncertain times. After all, for a veteran, bilingual Panamanian-American actress, things probably haven’t always come easily. But Fong has built herself up through the years as an acclaimed theater performer, having participated in numerous productions nationwide as well as having
Linda Collins is an actor, performer, and former musician who needless to say has been riding high for the last couple of years – with no signs of slowing down. The Covid-19 pandemic and all its related, or otherwise associated aftereffects have shaken up the traditional milieus of industry. This is particularly pertinent when it
You don’t need a lot of frills to make something powerful – you need soul, charisma, and a good blueprint for the kind of music you’re going to record. Alyst and his collaborator, the brilliant Affluent Oscar Sanchez, are out to prove this statement true in the new single “Gold,” and while their efforts are
Designer Sue Wong threw an epic New Year’s Eve bash at her historical Hollywood estate, The Cedars. It was truly a celebration of beauty, magic and transformation which included amazing warriors of peace and light, Sacha Stone, Michael Jaco, Shifu Abbot Yeanfan of the Shaolin Temple, and the Reverend Patrick McCollum. Celebrity guests included Hollywood actors Billy Zane, Sadie Katz, two
From an instrumental point of view, there’s a lot to marvel at within the conservative construct of Morten Nygaard’s “Tomorrow Never Comes,” his virgin outing in the studio. Although pressurized in the master mix, the piano still glistens with a reflectiveness that, when placed next to Nygaard’s dynamic vocal as it has been here, feels
From the opening selection “Nocturnes, Op. 9 No. 1_No. 1 in B-Flat Minor” to the closing “Nocturnes, posth._No. 21 in C minor” French pianist Elizabeth Sombart tickles the ivories with refinement in her 21-song album, Singing The Nocturnes. Sombart cultivates Frederic Chopin’s masterpieces into a splendid experience. It’s been said and it sounds cliché, that music
