***MIGUEL A. GARCIA from the Basque country, is one of the most dynamic sound artists in the Spanish scene. His work focuses mainly on the composition and electro-acoustic improvisation. He uses sounds taken from electronic devices residues, often interrelated with field recordings or acoustic instruments, in the search of an intimate, intense and immersive experience. A music of adventurous forms, full of contrasts and having nevertheless a sense of humor. Questioning the borders between electro-acoustic academic music, industrial music and the so called outsider music.

***Italy's WOUND returns with a side of grim and grimey soundscapes reminiscent of abandoned civic buildings after midnight. "Quiet Life In The Wild Regression" oozes stark creeping dread. KEZIAH MASON, of Providence, brings us a dense and disorienting ritual from an alien forest. "Hounds Crawl Up The Pylons, Teeth Rested, Rusted And Ready" comes across like a haunted hymn on dead air. C60.

***“Place of the Hidden Sun is a minimal abstract mystery of human beatbox style hyper rhythmic arrangements weaved with strange fields of glimmering melody to create lo-fi spiraling pop ambience. Hailing from Milan, Italy, Adele H. uses looping repetitive flowing vocals worked into beautiful circular figures adding pulses of breath, claps and hand percussion paced on repeated short spoken pieces. There's so much going on, and the vocals are more like another instrument, like a more psychedelic, more augmented textual brilliance. Corum plays soft focus prismatic choral shimmers underpinned by woozy high end melodies molded into new warped shapes of sound. The result is is strangely hypnotic, not just the words, but the percussive elements of recorded female vocals that are transformed into beats sprinkled amorphous shards of choral synthesizer, creating weirdly meditative trancelike expanses.”
