Endings
Mueller always delivers the goods, in the sense that he hurls each clipped plotline into an unmistakable, impassable “end;” however his endings are never the epiphanies his stories require. Instead they offer only the further mystification of an already lost cast of characters, managing to transform a clever variety of hum-drum pursuits and circumstances into windows to another hellish dimension.
Osso Exótico + Z’EV

The pieces have the gravity of fine drone work, but they …
Her name
"Her Name" is a record founded on meetings and voices. Having toured extensively throughout Europe, China, Japan, and the U.S., Bosetti's performances consisted of some of the music you'll hear within. During the performances he sat, with a computer sitting on a table next to him, his voice at the aural focus, coming from his mouth in the middle of his face, he translated the recorded voices of the people he's met along the way. Those voices appear in this recording. However, many more things al…
