The Wrong Echo
2010 release ** "Canadian sound artist Steve Bates works with hi- and lo-tech instrumentation and equipment to produce a restrained, delicately abstract electronica. ”Everywhere Little Explosions” encapsulates his methodology: a two-note piano motif is looped and fed through distorting baby monitors and computer software until it becomes a sort of psych-fuzz mantra. Bates favours sounds that confound the ear by occupying the exact midpoint between the synthetic and the natural, such as the digit…

Live In Los Angeles
2005 release ** A certain humor shapes the conceptual dialectics of the Chessmachine live experience. Their interplay suggests the historical confrontation of East and West; an austere and chilling tete-a-tete over the chessboard that reconstructs the somber milieu of a bygone Europe, even as it conveys a kind of absurdist levity through the rehearsed performance of these roles. The use of MAC and PC computer operating systems by Chartier and Pavlov, respectively, becomes the late-20th century m…

15-Tet Oakland

We’ve got guitarists, woodwind, percussion, drum and double bass – hell, even a koto player makes an appearance, and each musician is a shining light of the Californian experimental musical landscape. Guided by a graphic score the musicians play in a semi-improvised manner, eschewing the traditional punk hyperac…

Pink
2015 release ** "Maria da Rocha's name may not be familiar to jazz and improvised music lovers in Portugal, because this Lisbon-based violinist and violist has worked primarily in the Berlin and Stockholm circuits, and much of her dedication has gone to interpreting the great composers of contemporary, classical, and baroque music. In her own projects, however, she embraces the processes and aesthetics of improvisation, and it was in this context that we heard her at Creative Fest late last year…
Whitby
David Boulter, best known as a long-time member of Tindersticks, returns to Clay Pipe Music with Whitby - an evocative mini album inspired by the stark beauty and unsettling calm of England’s North Yorkshire coast.

"I’m constantly inspired by my surroundings, or memories of them," he says. "Sat on an almost de…

Or as ABC’s ‘Poison Arrow’ put it, “she comes when she comes”. But it’s here. Finally.

So what have we got? Well, taking pole position on the cover of the Summer 2025 issue is the utterly unique Loula Yorke. In our b…
