The name Karbé Dinel may not be immediately familiar to even dedicated followers of experimental music, but this mysterious artist delivers a contribution to the MMXX series that stands proudly alongside the more celebrated names in the roster. Indeed, part of the pleasure of a curated series like this lies in the discoveries, the artists whose work might otherwise have escaped attention but who reveal themselves, given the platform, as fully formed creative voices with something essential to of…
MMXX-03
Carl Michael Von Hausswolff is yet another artist in Matière Mémoire Éditions’ MMXX series with decades of remarkable work behind him. Stockholm based, since the 1970s he has worked as a composer using the tape recorder as his main instrument, while making often controversial interventions into the world of visual art. For the MMXX series he created a work entitled For Marietta, a vast reverent expanse of ambience, filled with shadowy images of the natural world, presumably collected as field re…

Primarily known as a guitar player, his musical gestures equally extend into electronics, modular synthesis, and compositions for contemporary classical ensembles.

Learning
‘Learning’ - Sophie Agnel’s first solo LP, feels like the dark, physical inversion of her excellent ‘Song’ which came out on Relative Pitch earlier this year. Sinking her unique sound into vinyl for the first time, the LP arrives as Agnel recovers from a brain tumour - a shocking discovery that will require Agnel to start again with the piano. It’s a terrifying prospect, but Agnel has been here before, having reorientated herself almost entirely away from her early classical training over the la…

Shadow Machine
Shadow Machine is the first CD by Tom Hamilton and Bruce Eisenbeil, who began playing music together in 2007. Coherence without predictability, speed without tempo, direction without a roadmap - an unlikely foray into the world of out-jazz and free improvisation.
It's a duo that thwarts expectations of its specific instrumentation. The artists hybridize the language of electronic sound through Eisenbeil's guitar and Hamilton's virtual analog synthesizer, and the live-in-the-studio tracks insure …
Trios

Four String Quartets
Alvin Singleton’s (b. 1940) approach to music-making has all along been involved in an interplay with listeners and their psychology. While this does not mean he has been centered on simply pleasing his audiences, his work seems to constantly draw his audience into confronting challenges of listening, and they tend to end up pleased. Therefore, with so many of his pieces, they might be extremely complex and masterfully crafted, but seldom do you feel he presents the listener with something they …

Terminal

Built around bright, chiming guitars and insistent rhythms, the album channels the energy of mid‑’80s college rock while keeping the songwriting lean and direct. Tracks like “Off and ON,” “Changeless,” and “That Stupid Idea” showcase a knack for hook-laden melodies that stick after the first listen, yet the arrangements never feel polished t…
