Haukur þór Harðarson’s music balances between what is perceivable and non-perceivable, yet physically felt and present.If one would to listen to his “Through the Whole Fabric of Your Being” they would constantly be bounced and flipped between the layers of air.

Listening to Galaxies faraway, here and now.
I don’t think that there will ever be words accurate and nuanced enough to express the love and admiration I have and feel for Iannotta’s music, and all the “imaginatoriums” that it takes my mind to. Her sound world is so extraordinary, and extraordinarily detailed and different for each work that sort of each one…
Into the wonderland with the Wanderer(s)
This piece of aural beauty arrived just in time to give that special sprinkle of wonder and make the weekend magical! Because Cassandra Miller‘s CD “O Zomer!”… it is, simply put, pure magic!

Especially when it comes to the piece for violin and piano. “Receiving the Approaching Memory”. Somehow, it feels like while listening, one is reminiscing…
Enchanting and whimsical: Suzanne Ciani’s Buchla Concertos, here to stay
The enchanting and whimsical “Buchla Concerts” (1975) of Suzanne Ciani – the untold story of the first woman on the proverbial moon. “… It was a manifesto and a gateway to a new world, that somehow never quite opened. If the unfamiliar, modernistic, melodic, pulses, tones and harmonics found on this 1975 live presentation/grant application/educational…
The mesmerising Fail
“This is a piece about the failure, the tenacity, the frustration … Try to do something over and over time. And interrupted every time. But keep trying, though every attempt is harder and failure is even more difficult and frustrating than the last.” Milica Djordjevic
