Chant
Over the last couple of decades Magda Mayas has developed a rigorous and distinctive prepared piano practice, working inside the piano with great musicality. The music on Chant captures a dramatic expansion of the pianist’s vision. Reflecting her devotion to social and musical communities through recent stretches of political upheaval and the disruption of the pandemic, she’s found solace in harmony and repetition, and after a period of exploring such sounds with clavinet and Fender-Rhodes, she …
I Still Feel the Future Is Far Away
Stifled wailing distortion, suspended chords, glistening bundles of gentle mallet strikes, streams of notes produced by handheld fans. A nearly hour long session of free improvisation - played and recorded without pretense in a basement - by two of St. Louis's most dedicated improvisers and organizers of the city's warped and faded experimental music scene.
Sans Visage
Félicia Atkinson first saw Les yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face), the 1960 horror film by Georges Franju, when she was a teenager, around the turn of the century. At the time she was frequenting arthouse movie theaters, immersing herself in cinema, and she was encouraged to go by her father.

Diffraction
*2026 stock* Diffraction is the amplified reflection, across a wider sonic territory, of what takes place within the making of DDK’s music. A composition written for the GGRIL, in which the three musician-composers weave their texture by juxtaposition, by overlay, in parallel, always within the musical material itself. But Diffraction truly comes to life only through close collaboration with the GGRIL performers, where each person’s character becomes raw material. A compositional process intimat…
