Premonition
CD version. The album Premonition is a masterpiece of spiritual jazz, and reflects the spiritual awakening of a natural musical genius, Umlah Sadau Holt.

Over the years, David and I have shared an interest in both the material and immaterial implications of…

Blue Abstraction: Prepared Piano Project 1985–1987
Blue Abstraction compiles a selection of Jessica Williams’ lost prepared piano recordings.

The results are breathtaking; from melancholic soundscapes with Satie-esque lyricism to forcefully controlled cacophony, always grounded by the distinct emotional vo…
