// Jazz & Improv //
Andy Sheppard:
For “Salt Catchers,” Andy Sheppard assembled a drumless trio, awarding harmony and melody more space. Inspired by photography and a particular sense of longing, the music breathes an air of magical realism in dimly lit, breathtakingly still color fields.

Bo Wiget and Luigi Archetti:
The cover of the duo's latest endeavour shows nothing but a framed, white canvas. Each piece is a “pencil” - an inspirational tool for the mind to fill the void. It is a great concept for these charming, constantly surprising interactions which, ironically, are in need of no concept whatsoever.

Adam Schatz:
The sessions for “Civil Engineering” were just a test. They weren't even supposed to turn into an album. And then things just fell into place. Recorded in an intimate trio constellation but making using transformative electronics to great effect, these pieces open a space of infinite possibilities.

Noni-Mouse:
Radhapriya Gupta moved from Mumbai to London and instantly incorporated more local influences like Burial's distinct beat-building style into her productions. Having grown up on singing neo-minimalist music in a choir, she has never come closer to realising her personal vision.

Sunken Cages:
Rhythm is a global vector. That's why Ravish Momin's music as Sunken Cages is world music in the true meaning of the word: Rooted in fierce beats, beyond-the-pocket grooves and spiritual resonance, these atmospheric drum studies are physically impossible to resist.

Zoe Kypri:
The singer has worked with house maestro Black Coffee, rising producer 40D and orchestras, emerging as an in-demand interpretor of deep, soulful tunes. Clearly, she has a “big” voice. That's not what ultimately counts, however, she feels. The real challenge is to tell a story and trust the journey.

PHAL:ANGST:
For 20 years, the Austrian ensemble has looked darkness in the eye and countered its doom with sweltering, ferociously crawling industrial anthems. If the result is equally ugly and beguiling, then that's for a reason: It is only after you've confirmed your worst fears that change can take place.

Giulio Aldinucci:
“When we ignore noise, it disturbs us,” Cage asserted, “when we listen to it, we find it fascinating.” But what if we probe and drill into it like Giulio Aldinucci? Searching for structures in complexity, revealing beauty where others see brutality, his work sets free music encased by the ages.

Mats Erlandsson & Gus Loxbo:
This conversation with two artists from Stockholm's rich experimental music scene is a deep and personal exploration of improvisation. Recorded in 2 days and then refined for months, their LP, meanwhile, demonstrates how little words mean compared to the time-arresting quality of their music.

I Want Poetry:
Right from the start, the Dresden duo wanted freedom and real danger instead of comfort and convenience. On their third full-length, they take the liberty of replacing dystopia with hope. Their songs are encoded messages, wrapping deep thoughts into glorious, shimmering arrangements.

Eilis Frawley:
Eilis Frawley never set out to record a kraut album. And, despite obvious overlaps, she hasn't. Driven by trance-inducing drum patterns and coolly delivered vocals, her music may lead listeners into similar states of mesmerising weirdness – but these worlds are all hers.

Animal Invisível:
If your headphones could pick which music to play, they'd choose “Animal Invisível.” The brainchild of composer-guitarist Guri Assis, his demo-disc-level debut weaves a utopian cocoon from 70s spiritual soul, sweet funk and electronica that makes you believe in human goodness again.

// Classical, Neoclassical, and Contemporary Composition //
Simon Goff:
Simon Goff is fond of the word “experience.” It motivates him to write music with the archaic power to transcend the acoustic realm: Scored for string ensemble, synths and 4 unique sonic spaces, his latest work is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences you will have this year.

Chad Lawson:
Chad Lawson is writing music in the key of compassion. Leading listeners into a place of great calm, his pieces open up spaces to breathe or let go, to focus intently or to surrender. Some say music begins where words end – with him, it starts before they are even released into the world.

Tönky Hönk:
“We can go into any performance fully convinced by our rehearsal process and the thought we’ve put into an interpretation, but listeners may pull out wildly different experiences than we’d imagined."
